2. It must be getting boring down there with so many of the guys gone.

But at least it's more spacious. :D

4. That's sick.

I used to be a cave tour guide and I'm someone who is a bit phobic about being underground. I could hardly wait until my 45 minute tour was up so I could go above ground for fifteen minutes, look at the sun and then go down again for the next tour. Those fifteen minutes between kept me sane. I can't imagine what those men have been through especially in those first days when for all intents and purposes they were looking at their tomb.

5. Didn't a couple medical people go down?

That would mean more than 17 are still down. At any rate.....hoping for all to come out safely!

6. Yes, paramedics went down

The thread title referred only to the miners themselves.
