11. Thank you! If I had missed the live rescue of that 33rd miner, I'd have been furious.

:hug:

15. Is there any continuous cable TV coverage?

My mom's pc just froze and she is furious that TV cut to regular broadcasting.

18. CNN International

or BBC international

9. UNIVISION still live

for those fluent in Spanish. Way out in front of CNN, MSNBC and other English-language channels.

7. Yes it is good, the plan and the gear worked

Bravo engineers, paramedics, doctors and rescue workers. Also bravo for the miners themselves.

12. Did you see that Spanish footballer David Villa

sent two signed Barcelona jerseys for the miners.

His father and grandfather were miners

13. No, but talk of class solidarity

Nobody gets it here though.

[blondeatlast]

8. Yay, us! (Humans, that is).

I love being happy to be a human every once in a while!

[malaise]

17. Absolutely

#31 Pedro Cortez has been rescued.

BBC has some great interviews including a rough one with the President of Chile.

10. It has been quite the rescue effort

:thumbsup:

[malaise]

24. And here comes $33 the leader Luis Urzua

This is remarkable. Truly wonderful - Bravo Chile, Bravo rescue workers from across the globe. Bravo miners - Bravo families and friends.

33 rescued in 22 hours. Unfuggingbelievable - the greatest feel good story in decades.

I hope they have a funeral for neoliberalism and shut the mine permanently.

[Scurrilous]

14. K & R

:thumbsup:

16. 2 more to go! Then five rescuers. Unreal!

[EFerrari]

19. Just reading about this story makes me phobic.

:kick:

22. #32 Ariel Ticona

has been rescued. His wife is in tears. She had the baby while he was in the mine.
Luis Urzua is next.

23. Just for you

Chile's Mining Minister Laurence Golborne, center, speaks to reporters as rescue chief Andre Sougarrete, left, and Chilean Senator Isabel Allende looks on at the San Jose mine near Copiapo, Chile, Monday Oct. 11, 2010. Golborne called the test of the rescue capsule nearly all the way down to where 33 miners are trapped a success on Monday. The miners became trapped when the mine collapsed on Aug. 5.

26. Thank you, my dear. Don't they look so good?

:grouphug:

20. Yeah, what allows this is that they found out that they could safely double the speed at which they

tranport the rescule capsule.

So, a trip to the surface takes just 8 or 9 minutes, instead of 15 minutes.

Furthermore, they got really efficient at prepping the capsule quickly between rescue trips.

[malaise]

21. All those tests were worth it

I'm trying to remember the last time I saw anything like this solidarity for the working class. I hope it spreads beyond this moment.
Workers of the world unite.

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. That is the practice effect

:-)
