Watch and pray. The rescuers are optimistic that they will reach the cavity where the miners are located by midnight, perhaps as soon as 10pm et.

They just reported that several PA miners were caught in a similar situation thirty years ago AND WERE RESCUED ALIVE AFTER A WEEK IN THE HOLE.

what is KDKA radio frequency?

1020, and it's a 50,000 watt blowtorch.

Enjoy what has been my secret vice for 30 years now. :)

Does anyone have any data on how long others have survived in similar, tragic mining events?

Here's hoping Geraldo has a more successful outcome to report than he did with his Al Capone vault.

I never trusted anybody that changed their name, trying to alter their ethnicity and appear to be what they are not.

Its not Geraldo's fault that FNC has decided to go with their special instead of live coverage... That decision is made higher up than Geraldo...

"What's happened to them is on the heads of every vile anti-nuclear power greenbag."

You said it Don; the same thought has been going through my head also. Anyone who is against nuclear power and the proposed ANWAR borings had better take a long hard look at this and ask themselves whether or not risking the lives of our fellow Americans is worth it.

Anyone who answers yes to this is below contempt, and they should be made to serve just one day in these mines....

The rescue attempt has transfixed the region, a hilly, rural area long dependent on coal and one that suffered tragedy during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The 40 passengers and crew on Flight 93 died when it was taken over by hijackers and crashed near Shanksville, about 10 miles from the mine.

Yep, it's painful to think.

If you want a real writer's paradise, try Potter County, PA: Last week saw the arrest of the heads of Adelphia Cable, located in Potter County since founding in 1952, and recently pouring the funds into tiny Coudersport, transforming that community into a respectable...BREAKING, Adelphia is bankrupt and indicted, everyone can go collect relief now.

Meanwhile, upon being kicked out of Idaho after losing a major lawsuit to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the stinking bastards at Aryan Nation have decided to relocate--where? Well, you guessed it. Potter County, PA.

Now that is a 20 month fall from the stratosphere to the sh!thouse.
