I don't think tentacle demons exude hydraulic fluid.

Of course not, they exude unknown substances.

[Virex]

Incidentally, how is enough oxygen to support 33 men and whatever engines they're using for power diffusing down through a hole that small/long?

Trough an 8 cm hole with a length of 670 meters you're not getting much in the way of diffusion. Now there may just be a large amount available in the mine already (they have at least 2 km of tunnel system at their disposal), the bedrock is porous enough to support sufficient diffusion or there are other holes trough which oxygen can come. Probably a combination of those things. Luckily, if air gets stale, it's quite easy to pump down air, though they'll need a strong set of pumps on the surface for that.

Of course not, they exude unknown substances.

I think the substances they exude are pretty well known.

Well, to any teenage boy anyway.

[Jackrabbit]

Sweat, oil and shyness around the opposite sex?

[forsaken1111]

And various types and colors of filth.

Chile's answer to improve the miners' morale? Let them watch soccer.

Luckily, since the miners are Chilean, that actually worked pretty well.

[Jackrabbit]

Hey, that's nice. I hope they're holding up down there. If they haven't gone insane yet, they are hardy as hell.

Or maybe I'm just a pussy. Either way.

Was I the only one who thought 'Why don't they just pass down a few tons of girders, and then attempt to dig them out?'

[Criptfeind]

Tiny hole. Also very hard to work with rock.

[Tack]

It's eight centimeters, they could pass down a blowtorch, a rivet gun. Hell, you could feed a power cord through that space. You could even fit pony bottles in that.

[Nikov]

Why you could even fit a ten centimeter rock auger down. Then a twelve centimeter rock auger. Then a fourteen...

[Tack]

Nikov knows where it's at.

Until it's big enough to fit a slightly emaciated hooker.
Amirite?

[Nikov]

If by hooker you mean rescue harness rigger, yes!

[Jackrabbit]

Don't be crude, Nikov.

[Tack]

Yeah. We don't use the 'R' word around here, you racist pig.
