Rescue in Chile

They knew the drill
A small Berlin, Pa., company took particular pride in the Chile miners' rescue on Wednesday.
The 2,000-foot rescue hole was bored by a drill made by Center Rock Inc. of Berlin, Pa., where workers paused occasionally in their daily routines to follow computer news feeds. Lunch was brought in to help them celebrate.
