Chilean Miners: getting trapped underground could be a blessing.

This picture got me thinking about the things we take for granted in life. Being confined to a such dark space with 33 other people is no joke. Not even the housemates from Bigbrother Africa would have the faintest idea what this ordeal must have felt like for the chilean miners. I believe the guys from the popular TV reality show had the hope of at least $200,000, but these 33 miners only had the hope of 3 drills slowly making their way down in a little over 2months and the hope of at least rescue.

But like in every challenge there is an upside the miners even before their rescue have already been offered book deals, movie deals amongst other perks like all expense paid trips.One thing is certian their lives have been changed forever and they have assumed full celebrity status. I bet in the next few weeks it will be lots of lights, cameras and action.

Even with all the perks above i would not give up the surface of the earth for the dark space though.
