Hoo-ray! What a hellish situation. It's nice to see some uplifting news about this ordeal - it's nice to see some uplifting news in the barrage of bad news, full-stop.

i don't think they are miners. more like a construction workforce who were trapped in the very tunnel they were setting up.

there are no mines there.
