Chilean Miners: a new life.

MINERS

The case of the chilean miners, trapped deeply into the Earth for almost 70 days, caused a big impression in the entire World. For the first time in the history a group of men survived during a long time and the work of the rescue units permit to take them on the surface alive.
The press of the world concentrated their efforts to capture the situation and many of them, like the BBC, transmitted the all rescue operation, showing the importance that the press gives to this event.
This rescue become, in the case of our country, in a matter of national prestige and national pride, a symbol about what we are, about the “qualities” of own “race”, causing the entire country lived this drama day to day and compel the Government to use all their tool to take saves the miners.
After the rescue all the world wants to knows how their survived for a long time and, after it, many people wants to know who they are like persons, how they live normally, their families, their personal stories, etc. So, started the third part of this event (first part was to found them, second was the rescue ). A lot of the national and international press wanted to interview the miners. They received a big number of invitations coming from many countries, like Spain, Greece, the UK, etc. They received monetary offers too because this case “sold” to the public opinion and provoke big monetary utilities to the international companies, and national media too.
These facts changed to life of our miners. 70 days before the mine crushed upon them, they were common people, like any other workers, and suddenly they were transported into a unknown world, becoming like a rock stars, showed day by day in the medias of the country and the world. If we think that they don’t are people with a high culture, who are living in a little city their entire life, like Copiapo, for example, this projection onto the world attention surely had to be very hard to assimilate for them and their families.
It is inevitable that this case will be study deeply in the future. And use to make money too. Looking from the side of science this story is interesting because show how human beings can survive trapped for days and days, like Russian astronauts floating in the space for months. And will be used to make money, because is an interesting story, which concentrated the international curiosity, using books, films, interviews, just for quote some.
And it will compel the miners ( we don’t know if will be all of them or many ) to accept invitations, offers of many kinds of things, etc. In other words their drama will become ( but the true is that it is happening since a while ) a business, like happened with Che Guevara, the hippies and many others cases in the past.
A sense of mankind push the common sense to hope they would be return soon to have a normal life, if not their life can be very different and strange for them and looking they social skills that cannot be good.
