Here we go...

[TomasUSMC]

I think they are bringing it up now. First Rescuer shook hands with Chilean Prez, and is on the way down

[djf]

Yup! He’s the Prima vera rescotootie or something!

[condi2008]

Vaya con Dios, Mr. Rescuer

[Batman11]

“Looks like someone is going down this time.”

It takes a lot of courage to do what he is doing! God’s speed Mr. Gonzalez!

[buschbaby]

No audio here... did they send dummy oxygen tanks for the test? Is that why they are replacing them? Rescue guy looks ready to rock and roll. What an honor to be the first to go down.

Wow! I feel like I’m all in and now standing to see the river card.

[Red_Devil 232]

I read that the rescue medic is a member of the Chillean special forces.

[djf]

Good idea. You need someone who won’t panic. Wonder if they’ll give us live vid feed from inside the capsule?

[Bad~Rodeo]

This is getting intense.

[Red_Devil 232]

Hear we go!

[Eye of Unk]

This is really something, just tuned into FOX to watch this, its on Gretas show, gonna be a long 40 minutes one way.

I bet Obama will make an appearance on TV claiming it was his idea all along.

[djf]

Duct tape!
Duct tape comes to the rescue again!!!

[Raebie]

God, I can’t imagine what he must be thinking right now.

[Frantzie]

God bless him. I am losing confidence in this Chilean team running this operation.

[old_sage_says]

Going down.

[djf]

Hope none of the miners is standing underneath the hole...
this guys liable to pee his pants the first 100 feet!

(Or should I say meters just to stick with the way they do it?)

[TYVets]

Duct Tape?

I missed it, how did they use it ?

[TomasUSMC]

President of Chile just made the Sign of the Cross. Guess won’t see nothing like that from Obambi.

[Bad~Rodeo]

Whooeee, QUICK, What song would you be listening to on your IPOD on the way down
