SAN JOSE MINE, Chile – A drilling rig punched through to the underground purgatory where 33 miners have been trapped for 66 agonizing days under the Chilean desert, raising cheers, tears and hopes on Saturday.
Champagne sprayed and hard hats tumbled off heads as rescue workers pressed close to the drill, hugging each other and shouting for joy. Down in "Camp Hope," where the miners' relatives waited, people waved flags and cried as one man energetically rang a brass bell even before the siren sounded confirming the escape shaft had reached the miners.

And Harry and Nancy.
LOL, watch your back now the FBI might be knocking on your door step.
The drilling manager is an American. Great job. Prayers to watch over the miners as they are pulled out of the mine.
I’ll bet the guy with the wife and girlfriend is the last one out... “No, you go ahead”...”No, you go ahead”...”No, you go ahead”...
He is undoubtedly loved by his families!
My first news story that I was concerned with was about a baby in a well in Texas. The newspaper published the circumference on the front page as a round circle.
Thank God for their lives.
Big lesson for America Democrats
in California, 230,000 public workers are really a total budget waste,it would take them (Democrats in California) 5 months to discuss about safety procedures, 4 months to pass the regulations, 3 months for Caltrain engineers to “design” a drill bit, 2 months to contract out to ... Arizona to make a drill bit, and 1 month to move 33 bodies out of the mine. I mean the death bodies
Vote all Democrats out in November 2010, and get rid of the inexperienced Obama 2012
That does make for a pretty good work memory.
I see the US was there helping....hmmm... if America is so evil why are we the world police and rescuers? Funny..I didnt see any muslim nations flag there helping the miners.
Well it is also expertise. I think they were Texans or at least from the SW USA. Drill through rock and get there to save them in time - “no problem.”
When BP eff up the well and it needed to cap it and fix it - they called an American expert. The guy is a wizard. These mining and oil drilling guys and gals in the US know their stuff.
Who knows, it could be a very cozy homecoming!
You’d be surprised what countries are held in high regard in the hard rock mining department. USA is down the list. The South Africans, Australians, and Canadians are world class miners and mining engineers.
A driller from New South Wales can run rings around a texas driller.
Girlfriend will shrink into an alley...The whole thing will make wife the winner...

The empty chamber might be a good place to incarderate some of our banksters.
“I’ll bet the guy with the wife and girlfriend is the last one out...”
Hell, I bet they’ll have a threesome.
Maybe he only has an alimony payment and a mistress now.
