They mustve got the call from 'Evoting'

poor bastards - i dearly hope that they are well looked after and their families for the rest of their lives. i cant even begin to imagine what it feels like being trapped nearly a kilometre underground. and to be trapped for WEEKS down there. here's hoping they dont ever need to work for another day in their lives.

if ever there was a need for a "bail out" , its these folks. and i would be utterly happy with paying tax for it.

Jesus christ man, they have 20 football pitches to run around down there.

They're miners, they are used to being a mile underground.

I hope they're rescued but lets not get carried away.

Some amazing shots of the moon on BBC . Its all a bit 'close encounters of the third kind' . Incredible .

They sure will be 'Chile Miners' when they come up, I believe it is damn freezing there.

I hope all goes well and each and everyone comes up safely.

Just struck me as a shiver went through me, not sure whether its because I am watching it or because the heating went off couple of hours ago !!

You should get yourself an agent . Beware , I hear gurriers from rte's 'the panel'
trawl sites like these for material to steal . All so that Craig Doyle can spend licence payers money on bad shirts and god knows what else but I digress .

Vamos Chile .

Apparently its 30 degrees where they are, it being very deep, however they will probably be chilly miners when they emerge with the contrast, it being the Atacama and all.

Rescue mission is about to begin, brave man going down there!!

El Presidente is fairly milking this, Whats the chances of Arigna or Castlecomer opening before the GE??

 

[The Field Marshal]

The first man has gone down and met the miners.
Everything ok so far.

Is nobody watching this?
The live link showed the capsule entering the dungeon.
Scenes of jubilation among the trapped men.

Better than any bloody moon landing.
