After two months of devising a rescue plan and the right way to execute it, the Chilean government was able to hoist 33 miners out of a collapsed mine after 69 days of being trapped. Chilean President, Sebastian Pinera, was very adamant not giving up on these miners until every last one is safe. After the rescue Pinera states:
"I want to announce to the Chilean workers and the employers that we are going to make a new pact in which the life, dignity and protection of workers will be the focus of government concern."
This quote from the President of Chile shows that the Chilean Government is for the people. I believe this act humanness from the government is a sign of hope for developing countries like Chile to have a fair government that will do anything necessary to save human lives. The rescue mission is estimated to have costed anywhere between 10 to 20 million dollars, a large amount for the Chilean Government. But, President Pinera says, "Every peso was well spent." It is stereotypical of people to believe that government's in developing country would not give an all out effort to save it's citizen's. So, these swift, bold acts of the Chilean Government and President Pinera are very honorable. President Obama called the rescue mission a, "tremendously inspirational story." This Mission can be called all but unbelieveable.
What does "resqued" mean?
