How nice is it to have the world united and excited behind the successful rescue efforts in Chile? So rare to see good news stories these days, particularly on such a global scale. Every other 'good' story seems to have a negative side - people complaining about the cost of the Olympics in London, or the people who were trodden on along the way when one person (or company) makes it big. Even when it's a massive sporting success, such as winning the World Cup or something, there always seems to be an idiot element that ruin things for others. And let's not forget, there are people out there who bizarrely don't like sport.
Nice to have a reality check occasionally and to applaud the brilliant engineering behind the rescue mission. And great to see that it's not just the big Western nations who are capable of doing it. Just imagine how much different the rescue scenes would be if it was in the UK or America. The media circus would be on a ridiculous scale and the tabloid papers would have found ways to smear almost everyone involved....Posted byScott Fergusonat20:29
