Had you heard about the miners trapped in Tasmania?

Tim Blair has been following this. Apparently when an earthquake caused a cave-in, these two were somewhat protected by a cage. They've drilled a hole to get food and water to them(and Ipods for entertainment) and they now have a boring machine cutting a rescue tunnel.

Deep-hole mining; that's a job I don't know if I could do, even without the threat of earthquakes.
