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."

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!

Don't know your source or if you are reporting live.... but thanks for reporting AHEAD of the snooze!
To: bootless
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.
