I read somewhere people comparing it Reality show. To me that is total disgust. Reality show does not stand anywhere to that. It is the question of life and death. The degree of uncertainty is not extremely but still high.
Thanks to BBC I watched it live for the whole time till the second miner Mr. Mario Sepulveda got into the capsule till he stepped on the ground. The wife of Mario, Ms. Elvira was nervous. Even though she was trying to project the most stronger and smiling a bit. But nervousness can be seen very easily.
I am feeling myself the excitement by sitting here more than 10,000 kms away from the site. Mario came out. He was not looking at all like he has spent nearly 70 days below the surface. Just looking like normal. I am sure numerous times getting died below the surface must have crossed his mind. Amazingly he brought the pieces of rocks as souvenirs and distributed among the rescue team.
One can see clearly the tears of joy in the eyes of her beloved wife. He hugged her first then to the others including President Sebastian Pinera and the first lady. I think these are the true times of the leadership. There was a clear support and empathy from the highest office of the country.
Just when I compare this situation with the President Zardari, who in spite of his country being devastated by the flood, travelled around the Europe, then to his residence in South of the France. I am just wondering how can he expect the respect of the Pakistanis with such acts. I am totally agree with media projecting it in the negatively. At least this is warning sign for the future leaders and a guiding post as how to respond to such situations.
Right at 5:00 o'clock in the morning, I am still wondering, had it be this tragedy happened in India or in China, would the outcome have different or the same. To be frank I suspect.
This certainly has garnered the positive publicity for the Chile on the world stage and proven its degree of responsibility towards its citizens. Just imagining rescuing from the below 600 metres which was never done before gives you a cold shivers.
Lessons to be learned from Chilean operation
Never in life say it is not possible. Challenge the status quo. Tilt the paradigm. Chilean operation has extended the envelop of the impossible. I am sure next time if such situation happens elsewhere in the world, they will be the first one to be contacted.
