Ahhh cool!
I had lost all hope.

Way to go, they should go out get a beer and some hot steaming sex.

My question is this-  Why didnt the rescuers use scuba divers with extra air tanks to reach the miners?  The tunnel was not caved in, just flooded.  

I am very happy to hear that the miners are still alive.  I thought for sure that they had aphixiated.

I work in the mining industry and am a TDI certified cave diver. Not a good idea. Too late to explain for now.

WTG!!!!!!

Excellent news, this has been well covered in bullitens in the UK. I really thought there chances were limited. To get them all out is fantastic.

The wife and I got real involved watching this one. Excellent! I really liked the Governor of PA. too. Seems like a down to Earth guy. That probably explains why he's not running for re-election.
