Trapped miners ask for wine and get rejected

The trapped miners in Chile are already the longest-trapped in history and the wait will probably be months more.

The LA Times reports

In a telephone conversation last week with President Sebastian Pinera, the miners reportedly asked for “a little glass of wine” to ease the wait and to celebrate Chile’s bicentennial of independence, observed Sept. 18. “For the moment, there will be no alcohol. Nor tobacco, although almost all of them have asked for some,” writes a Chile correspondent…

The requests raise the issue of how to keep the miners psychologically sound.

Ya think?!

    Not to be too irreverent but this remind me of “A Very Brady Christmas” where Mr. Brady got stuck in that mine. All the family needed to do is sing “O Come All Ye Faithful” and he got out. Just saying.
