material that s needed. they stand up for what they believe. generally you don t find coal miners or any kind of miners be reticent. they ll tell you what they think. the third one is probably the most important. miners tend to keep their families together. the family is their strength. no matter what happens, they know their family s going to with them, is going to be behind them and take care of them. them and take care of them. the last one is also very strong and not afraid. we have all been so impressed by their faith, by their resilience. it is really what has captivated the world as we continue to watch this rescue. homer, i know you re going to stay with us. your information has been invaluable. but, again, i said at the top of this little block that the name is osman araya. richard louie, my colleague here will tell us a little more about the guy who s about to come up in that capsule. we hope within the next hour, richard. as we watch what s happening there in copiapo, we
darkness, the fact they haven t eaten well, they haven t slept well. so, they apparently each chose three family members that will be with them for these initial days, which i m sure was not easy to chose. apparently there was a little family tention in some of the miners families, which you can understand. as i mentioned, in jimmy sanc z sanchez s case, mom is planning a party for 500 so he ll see plenty of people soon. i m guessing there are a lot of moms and wives out there who are planning the favorite meal for their return. they ve probably already put in their requests. you know, what puts it in perspective is cease on youhe s. he basically is a kid. he s looking forward to the music and the dancing and parties. who can blame him for that? thank you so much. i ll let you go back to listening. i know you ll keep checking in with us and let us be updated on what they re telling us from chilean tv. such a fascinating perspective.
remarkable achievement. this was a little bit of what happened and their conversation after the rescue of the first miner going into the rescue of the second miner, mario sepulveda. take a look. we saw mario sepulveda, the second miner come out, he dropped the bag on the ground and started giving out rocks just like this. it was a moment that really captured the nation here because they all know how much this rock means to the country. it s not just a way of life for these men, and a very good way of life, but it is the primary industry here in chile. chile, actually a lot of people don t know this, it s one of the i believe, the third or fourth wealthiest latin south american countries. it s funny. where we are in the desert, you wouldn t come here but for the mining. there is very little that would draw you here. in fact, i think it s the lonely
flawlessly everything has gone and the humility of so many people watching, a billion people watching, countries all over, 36 countries at least. so, yeah, it s an incredible moment for zethem. there you saw his dad hugging some of the workers. so many of them who have been there tirelessly day in and day out. you know, it s very exciting now. but there s been a lot of rough work in the days in between when the mine first collapsed and there was a lot of attention, to these last few days when they knew there was going to be a rescue. and this really has been an effort, that although they have watched it very closely in chile, has been unrelenting and very stressful for them. exactly. one thing they were stressing on chilean tv is one of the reasons only three family members will be with them is because they re afraid of that letdown. you go from this euphoria to what could be depression due to so many physical factors, the
the daily telegraph said he was a carrier pigeon handler. he had gone to copiapo to do this. there is a sport with carrier pigeons. also heard that he has a serious dental problem. he was fed only warm pureed food. he s in a lot of pain. we can all remember when we ve had a bad dental issue. that s what his situation is. we also understand they were fed food to keep their weight down, so that might have worked to that as well. talking about god, as homer was talking about previously, there was the previous miner, jimmy sanchez in his letter to his family he talked about god many times. quickly, god wanted me to stay here, i don t know, so maybe i change from now on. he was thankful to god because he has a daughter. it s certainly in life with what
