Best of luck to Chile, by Coach on Oct 12, 2010 23:50:43 GMT 1, Best of luck to the people of Chile and the minors in particular. Hopefully the first one will be out in a couple of hours.
My thoughts are with them and their families.

Best of luck to Chile, by wizzy on Oct 13, 2010 11:47:06 GMT 1, I watched some of this last night, they are incredibly brave, the rescue cage gave me claustrophobia just looking at it. Great job and hope all the miners can get back to normal life soon enough.

Best of luck to Chile, by stillborncrisps on Oct 13, 2010 11:53:43 GMT 1, Tthe rescue cage gave me claustrophobia just looking at it.
I've been in an MRI scan machine which must be similar dimensions, and yeah, it aint much fun, even tho I kept my eyes closed the whole time.
Luckily in this crazy modern age they'll probably be able to get a film deal out of it, and the lot of them never have to work again.

Best of luck to Chile, by Coach on Oct 13, 2010 18:50:35 GMT 1, Last time I looked, 17 out, 16 to go.
Fabulous news so far.
Like you Wiz, felt claustrophobic looking at that capsule - and they've got a hour in it!
Did wnder how they chose order of ascent - though do know they put most vulnurable first.
A few days ago I saw this on the bbc website - the second page shows a 3d image of where the minors were trapped. Puts the scale of the task into perspective.

I must admit to being quite emotional when I saw the first minor come out.

Best of luck to Chile, by laced on Oct 14, 2010 3:15:51 GMT 1, Anyone else find the coverage a bit boring?, they could have jazzed it up big brother style with the miners being voted out one by one.... day 69 in the big brother mine...
Also, just heard that one of them forgot to clock in at the start of his shift back in August... doh!

Cant imagin what it must have been like for the last one to come out, on his own down there for the last hour.
Thrilled they all came up safely.
