Amazing. They've got three out now. Their families must be so relieved. As bad as the world's problems are, it's amazing what lengths good people are willing to go to to save lives.

To be fair... Geraldo's been out there in Somalia with bullets flying around his head recently... He seems to have made a recovery now...
