Yesterday 3200 miners were stuck 2kms underground, as of an hour ago there were still 1000 miners 2100 meters underground. Fortunately there have been no fatalities and food and water is being sent down to those still 'down under,' but I cannot imagine what those guys must be feeling stuck down in the bowels of the earth for such a long time. My thoughts go out to them and their families.

Below is a slideshow from The Times' multimedia section. (Well worth bookmarking)
