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.

if you do not mind me asking where actually are you? I am in Clearfield?

[Petronski]

May I ask you why it is he isn't running for Gov?

I think he was a reluctant Lieutenant-gubernatorial candidate, and he was of no mind to compound ... CNN guy thinks--in a rush of humanity on the scene--that they might have punched through. AP BREAKING FLASH They are through!

[Joe Hadenuf]

Hearing less than six feet to go.

Good luck to all involved.

I am originaly from Emporium

That's too bad because he seems like he's completely genuine and that it extremely rare in politics today... With 9/11 and now this he sure has had some experience at governing... Maybe he'll decide to run in four years from now if a Dem wins? Or it would be great to see Specter decide to retire... It seems he really cares about the people of his state...

[mystery-ak]

CNN has better coverage....God forgive me!

[Joe Hadenuf]

FOX reporting break through too

[OReilly]

Fox confirming AP report that they are through...

[fatima]

Just put CNN on,they have good coverage,Dear God let them be alive.

[ClimoMike]

They are through. 10:29 et
Good! Now hopefully they can get the communication stuff down

[marajade]

FNC is completely blowing this one just like the night the USSC came down with its opinion... What is it with them... Its like they want us to watch CNN...

[don-o]

I am trying to tune into KDKA radio now. Thanks for the updates and keep 'em coming.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

To be honest, I don't know exactly why he choose not to run for Governor (he ascended to the office when Tom Ridge left to color code our Homeland Security). I vaguely recall something about his family commitments (I think his children are young in age)...but I really don't clearly recall.

I have been going back and forth from the TV to FR...earlier tonight Gov. Schweiker was being interviewed by Geraldo...the Gov. was explaining the best case rescue scenario and Gerry interrupted him with something (to the affect) "yeah, I'll buy that" and Schweiker just stopped and looked at him as if to say 'you a$$hole.'

Low-budget Fox is probably getting its news from CNN!
