BEACONSFIELD, Australia - Beer and other drinks flowed freely Tuesday as Beaconsfield celebrated the rescue of two miners entombed underground for two weeks.

But as Brant Webb and Todd Russell were reunited with their families and friends, doctors warned they may have suffered psychological trauma from their ordeal trapped 3,000 feet below the surface.

"Their physical condition is excellent," said Stephen Ayre, chief executive of Launceston General Hospital, where the men were treated. "We just need to be mindful of the psychological outcomes and monitor that through the family and through the supports that they have."

The mammoth effort to free Webb and Russell from the Beaconsfield Gold Mine transfixed Australia and transformed the pair into household names. The men, who survived some 320 hours in a cramped steel safety cage under tons of rocks, walked unaided from the mine before dawn Tuesday after rescuers completed a 52-foot escape shaft, hacking away the last few inches of rock with chisels.

To announce the rescue in the town in the southern state of Tasmania, sirens wailed and a church bell not used since the end of World War II rang out. Many miners celebrated with free beer.

After a few hours of medical checks, the men discharged themselves from the hospital, and Russell attended the funeral of Larry Knight, 44, a colleague killed in the April 25 rockfall. It was not immediately known if Webb was there.

Neither rescued miner gave any interviews Tuesday.

Later in the day, a slightly limping Russell went to his local pub for a bourbon and Coke.

He exchanged high-fives with friends and chatted with them before sitting down to talk to a television executive, who announced a telethon would be held to raise money for the 1,000-member community.

"There are no super heroes, there are just normal human beings and the way people react in these situations is utterly predictable. Nearly everyone will come out of a traumatic experience with an acute stress reaction."

"Enjoy life. There's plenty of time to be dead."
