Terri Weissinger’s $30 shortfall turned into eight days of misery in the San Francisco airport.
An 85-year-old nun got trapped inside a broken elevator for four nights and three days while her sisters were out of town for a convention and she was alone in the convent.
They’re still trapped 2,300 feet below ground, but 33 Chilean miners got a nice, hot meal yesterday.
According to a union rep for the 33 trapped Chilean miners, the company that operates the mine has run out of money and can’t afford to pay the miners while they sit underground and wait to be rescued.
They’re stuck alone, in the dark, in a tight, cramped space for perhaps as long another four months. The 33 trapped Chilean miners might have become unwitting terranauts, but now they’re going to get a hand from the U.S. space program.
