-pops- Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Yes, indeed.I was wondering this morning: who is to star in the American misinterpretation and distortion of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bludgard Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I couldn't imagine....I'd be interested to know what kind of effect this experience has made on thier being.On a different note:Anyone know what thet'll do with the mineshaft when everyone has been evacuated?I'd wager one could keep a computer pretty secure in that environment.One Love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 No not sorcery, just the way that Hollywood distorts so many facts to suit itself whenever there is an event that does not involve, or only involves in a minor way, an American "hero".A few years ago, I could have imagined Schwarzenegger being depicted blustering has way single handed down the mineshaft firing all sorts of fantasy weapons clearing an escape route for the miners and then bringing them out one by one or perhaps two at a time carried on his shoulders.Perhaps not entirely accurate on my part, there but I think you may get the drift of what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwarzenegger being depicted blustering has way single handed down the mineshaft firing all sorts of fantasy weapons clearing an escape route for the miners and then bringing them out one by one or perhaps two at a time carried on his shoulders.Nice title.Great story-line.Ever thought about being a screenwriter?As for the Disney ride,sounds fun.

Gandalph Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Yes, indeed.I was wondering this morning: who is to star in the American misinterpretation and distortion of this?Probably Al Pacino or Benicio Del Toro would fit the bill nicely. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Just as well it didn't happen here, we'd still have the consultants in trying to decide what we the public want from an escape capsule and no way in hell would they have got the art department to sort out the colour scheme and logo until February.

Dencandy Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Wonderful for these men and their families. And well ahead of the original target date. My heart fell when I first heard the rescue would take until the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britbakes Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I definitely wouldn't have wanted to be the first or last guy out. Or the guy who had his mistress and wife both waiting at the top. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
