Ok, so there is survivable space is 5 1/2 feet...

However didn't they say there was 2 feet water in there, too?

If that's the case, the space is probably too small for them to stand and sitting would mean they were sitting in 2 feet of water if they were alive. That doesn't sound survivable to me.

God I hope they find these men alive.

1. Took me a minute to realize

you were talking about the mine disaster.

I don't know, I hope they survived. I do know Murray is a first class asshole.

2. Sorry, should have been more specific.

And yes, Murray is an asshole.
