Shep just said there would be a 30 second delay when each miner came out.

Is it empty or is one of the “rescue technicians” in it?
Anybody know?

I heard it said there would be a thirty second delay as the miners emerged. That is certainly appropriate, imo.

I believe it is empty.

Yeah it is. I had to look it up and found that the smallest quake Chile has ever had was a 6.2 in 2007

The largest quake ever recorded anywhere, a 9.6 happened a couple hundred miles from there in 1960.
I (very) vaguely remember the newspaper headlines...

Yeah, it sure looks like the cable guide wheel is moving faster. I would like to see the spool where the extra cable is spooled. It has to be fairly large in circumference and width to store all that cable, and I would also think there would be a cable brake.

Politicians are the same the world over, it seems.

Anderson cooper: “Are they going to send down the four rescue workers one at a time?

No, they have flown in four midget rescue worker who will go down in the capsule together! Nice question genius!
