Triubute to the Chilean Miners

Yesterday, I couldn't remember the word derrumbe in English. Juan and Gustavo stared at me as my brain just worked and worked and worked, but the word didn't come.

We were discussing the Chilean Mining accident, and the word would be collapse, better expressed by the New York Times and other sources as a collapsed mine shaft.

Knowing that they have started to rescue the miners is wonderful news!

From the NYTimes:
Mario Sepúlveda, the second miner to be rescued and the narrator of the much-watched video that took viewers on a tour of the underground quarters, told Chilean journalists, "God and the devil fought over me, and God won."
