The inquiry into the Chile mine collapse that trapped 33 men for more than two months has ended with no charges filed, drawing angry responses from the rescued men.

THE first three rescued Chilean miners out of the hospital celebrated their new lives as national heroes yesterday, as word emerged that the 33 want to closely guard their story so they can fairly divide the spoils of their overnight media stardom.

Three of the 33 rescued Chilean miners were celebrating at home today after being released from hospital with a clean bill of health.

ONE is a great-grandfather four times over, another a 19-year-old father.
