is said to be ready to start bring the men out of the collapsed mine on Wednesday.
What a story - hoping they'll all be rescued and safely returned to their families http://news.sky.com/skynews/Article/201010115755210 |

My God - that's awful It's a good job those men aren't claustrophobic because of how long they'll be in that tunnel travelling back up. That could be just too much, but there's no other way

Yes, fantastic. That 2nd one out is certainly a character. I hope it continues to be as successful and everyone gets out safely.
You know, these Chileans, from the President and his wife and the mining company to the rescue teams and even the relatives and friends waiting at the site, have shown the world true humanity, and how working together gets things done. I think the whole world should commend them all, they're brilliant. |

I agree Sand dancer. It brought a lump to my throat this morning whilst watching it. My mum was crying whilst watching it when I went to hers. It's so emotional. I've just put sky news on for a catch up. So hope they all get out safely.

There's some very brave people involved in the effort, Les. The sort of people who make you proud to be human

There's no doubt science is good, IM - we'd be in a mess without all the studies. What's so wonderful too is the different countries coming together to help.
