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.

It sounds to me like many on this thread are pro-life, and still view men as human beings.

I've been following this thread, but I am going to have to turn in now. I pray when I wake up the good news that these miners are alive is confirmed and maybe we have a couple of them up and out of there!

SOMERSET, Pa. (Reuters) - All nine miners trapped for three days in a flooded Pennsylvania coal mine are still alive, a family member of one of the trapped men said on Saturday.

I am enjoying watching Jeff Flock. He was so genuinely happy when he got the news that the miners were alive. Seems like a really nice guy.

I think we all did, but only because we care ;)

Fortunately the Gov. of PA has a cooler head and did the right thing.
