Trapped Chilean miners argue over who's out last

None

After more than two months trapped deep in a Chilean mine, 33 miners were so giddy with confidence, officials said Sunday, they were arguing over who would be the last to take a twisting 20-minute ride to daylight and the embrace of those they love.

 

Officials have drawn up a tentative list of the order in which the 33 miners should be rescued, and Health Minister Jaime Manalich said the otherwise cooperative miners were squabbling about it - so sure of the exit plan that they are asking to let their comrades be first to reach the surface, probably on Wednesday.
