Are you watching?

I'm not worried, that rig was designed by a NASA engineer, and tested well. It'll work fine.

classicman · 10-12-2010, 10:06 PM

I'll watch the first one up & then I'll see the last as well if my schedule permits. Pretty cool though.

classicman · 10-12-2010, 10:12 PM

He's up He's up He's up He's up He's up He's up He's up

monster · 10-12-2010, 10:16 PM

I'm not worried either. I just think it's great.

monster · 10-12-2010, 10:47 PM

it's funny listening to the BBC reporters. I'd forgotten how much more casual and risque they are. And they say things funny

xoxoxoBruce · 10-12-2010, 10:47 PM

I'm wondering what will happen to the miner who's wife, and mistress, both showed up, when the accident happened.

monster · 10-12-2010, 10:57 PM

well, yeah, there is that aspect too....

who needs soap operas?

although no question as to who needs soap....

xoxoxoBruce · 10-12-2010, 11:38 PM

It will be all soap operas for awhile. Interviews, articles, the dirt on who was cool vs who was a dick, underground, the Weekly World News reporting Bat Boy saved them from certain death, and a couple of ghost written books. Wonder which ones will be on Oprah?

After he comes up they are going to put him back in the hole.

Trilby · 10-13-2010, 07:41 AM

Nah, this is Chile! They will both immediately make love to him!

#12 on the way out. Great feed from the BBC.

TheMercenary · 10-13-2010, 08:14 AM

I just timed the last rescue #12. Time to top from bottom is 15 min. Not bad. Sounds like they are moving a little faster than before.

It's heartwarming, especially the happiness on the faces of the families. Chalk one up for human resiliency.
