kinda funny to watch a citified sort when they have their first exposure to a real industry ...

LOL

Consolidated limestone is really hard -- it's what the walls of the Pentagon are made of, as I recall after the 9/11 attacks. Problems may come near surface soils and as they break out of the shaft into the opening -- probable have small pieces come down hole -- hard hats are most important piece of safety equipment at this point.

I guess that's what happens when you get a higher profile celebrity reporter to try and take over a story ... FNC should of have stayed with Rick Leventhal and sent Geraldo back to the middle east...

I am so impressed with the Gov, owner, all the mining people helping to get these men out. All sound level-headed, and know their business. Isn't it great to have a calamity like this turn out right and good, with polite reporter (CNN!!!) and good people?

[Unknown Freeper]

You could appeal to the Admin Moderator to have it put back.

RE: PA MINERS

Get on Marine One on Sunday and go to Sommerset to see these miners and also the brave souls that rescued them. And while in Somerset, visit the site where Flight 93 crashed. The people of this area have gone through a lot this past year, and could use your help and healing words. This region needs a visit from you - today! These are the the coal miners and good, working folk that voted for you in 2000 - and they are great Americans.

Hope to see you here in a few hours.

I'd have paid good money to watch Horrendo Revolver find penne pasta in coal country ;)

[Minnesota Lady]

Great post! GW should hire you!

[Petronski]

Pulling this thread from breaking news is, well, quite a narrow/foolish judgment.

[Unknown Freeper]

He should invite them to the White House.

This thread has been pulled from Breaking News? Is that true? That's freaking pathetic!

is this true ??

if so, it's a bullshit call, IM/HO

[Diddle E. Squat]

OMGoodness, even CNN is making fun of Geraldo. Said he just kissed on of the rescue spokeswoman.

Fire that idiot.

[mickie]

Someone said (aired on CNN)....."God was the tenth man down".
Praise God, our prayers were heard.

[marajade]

Maybe CNN is reading this thread...

Agreed entirely. Great coverage - giving me goosebumps to watch. The folk there really seem neat. We spent a very long weekend there (in Somerset) once when our car broke down on the turnpike. It was a nice town, good people.

It's true. . But who cares? It was great to be with y'all for the good thing that happened tonight.

Goodnight all.

[tomkat]

as good as the news is that they're still alive,
there are at least two or three hours to go until it's known whether it's gonna actually end happily ...

[PhiKapMom]

I heard that about God being the 10th person! This is such refreshing coverage!

[Spyder]

Hopefully they'll have some out by the time it's my bedtime (3 hours behind California this time of year).
