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.

CNN piggyback's coverage on KDKA-TV2, Pittsburgh.

Voices heard.

CNN says "nothing more substatial."

AP FLASH

Rescue workers HAVE MADE CONTACT with miners by way of a telephone dropped down through a pipe.

Hey man!

Tryin' to catch up, but everything is happening so fast! Like I said, I hoped I was wrong, and it appears as though I was (Hooray!).

Guess I should go flip on the tube now (much as I hate to) and follow the saga for myself.

Damn, this sounds like good news for once!

Thank God!!!

Indeed. I just pray that the report isn't premature. I'm on pins and needles. I won't be happy until all 9 are bought to the surface safe and sound.

Jeff Flock on CNN seems to be getting the most current info - he's talking to folks; shoving his mike into faces...

Betsy Mallison, PA state official, about to convey obviously WONDERFUL news to the Governor, after which he will brief us all.

Thank you God.

Perhaps Roger needs a Freep to tell his producers to get with the program.
