The world was touched by the Chilean miners rescue last week. After 10 weeks under the dark mine, the miners walked out from the mine and finally get to see their loved ones that they once thought they would never see again.
And just in one week time, the miners have decided to do something meaningful that would stop anyone from repeating the tragedy, that is to establish a foundation for better mine safety.
This is truly a meaningful idea, as the article finished with coal mine accidents around the world, it leads people to think critically, why when we are in the 21st century now, but accidents like this are still happening so frequently, people really need to do something about it. Putting this experience in use is truly good of the miners to do.
The article has a very strong angle, as the author mentioned that the miners are now heroes in Chile, and the fame can help them make a good fortune, but what the miners are doing is to put the experience into the world's good. What is more important than lives, when you were trapped underground and knowing that people out there are trying so hard to rescue your live, they never give up on you, this is the most precious of human spirit.
The article is very well-structured and with lots of information about the news of the miners, as readers are very curious about what they have been doing sice the rescue. Also, the article provided a video and related article links for readers to trace further about the incident. But the article can be improved by putting more pictures, as there is only one.
