One of the events of this year will undoubtedly be the Chilean Miner’s rescue which became a worldwide event. The whole event was followed by millions like an on-going drama. One of the most important reasons for this news story becoming so widely watched is the hope that humans can sometimes beat nature. Those miners should have died down there but for some reason they survived, and there is nothing better than a tale with a happy ending. (by Prof. Simon Smith)
