Imagine if you were the one trapped? How would your family cope with it?.

I congratulate all the workers that made this miracle happen

I was watching it last night. Why were they saying the strongest ones out first?. Should the weaker not have been first?.

The reason for that was is case the plan failed- the miner would have to be strong enough to lower himself back to safety through the escape hatch...

Did not hear the whole story but read once that they gave them smokes a couple of weeks after. Is that true, where did they smoke?.
