Chile volcano displaces thousands

Chile volcano displaces thousands

The Nilahue and GolGol rivers near the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano are set to burst its banks after its flow increased from 30 cubic meters per second to 160 cubic meters per second. In towns bordering the fiery mount, authorities have warned of imminent flooding after 3500 residents were evacuated. While 500 of them were still in shelters, authorities seek legal permission to evacuate a dozen more who refused to leave their property and animals behind. The weather has forced many planes in South America to remain grounded for a third straight day. Al Jazeera’s Craig Mauro reports from Puyehue.

To hugs, cheers and tears, rescuers using a missile-like escape capsule began pulling 33 men one by one to fresh air and freedom at last, 69 days after they were trapped in a collapsed mine a half-mile underground.

Gotta admit I got sick of hearing bout this, the media really milked this story, once I saw pics of them underground, smiling and they had food and water sent to them, I gathered the feeling they wud b ok. Now they’re like gonna make celebs and movies out of them?? lol. Ok I can understand how its a pretty incredible story, but come on! I bet they’ll give them each a statue in their country, in yrs to come lol.
