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.

gov shaking his fist happpy last one is coming out, every one can not believe how every thing fell in place, especially how they drilled in the right places.
two in this hospital
Greg from hospital talking about one of the minors, quite alert, told him you know this has become a national event, and he said yeah I know.
couldnt really tell if he has any injuries, not being a doc can't really say.

Think #9 will be up before this thread hits 1000 posts?

What a great evening.

They must have... If it was me I would strip down to my underwear to fit if I had to.

Speaking of...

Were all of the miners wearing clean underwear? If so, then how did they go to the bathroom while trapped? Surely the reporters on the scene have asked the "tough questions" like this already.

Fair enough, we have different evaluations.

As to switching to CNN, maybe you missed it earlier, but after saying they would stay on air until the conclusion, FNC switched to a pre-taped Cavuto show. Then they were the last to come back on air when news broke that the drill had finished the hole, then again they were the last back on the air when word came that the men were still alive(FNC doing a story on Heidi Fleiss!). Then more technical problems and Geraldo doing some over the top schtick, while CNN was doing a pretty decent job with their reporter. FNC caught up as the evening went on, but at the critical moments they really dropped the ball.
