Do you guys think you would last 69 days in a collapsed mine?

Thats what it was, right? A collapsed mine? I am really glad that 28 of 33 miners at the moment have been rescued in Chile. :)

They really have my respect, I don't think I could've lasted that long, even if it was an accident. The conditions are around 90 degrees, they are pretty close to the mantle for it to get that hot, and the air isn't fresh and you're in a cramped up space.

They did get food water and a TV though.

if I made a mistake, I'll fix it. :)

Survive, yes. I wouldn't be surprised if I went nuts though.

Alone, I would have at least went nuts. But with people, it would have helped quite a lot. Everyone in that mine really went through a lot.

Do I have a DS?

I'd like to know where they defecated and urinated down there. I could just imagine how bad most of them smell. Oh, man.

Wouldn't be easy but i could survive anywhere with the right stuff.

As long as there is food, clean water/air and something to keep me from going insane (songs, word games, etc.) then I probably could last indefinitely. Though, a couple books would be nice for any REALLY extended periods.

Considering all of them made it out alive, I think I would have good chances. I am not as tough as a miner, but maybe I could make it.

I don't see why not. It's not like they were trapped in a tiny confined space. They had miles of tunnels and dozens of rooms/caverns that they were free to move through. Would it be any different from being inside a building for a couple months with all the windows boarded up?

hmmm, miners, in a mine, possibly with mining equipment. just a shot in the dark but im guessing they dug a hole and covered it with dirt. like an animal would.

You would be surprised at what a human being would do to survive.

idk if i will lasttrap like them , but im glad everyone is getting out.

Considering I'm alone, I would probably last for just about 2 days because of depression and boredom.

If there were couple of guys there with me, I'd last for 10 days I suppose.

So in short, I wouldn't last 69 days :cry:

Haha 69 *suppressed laughter*...Probably not. :P

Survive yes, but not sure if I would be able to handle it without training

I might survive, but that doesn't mean I would be sane when I get out.

If the other people were friendly, sure. We could play Mafia, Riddle Game, etc.Head_of_games

And I've got 3 months' worth of knock-knock jokes saved up for just such an occasion.

I would stay sane. I may be a crazy nut but when serious business goes down, im prepared.

What did they wipe with?

If I was in the same situation as the gusy from Chile I would wothout a doubt but in many other situations I probably wouldn't

I wouldn't doubt they had toiler paper, after all they were even getting PSPs but a psychologist said it wouldn't be good for them

I would already have eaten all the other survivors just to try and absorb their power.

Hehe 69 days and no.

Wait a second. They gave these guys PSPs? Wow. Just, wow.

People need to remember it was around 90 degrees with extreme humidity. Not to mention the smell of sweat, urine, crap and other stuff form 33 other miners in such a confined space. And during their first 17 days, they went by with a sip of milk and a bite from a tuna can every 24 hours, almost certain that they would die in there. Hell, I would be lying if I said I could survive for a day.Lastemperor28

Why has it taken so many days to get them out? I just don't get it. Was there a period of time before anyone found out they were trapped down there?

And when you're talking about drilling a hole big enough to fit a human through, you're talking about weeks of constant drilling. It's a slow process, and need to be taken on carefully, or risk another collapse that would jeopardize the whole operation.

Damn. How dirty did the guys look when they were brought up?
