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.

Firefighters test the rescue capsule that will be lowered into the shaft being drilled to the trapped miners, early on July 27, 2002. Rescue workers bored through rock and earth in a frantic attempt to reach nine Pennsylvania coal miners who have been trapped in a flooded mine shaft for over 48 hours. With time running out and rescue efforts already delayed 18 hours by a broken drill bit, emergency crews laboring to extend rescue shafts to the stranded men were within 100 feet (30 meters) of their intended target.

Yes, most of mine have absolutely gone mad over it. It is nice to be able to keep them in such good shape while we remain on the couch!
