Miner Mario Gomez praying on his knees. Stupid CNN newsbabe remarks “Looks like he is sitting down, We haven’t seen that.”

These fools don’t even realize how far out of touch with reality they are.

Number 9 got down on his knees for prayer when he got out. Now we learn they were given Bibles to pass the time. Amazing.

Mario looking good. He's supposed to be the most physically worrisome, so the whole thing is looking good.

Chi-Chi-Chi, Le-Le-le

And yet another thanks his God with me for his life!

Ping to #624 and #623. This is why we didn’t switch to CNN.

... but you gotta pray that there are lots of us watching who know that, and praise God for this guy's public witness. One right after the other, all night long, and we'll be seeing more as they tell their stories. God will use this to His glory, in spite of CNN and MSNBC.

Mrs. U's going to wake up in half an hour, and want to know why I've been up all night. I'll just show her the next one up...

I apologise in advance for just getting here.

But is anyone else outraged with the medical people who are all wringing their hands about panic attacks and freaking out and on and on like these MEN aren’t miners who are used to small places and risk.

They act like a damned much of wailing mummies. I mean, for crying out loud.

And CNN is going nuts over praying like they are in shock that anyone would thank God for living thru this.

Wow, Dolly, hi! Yep, I'm still staying up all night for the good stuff, and Mrs. U. still hasn't learned that I fell in love with that fox out in California with the horses :-).

How ya doin'?

Hanging in here. Lost my mom over the weekend. She lived a long life but there will still be a lot of adjustment here for a lot of reasons

I recall that you & AFPhys usually kept the midnight shift & exchanged a lot of good info on that ongoing set of threads.

I was so new to so many things I tried to just learn along the way.

Fell in love with politics & FRee Republics fabulous opportunities for education & friendship

They have a LOT of time to fill and will / cannot have ANY silence. So you get a lot of inane babbling. It’s SOP.

agree

One man had the guts to say. Well we don’t know. This obviously is not a documented regular occurrence event that we have a lot of info on.

Oh, then you missed it. One of the dimwits commented that miners have relied on their faith while down there but will now have to face the real world.

Like they haven’t looked reality square in the eyes every day for 69 long days.

Fox went to reruns at 2AM, so I've been watching CNN and MSNBC all night. They've scoured the world to find "experts" to give the most negative reports possible. It's been clear since 2:01AM that both of them have been praying for a cave-in to kill all the miners, or, failing that, that they'd all fall out of the capsule puking but praising Obama and blaming Bush for the earthquake that trapped them.

These folks are sick, sick, sick...

Downhole video -- they're loading up Alex Vega Salazar now, he'll be heading for daylight in a few minutes. Audio shows spirits down there are still great and improving -- clapping and cheering every time someone starts up in the capsule.

Bow and pray thanks with his kin and those who love him.

The media don’t want good things to happen, they want disaster.
They make their living scaring people and getting their adrenalin rushing. They love blood and death and gore, murders and mayhem.

They are a festering sore on mankind, with puss oozing out...

FYI — FOX live feed via the web: No commentary, which is not much of a disadvantage this late-night, IMHO (4:30am Cali-Time).

I think ‘no commentary’ is one of the reasons this night has been so enjoyable for me.
