I was thinking the same thing when I saw it.
Its 6AM CST and they are bringing the 9th miner up. Its going to a long night and day in Chile.

How crazy is that story, right? Spending more than a month under ground, being cut-off from the real world, and wondering if they know that you're alive? Crazy! thanks for the link princess!

tight spaces are horrible, i think i would have died down there!

its good they are finally getting them out

Met, you'd be surprised how big those mines are down there. I don't think I'd get claustrophobic, but rather, would start panicking at the feeling of being berried(sp? - my brain is tired) alive....

To think their government wouldn't let them have PSP's but Monopoly instead. Does that make any sense at all? I'd become extremely volatile if some ass sent me to jail then took my real estate, DO NOT PASS GO, COLLECT $100...

Well its been almost 24 hrs and they are going to be the 33rd miner and they still have to go back down five more times ( miner & doctor five in total ) so hopefully the whole there were in will be empty by the midnight.

I would be go nuts knowing my husband is in whole in the earth not knowing what will happen.

The miner that asked his wife and mistress to come is an idiot. Funny thing is wifey didn't show up!

But other than that I'm glad they are out of that mine.

 

[xprincess0312]

I agree with Delta how stupid are you to ask both of them to show up.

Its 9:27p.m and they got three more rescue workers to be be freed

YES! it is wonderful that they are all safe. It should not matter to us about their personal affairs, but I am sure it will be dragged through the mud. So now is the time I tune out from the news story.

 

[metbandit1]

It would have been strange being the last one. Down there in the mine all alone! Would feel a bit like the movie decent (I think that's the one lol)

 

[Felix]

Oooooooh that movie gives me the creeps! Very much so Met, It would be very very odd down there, especially if they lost power!

Something that through me about this today, I had the tellie on this morn before heading to work, and they were showing the rescue as it was happening, LIVE... apparently... I pop onto the CNN site (had to scrub myself with steel wool afterwards) and it turns out OUR broadcast (live) is about 30mins behind the CNN broadcast... so how frigging live is that, LIERS!

lol, looks like I'm going to have to put Descent on the list....

 

[Felix]

lol, looks like I'm going to have to put Descent on the list....

And the squeal... not brilliant movies, but I guess it's one of my few phobias!

So, still the number one news story, wonder how long that will keep going! Oh and who got a thanks? Australia! Who didn't? America
