Count me as one of the world’s few who have not seen the Chilean rescue on the rube tube. Bigger audience apparently than the World’s Cup soccer to-do. With more to come:
“I’ll be first on line to buy [their book] to find out how they maintained their discipline in rationing such small amounts of food during that first 17 days when they didn’t know if they’d be rescued. I can imagine doing that for a week or so, but as one week turns into two and you’re starving and desperate, discipline is bound to break down — or not, apparently.”
I did pass by the spectacle last night switching channels looking for the final Texas Rangers game. And there is the inevitable skepticism: “I think it’s all a hoax… the ‘rescue’ is actually happening on the desert in Arizona…like the ‘moon landing’/sarc.”
UPDATE: And then they were all rescued. The end. Or, only the beginning?
