There's no reason that both couldn't have happened. The guys in charge of the mine and the company itself are hardly necessary when it comes to a rescue operation. And I daresay that any country in Europe or North America would react similarly to how th Chileans did were this to happen there.shran wrote:If this would have happened in Europe or in the US the upper echelons of the mining company would have been completely gutted because teh accident could happen. But here it was used to rally the country together as a common goal, or it was at least depicted as such.
An interesting observation.
