So the first miner should be rescued here pretty "soon". Should be a crazy scene when they do. Glad the USA company was able to go down and help.

It's live on cnn.com right now. They have cameras up.

Thanks for the heads up.

Interesting approach, the first guys up will be the fittist, in case there is some problem. Then they'll bring up the 10 or so weakest, or with the most medical issues.

An impressive example of coordinated spirit.

Didn't the mining company go out of business? If so, I doubt it, ouch.

I bet Jerry brings him to a game in Arlington.

I wouldn't put it past him.

You're right.

He'll need a way to fill all those spendy seats if this team doesn't get it turned around.

This is a great story. The best part about it is they say the miners are in great spirits.

There is alot of emotion seeing these guys come out. Nothing in history has been done like this.

And, a Texas driller came up with the plan on how to do the job, NASA was involved in making the rescue craft, and those sunglasses that they are wearing were donated by the company that makes them ($180.00 each).

They ate one cup of milk (or maybe water) and two teaspoons of tuna fish every 48 hours while they were down there.

Right now 25 are out, with just 8 more to go, plus the 5 rescue personnel down with them.

Truely amazing, and very inspirational. But, they have a long road ahead to recover mentally and physically.

I could not have survived something like that...

Yeah, I get goose bumps everytime one comes out...26 now out.

This makes football kinda of irrelevant at the moment...
