Chile Miners Rescue 18 Esteban Rojas Carrizo inc a Greeting from Barack Obama

[swaddyladd]

"from the NASA team which HELPED design the escape vehicle to AMERICAN companies that manufactured and delivered parts of the rescue drill to the AMERICAN engineer who flew in from Afghanistan to OPERATE the drill..." Obama- Chile did a magnificent rescue on professional and compassionate grounds and should be praised for their achievement. The world don't need hear your 'All American SH!T' bollocks

@swaddyladd It's amazing how everybody seems to miss the point. Who cares, it was a global effort. I'm in Australia and aussies here are also boasting that everything was Australian! Give me a break! The plastic they used was made in China, so it's a Chinese effort too!! The medication they were given was German! This was global effort , but most of the operators and rescuers were Chilean

@swaddyladd Anyway. I forgot to say. I truly and TOTALLY AGREE with you.

THis is politics at work. Even the Irish claimed it was thanks to their Irish made drill, never ending story...India could say that NASA is such a great Org cause 67% of its employees are of an Indian origin.

@swaddyladd and nasa only helped in "how to keep alive" 33 miners in a small space for a long time.. Nasa didn't help in design and construction of the capsule

Beautiful moment. I can only imagine what he said in that prayer..... God bless all of them and their families.

I have no doubt that the image of Esteban Rojas on his knee's praying will be an image etched in the minds of people for years to come.
