Why is it so easy to dog humanity, and condemn the species for all of its faults, including it's technology, and ignore the spectacular, technical phenomenon of the rescue of the Chilean miners?

For two and a half weeks, these guys were presumed buried and dead in the mine. Then, it was discovered that they were alive. An astounding crash program was devised by man, using equipment designed on the spot by man, and executed at great cost and sacrifice and speed, by man in order to rescue them.
All of those assholes who presume that mankind is greedy, insensitive and a blight upon the planet have seen evidence that they are wrong.
Do you think that they will step up and admit to their incorrect moral judgement of the species?
I suspect not.
But I wonder-how do they keep getting away with it?
Can they really continue their nihilistic view of their own existence in the face of this triumph?
