Fox News Channel ^ | 7-27-2 | jp

[Petronski]

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.

[marajade]

Well they went back to Cavuto... What is their problem?

[John W]

AnchorBabe saying Robert Hager from the site reporting tapping sounds heard.Hasn't been confirmed.

[Keith in Iowa]

Who knows. thier weekend management crew leaves something to be desired...please pass the crow pie... :)

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Someone on msnbc is reporting possibly tapping sounds

Thats just Whorealdo tapping his foot

[knownot]

FOX News is a joke! They just broke away from the live story to the Cavuto tape. CNN was speaking to the on-scene spokesman. They've got this story all wrong.

[mystery-ak]

CNN...should only take 10min to get the phone down the 6in hole.....Pray!

[Joe Hadenuf]

Damn, can't imagine 3 days, let alone a week.

[crystalk]

what a rathole

[Joe Hadenuf]

Yeah, that's what we heard.....

[marajade]

How do they expect to compete when they do stuff like that? I pray those men are alive...

[prisoner6]

families heard first that they broke through.

I thought Governor Mark was pretty classy in making sure the families heard first ( as he promised) and then apologized to the rest of us for a dely in telling us. the dely was caused because he wanted to make sure the miners families were aware of the situation.

MSNBC is streaming live from the site, but only has a camera focused on the podium where the Governor spoke and an open mike. Can hear noise in the background and voices if anyone steps too close to it.

[RoseofTexas]

Perhaps the SM is more important than showing a LIVE rescue of miners. Bunch of BUMBLING IDIOTS! Fox should be whipped with a THOUSAND WET NOODLES!!

[Unknown Freeper]

Jdontom, you wrote this on the other thread...

They use BOP's(Blow out Preventers) they keep a constant pressure inside the hole thats being drilled. They can stack several on top of each other depending on what pressure they need to maintain. The piping or drill pipe is being worked inside a tight rubber seal, the seal dose not allow any air, oil, or gas to escape into the atmospher. Made by Haliburton...

How many of you knew this? Isn't this ironic.

Fox has gone back to regular programming. CNN has gone to "Capitol Gang" with promise to return as soon as new info become avaliable.

[OReilly]

Whatever. Fox spent the previous two hours on live coverage of the event - and more or less, nothing happened, then, in the hour they choose to go with scheduled programming - that's when stuff happens - tough call to make; but Fox is with it now - and I'm guessing they'll stay with it for a while now.

CNN is 24/7 and global while FoxNews is neither, but they pander to conservatives, so we have to face facts and be aware of reality.

[marajade]

Well CNN just broke away... I guess its MSNBC for me...

[RightWhale]

Radio news on the hour says the drill head has broken through, but will take some time to remove and they don't know if anyone is alive in there since the last sound was Thursday.

[Dales]

It's a weekend, and you can't predict when breaking news will break. CNN just switched to the Capitol Gang.

Fox guessed very poorly. CNN guessed better.

On election day, they reveresed fortunes on the guesses.

[don-o]

KDKA radio on newsbreak will go to talk, and cut in to TV for breaking. Hearing the TV newsbabes on radio, babbling minless inanity, ratifies my decision to kill my T V.
