Since we’re all rejoicing at the rescue of the 33 trapped miners in Chile, let’s put ourselves in their shoes. All in good fun, imagine how much free time you would have on your hands secluded in a cave for over two months.
Sixty nine days really isn’t that long but without all the luxuries of life, it must feel like an eternity. Delusion probably starts to set in after a while, and then crazy and can turn into creative! So here we go…
The top 10 things we would do if we were trapped in a mine:

6. Write it out: Victor Segovia has the right idea. The miner documented his experience the entire time in a diary, and plans to write a book about it. Thousands will sell for his first hand account.
