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.

I would like to take this opportunity to ask all FREEPERS to please email Foxnews and ask that Jerraldo be removed to a nice quiet 9th world country where he can continue his incompetent float to the bottom....

Continued prayers for them and their families. There is still a lot of work to be done.

Lord- Bring them safely home.

Probably not. I don't think many people outside of the coal region watched any of this.

But he would now whip Rendell in Nov. if he was running. Unfortunately he is not.

Excellent point.. they don't need the Secret service, all the collateral around GW. He didn't have much of that around him when he was at the 9/11 ground zero, tho.

Well, if he did then at least he hasn't been wearing it on his sleeve. Being an atheist, I do get frustrated when, in situations like this, people keep thanking God, when it's the humans who did all the work.

I am very impressed with all that the humans did (& were able to do because of preparation & know-how) to save these miners!

Beg to differ - my husband has been watching the story from Korea and I'm watching in Hawaii. We lived in Central Virginia 6 years - had patients brought to U.Va. from mining country quite frequently - especially burns and spinal cord injuries. Tough, good people.
