Thirty-one of the 33 miners saved last year in a dramatic operation after 69 days trapped in a Chilean mine presented a lawsuit against the government for negligence.In the lawsuit, the miners say, is not about the money, but about setting a precedent so that such an accident does not happen again. Each of the miners requested $540,000 in compensation.The miners allege that the National Geology and Mines Bureau had failed to carry out proper inspections of the mine's safety and working conditions."We want what we went through at the bottom of that mine to be recognized. We are here to say that the 31 of us wish that all our suffering, and the suffering of our families, is recognized," miner Luis Urzua told reporters.Since the rescue, many of the brave miners have found fame and fortune, others have been to Disneyland, Graceland - but none of them have forgotten the life threatening experience they all face together.
