Chilean miners rescue stalled

[Ben Collet]

According to an article from the Associated Press today, the effort to rescue the trapped Chilean miners was stalled last week when, "a drill struck an iron support beam for a mine shaft at 900 feet, destroying a drill bit."

 

Maybe they should have used a drill bit made from 3/8 inch thick aluminum alloy, after all that is the material that supposedly sliced right through the steel beams of the World Trade Center with no trouble whatsoever when it was on the wings of flights 11 and 175!
