I hope they are just being overly cautious and taking all precautions before they start bring them up. Thats why it’s seeming to take so long. Imagine how long it seems to those men! Yikes that tube is so freaking small.

Well, that was a brave fellow who just got in that metal coffin and went down to meet the miners. I recall reading that he is a Chilean Navy special-forces paramedic.

President of Chile just made the Sign of the Cross.

Sending prayers. The more I have watched, the more chancey the whole thing seems.

He seems like a good man. Chile is the best managed and market oriented country in Latin America.

Got to love duct tape.

The crew of Apollo 13 improvised part of their life support system to make it back to earth alive.

Duct tape should be in every tool kit.
