Everyone out of the mine in Chile

'"I hope this will never happen again," said the last man out of the gold and copper mine, shift foreman Luis Urzua, upon reaching the surface, as he was embraced by Chilean President Sebastian Pinera. "I'm proud of being Chilean."' http://bit.ly/bpGaWr
As a onetime seafaring man, I am proud of the tradition of the captain being the last to leave a sinking ship. Shift foremen that go down in mines are kin to captains that go down to the sea in ships.
