Years ago I went down a silver mine in Bolivia. The miners were good Catholics when they were above ground but below ground they worshipped the devil. So you would turn a corner in the mine and find an effigy of the devil with candles and drinks and cigarettes left as offerings, which was a bit spooky!
All tho the op is a bit odd, personally i have found this quite wonderful, so what if they've over done it on the coverage, it really isn't everyday that 33 miners get trapped however many feet underground in crazy harsh conditions for god knows how long. Its a great story that all are alive and well after such a situation. Yes people face danger everyday,yes people die every day but isn't it nice for once just to be happy that people didn't loose their lives and were reunited with their families? Yes people have done well out of it (love oakleys "gift" of the sunnies) but who the hell cares, its a good story that quite frankly makes me feel a bit warm and fuzzy inside *awaits jokes*.
Hmmm.......well I understand that you should use the right word for the right meaning. It might even be a good start to get the right number of letters.......
Then again it may just be a case of a 'sticky o' on your keyboard, eh?
Will they build a monument to Chile on the site or a church (paid for by the less fortunate) or perhaps just fill it in?
Perhaps a tourist attraction with proper elevator(s) to visit the "actual mine" and t-shirts/usual tourist tat.
Remember the Chile earthquake a few months ago? What? Oh yes I remember now...what happened to the less fortunate? Who stayed up all night to watch people pulled from the rubble? How many reporters and camera crews did the BBC have for the earthquake there seemed to be four for the mine rescue.
The whole thing becomes macabre after the initial public interest reporting of these incidents. Is it perhaps the case that there may be a voyeuristic element and some hope to witness further disaster?

What if they miscounted and there is one guy still down there?
"Hola! Hola! I'm still waiting..."

It was quite remarkable and lovely to see them being rescued Juan by Juan.
I was also surprised to hear one of them had mild pneumonia, you wouldn't have thought that down there it would be so Chile.
