Miners Rescue Mission [BREAKING Update- 11:11 PM EDT- Foxnews says "Nine For Nine" Yee Ha!]
Fox News Channel ^ | 7-27-2 | jp

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.

Everybody I've talked to has been praying since day one. We need to continue to pray! Praise God for His goodness! Let's pray that now the next part of the operation goes smoothly and they are all brought up safely without incident!

And don't forget the HARD WORK OF THE RESCUERS. Faith without works is nothing.

Stupid reporter's question -- "What was the most disappointing time? The drill bit breaking?"

You have too remember reporter's are as dumb as our house and senate. The older you get the more you understand these people do not get it. We look at them for help but they do not have a clue!!!

God Bless John Weir, owner of the mining company, who appeared with the Governor and thanked God. That man has suffered enough pain through false guilt to make him the tenth victim in all this.

I detest Geraldo. CNN's reporter stayed there the whole time while this was going on while Geraldo took off for parts unknown. Now Geraldo rushes in -- I am less than impressed!

Everyone praised the coverage on CNN so much...that for the first time in almost 3 years.....I turned on CNN.

I see what you mean......this reporter on CNN is extremely sincere. Something you just don't see on CNN. And he is emotional.....and even...gasp....saying 'God' type words. Bet he's going to be in trouble with his bosses tomorrow.

I thought I heard someone report that that was his only mine... His company is definitely going to need some financial help now... Nice to see a company who is more concerned about their employees rather than their balance sheet...

No one is forgetting them. I'm talking about the fact that those guys are still alive, that is the miracle and prayers helped all involved.

Yes, this wasn't a miracle, it was a well-orchestrated operation of highly qualified men. As the saying goes... God moves mountains, but you better bring a shovel.
