Showers of Offers for Chile Miners

The 2 month long torture of living underground is starting to show its upside for the Chileans now that they are back up top. Multiple companies including Apple, Sushi xx, Elvis Presley Enterprise and many others are donating their products or already have to the miners. Each family has been given a $10,000 check from Leonardo Farkas, the mining executive. They have also been invited to expense paid trips to Graceland, the Greek Islands, and a Chilean Futbol game. They also will have a book published of them in the near future and lawsuits as well.

I think that its great that the miners are getting recognized for their suffering, especially from the their mining executive. But i think it really nice of companines like Apple, and the Presley Enterprise to go out of their way in order to send their supplies down to the miners to give them something to do.
