“Miner Victory”

http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2010-10-12-Chile-miners_N.htm

The 33 Chilean miners who were trapped underground for 69 days are being pulled to the surface one at a time in a 1-man-capsule lowered through more than 2000 feet of solid rock . Each nearly half-mile trip took 20 to 30 minutes. The success and speed of the operation has Californians begging for the I-405 freeway to be replaced by 1-person capsules.
