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 hope it's a FOX vs. CNN thing and not a Geraldo vs. no-name reporter thing.

It seems to be a Fox thing. It was obvious that all the people were heading straight for the Fox camera before Geraldo and Rick even turned around.

Being the last one left down there must be weird......scary.

That guy looks like he's looking for his family!

That would be what I was looking for too. But I probable bet I would of kissed Horaldo if he had stuck his head in that shaft and said hello first.

[kwyjibo]

Is the big fella the last one remaining?

Hats off to you my friend, your pictures really made this a Breaking News thread

FReepers are an incredible bunch of caring patriots. I seriously doubt there is a thread like this running over at DU.

God Bless America

Yep

Fox needs a spell checker for eighth.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Speculation is that maybe they were not in as much water as it appears when they come out soaking wet. Said that the nature of the drilling may have used water as part of the process.

But if they were in water the entire time, can you imagine the granny feet they must have?

youngest of minors, Blair mayhew, should be number 9

8th one waved as he came up!

Heck, I probably would have kissed Clinton....Naaahhhh!

At this time of night, I need one for my posts... :)

Almost as many churches as bars.

That's why I'm a Catholic. The priests always have some good Scotch or whiskey hidden away somewhere! It's quite a timesaver to confess your sin while committing it!

[mass55th]

They just corrected the spelling.

[woollyone]

pray for the big man...that God would fit his frame through the rescue shaft!

[DaughterofEve]

But I probably bet I would of kissed Horaldo if he had stuck his head in that shaft and said hello first.

You know, you're right. Please don't let him be the first one there if I get stuck somewhere. I'd hate for that to be on videotape!

[justshe]

Soot was sott, earlier.....lol

[Timesink]

I guarantee you its because of Fox(fair and balanced) and NOT Geraldo. How about that question just know about insurance problems? Boom, end of interview.

I didn't see that. Who and what did he ask?

[LowOiL]

These last ones are probable the tougher ones. (hard to think of any of them not being tough though). I imagine they were the ones that kelp the moral high down there.
