Chilean Miners trapped “Beneath the Planet of the Apes”?

If you semi watch the news, then I’m sure you already know that we have some tough as nails Chilean miners trapped in a mine shaft for more than two months now. It’s almost unfathomable to know what they have been going through, yet these men among men who are accustomed to braving danger and the unknown persevere. With rescue efforts almost nearing the end and the rescue shaft almost complete, the extraction of the miners could begin within the next 24 hours. This is very exciting news. But instead of being embraced by rescue crews and emotional family members, I think it would be much more awesomer (correct my grammer, you get the backhand) if they were greeted by a horde of people dressed as the apes from the “Planet of the Apes” movie. Or even better, the creepy, hairy, blue, eye-glowing Morlocks from “The Time Machine”. That would be epic! "Ay dios mio!” “You Maniacs! Ahhh! damn you, God damn you all to hell!"

What? Too soon? C’mon, I think after being trapped for two months, they’d appreciate the humor.
