They had been locked up for 17 days and the door was opened and they re like, We re not going on one of these stretcher things. We re out of here ! Then someone says, They re all out! They are all safe? Yes, they re all safe . I am like aaaaahhh. I cried happy tears.
I ve never seen such cooperation before. Problem solving. Everyone working together. And truthful. Someone from the prime minister s office was there the entire time, at the table, one of the team. Now you have to figure out how to get them out. And I m just gonna sit here patiently. But if you annoy me, I could actually ruin the whole game for you and for the people in here, which is the avalanche .
I would put my hand in the ground and have a little listen to what the mountain was doing. Actually, it was still collapsing. And there was a very real possibility that at some stage, without warning, the collapse could continue and continue across us, the people who were doing the rescue and also across to the men on the other side, who were being rescued.
Apart from showing gratitude to God, several social media users also thanked international tunnelling expert Arnold Dix. The Australian professor who played a key role in the rescue operation is being hailed as a hero for his 24/7 technical support on the ground.
