33 Miners that Survived!!!

This is a current event that has happened, and what happened is After two months and nine days trapped 2,000 feet below ground in a collapsed mine, all 33 miners were slowly hoisted above ground Wednesday, thanks to the help of ingenious engineers in Chile.
The men who spent 17 days in the collapsed mine before a bore hole finally reached them were lifted back to the surface through an escape hole just 28 inches across. The entire operation took 22 hours. Each rescued miner rotated10 to 12 times in the NASA-designed skinny capsule on the 2,000-foot journey, so NASA researchers gave them a special liquid diet which helped to stave off nausea and vomiting from the dizzying re-entry procedure. This is like a miricle that had happened because the miners were under-ground for 2 months and they were still alive and survived out of the mine, so hopefully all of them are good in health and are back to normal.
