Normally, I hate the excessive coverage by the news broadcasters on any event of supposed interest. However I have to say that like most people I have been glued to the TV set while the miners in Chile have been brought to the surface.
To have managed to pull these 33 men up through 2000 feet of rock has been a marvel of engineering and strong will. It was wonderful to see that the Chilean president was there throughout the entire operation - I wonder how many other heads of state would have made the commitment in time.
Currently, we are in the middle of yet another vicious political season and it was marvellous to see an uplifting story where humans triumphed over adversity.
