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.

As a former underground coal miner, I'm really touched by the sentiments expressed during this rescue. Thanks to all. It is amazing what this country can do. I am so impressed with this governor and his leadership. But I'll save my celebration for until after the ninth has been brought up.

They said that the extras were for if anything goes wrong with the first 9. But I think they had the extra helicopters to transport family.
