Title: What the trapped miners are dealing with
Post by: chief1983 on August 23, 2010, 05:06:27 pm

They recently dropped a camera in to document how the last couple weeks have been, here's one of the pics

Also, they've been lowering supplies through a recently reinforced hole (http://www.kendallbruns.com/2004/040821Tube02.jpg).

That'd actually be a really good idea. Unfortunately, I doubt anyone bothers to invest in emergency rulebooks and dice...

Anyway, I'm horrible with Photoshop most of the time but I'm curious if someone else can come up with some awesome/wrong pics about this event.

I'm tempted to raid the Bay12 forums for Dwarf Fortress-related stuff, but...gotta play more Wings of Dawn.

Yeah, with any luck the poor underpaid sap who flies in to rescue those guys decides to do so BEFORE blowing the main reactor...


More seriously, I'm glad they're all okay and we can give them supplies until they're dug out. :)

I hadn't even heard about this until I heard that everyone was all right down there...which I guess is the best way to hear about it.
