Trapped miners given iPod to kill time
2 Australian miners who are trapped 3,000ft underground for the past 9 days have been given iPods to fill their time while waiting to be rescued. Of course, that is in addition to water, food, deodorant (they have to hug the rescuers later), magazines etc..
The iPods have been pre-loaded with the miners’ musical taste.
The iPods, programmed with country and western music for one man and hip-hop for the other, were passed to them down a 4in-wide plastic tube poked through a gap in the rock fall.
Eventhough it over a week underground, at least their still have their sense of humour intact.
