SHAKHTY, Russia (CNN) -- All the 46 miners trapped for more than two days a half mile under Russia's Rostov region have been found alive and should soon be brought to the surface, a regional Russian official said.

Our miners were rescured when they were trapped. Now the Russian miners are rescured when they were trapped. God is listening. Our prayers have been answered.

Bump for good news on the weekend - especially for the families whom I'm sure didn't have much faith in the ability of the Russian govt to save their men.
