First Chilean miner rescued

[Rolfe]

I'm getting tired of the flowery verbiage that the reporters feel that they need to come up with. A little while ago I heard someone say "Logic said they shouldn't survive." Blech! Where's the barfing smiley?

I'm just watching the pictures on my PC, in a separate window. I have no idea what they're saying. BBC News 24 has enough captions anyway.

Rolfe.

30!

31 now!!!

I'm already crying, but I think 32 is going to be the most emotional for me to watch. Up next is the father of the baby born in September.

I've been out of touch all day. Can I assume that they have not encountered any problems?

Didn't they initially estimate a 48 hour period to free the miners?

 

[Rolfe]

32 is out! I am so happy!

Rolfe.

Clockwork should be so smooth!

They've been managing a turnround of 27 minutes, latterly. It's awesome.

Thanks Rolfe. I'm watching the live feed, and catching up on posts.

Awesome indeed!

Then 2 rescue workers... is that correct?

 

[paperskater]

I need more Kleenex, there is an awful lot of dust in here.

6 I think.

There was a lot of dust in my car today. I could hardly see to drive.

 

[AdMan]

6 I think.

CNN says five, unless I misheard.

In any case, it's been an amazing 23 hours so far.

 

[steve s]

33!

 

[Checkmite]

Woot!!!!!

 

[Emet]

They're singing. Someone pass me the box of Kleenex, please.

 

[AdMan]

33!

Can we change the title of the thread to "All Chilean miners rescued"?

 

[paperskater]

They're singing. Someone pass me the box of Kleenex, please.

Sorry, I think I used them all.

 

[Emet]

Okay, thanks anyways.
