It's a miracle

Wow, today a miracle happened here in Australia, down in Beaconsfield Tasmania. Two miners were rescued from an underground cave-in, 14 days after it happened!!!! They spent 14 days underground trapped in the small cage that they had been working on the shaft wall, and were kept alive by food, water and other essentials being pushed through a small tube that had been driven through the rock. The rescuers were forced to tunnel underneath to rescue the miners, through rock tougher than concrete.
The trapped miners said that they wanted to walk out and they did to the roar of the crowd and into the arms of their waiting families. All of Australia cheered with them! It was truly an amazing moment, and an amazing day that I will remember for the rest of my life.
