This one reason to have celebration. The world is rejoicing for them. Some people were very confused, however, thinking that the Texas flag was being flown at the recovery. The Chilean flag, however, is comparable to the Texas flag.

I knew there had to be an Irish "bit" to the story. Let's get the word out. And let's not forget Bernardo O'Higgins who had a role in freeing Chile' from Spanish rule and became known "The Liberator of Chile." He was the son of an Irishman for Sligo.

I heard the President of Chile's press conference, where he thanked the US,UK, Australia, and Canada, but I heard no mention of Ireland, So if in fact this Drill Bit was manufactured in Ireland then it's well kept secret..
