ONLY FIVE??? Out of 33? That’s pretty impressive. I’d definitely be showing signs of full blown depression by now. I cannot imagine what it is like for them to be stuck in the middle of the earth. WHY have they been told how long it’s going to take them to free them? Surely not a good tactic in terms of team moral. Just imagine their conditions.
I see that there is a “Plan B” emerging. I love Plan B’s. Surely there is some far more advanced machinery floating around the world somewhere that can be sent to Chile ASAP?
My suggestion would be that BP’s Head of PR starts getting the ball rolling to start the rescue operation. Would do lots to improve their customer relations worldwide I’m sure.

It’s horrific isn’t it? I mean, they must be OK with being that far below the surface (she says breathing into a paper bag) but for how long? I hope they all make it.

Terrible! Inspired idea about BP though – especially with their state-of-the-art drilling kit! Perhaps you could start a blog competition (blogetition?!) to devise a game to keep them occupied. I spy, hide and seek or musical chairs aren’t going to work. Bananagrams would fit neatly down the borehole though!

Yes good idea – will start thinking Lx
