Sam Spade's San Francisco

Congratulations to the people and Government of Chile and to the Chilean mining industry. Congratulations also to the workers at San José Mine, the rescue team and the global team of mining and heavy rescue experts and mining engineers who came together for this one cause. They are doing a remarkable job. As this is being written five miners have been brought to the surface from 2,300-feet below.

This is a great example of what can be done when people come together globally under the banner of compassion. We can accomplish so much more with compassion than with aggression. 
.
When the Dalai Lama was asked about finding true happiness he said, "If you want to be happy, practice compassion." Then he added again, "If you want to be happy, practice compassion."
.
That is very good advice. Look how happy everyone is tonight!
.
Compassionate people can make real change in the world. I want to vote for the compassion ticket and let compassionate people run the world.

Wikipedia put together a very good page on the San José Mine near Copiapó, Chile. You will find just about everything you may want: the story timeline, charts, diagrams, maps, rescue technology details and a good set of links. They're updating it periodically.
