Chilean Miner Visits Graceland |
|
 The Chilean miner who led Elvis sing-alongs for his colleagues while trapped underground for 69 days has recently visited Graceland, and was a special guest at Elvis’ birthday celebrations. “I can’t describe it,” Edison Pena said through an interpreter. “It’s something that makes an impact on me, visually. And being able to see it myself, is like, I feel in the clouds.” The story of the miners, known simply as “the 33” in Chile, transfixed much of the world during their 69-day ordeal about half a mile below ground. They have been popular on the American talk show circuit since their rescue in October and have been honoured by Chilean President Sebastian Pinera and on the “CNN Heroes” show. (Source: www.cnn.com)
