Stuck In a Hole (in Chile)

This is pretty crazy.
3 weeks ago a mine collapesed in Chile, trapping 33 miners. THEY ARE STILL ALIVE. They are stuck in a 10m by 5m room. They lived this long rationing crackers and tuna and found water.
They spend their time playing cards and dominoes and planning their escape. The men have formed a democracy and have split into 3 teams: 1 in charge of contact with the surface, 1 in charge of security and safety, 1 in charge of health.
The stay in touch with families and officials above ground via items passed through a pipe 2,300 long. They just sent up a video of their cavern:

Here's the real kicker: They won't be able to get them out until around Christmas!
So SE++, what would you do if you were trapped for 4 months? What would you need to survive and maintaint your sanity? Who would you want to be trapped with? Who wouldnt you want to be trapped with?

and the 1 guy in charge of the Medical group got nominated in charge because he had the most experience: by caring for his diabetic mother. congrats! you're now the doctor.
yes, the pipe to the surface is big enough to slide canisters of food and bottles of water through
Hahaha. Grim situation, but that is kinda funny.

Four of a kind beats a full house.

I don't know how they are expected to survive for that long.
I assume they will sending them more than just tuna and crackers?

It never hurts to be prepared! With a fruit hat she wins either way.

It must be too terrible for words, all the little private moments we take for granted... gone
It's a fruit hat, so nutritious!
I was surprised those guys even lived at all, I hope they get out soon.
