Today is Wednesday. The miners should be back to work by Monday. |

2. With all their overtime, they should be able to chalk up |
|
some serious vacation time. Also think of all the cash that they earned in addition to their vacation.

7. I think they'll have movie and book deals |
|
and won't need to work in a mine ever again. I can see the movie now. Just think of 33 men stuck in one room for 70 days - that in itself would be a movie.
