He does doesn't he? His smile makes him seem.... more normal than most of our politicians imo. He has a nice genuine smile imo.

Amen, to that...

32nd miner, Ariel Ticona, is OUT...

and ONE miner is left.

I have to say these Chilian people - men and women are Beautiful!

I'm so glad to see this rescue first hand (I feel a teenie bit bad about the cameras being right in their faces).

I hope these 33 miners (and their rescuers) will never have to enter another mine again.

One left - hooray!

Made it home from work just in time!!! The capsule is on its way to get the last miner!!! Oh my gosh this is so amazing.

 

[Elphaba]

I, too, hope they never have to enter another mine... media rumors have it that all 33 are going to be offered a load of money for their story (upwards of of $400,000 apiece was the rumor I heard).

I have doin' that Chile chant all day. LOL.

Well this is it history being made right here right now. The man who holds the record for being underground for the longest Luis Alberto Urzua is about to make his way to the surface forever. He was the first to report the tragedy. He is also known as the leader and kept everyone's spirits up.

That's what I heard also, that is just for a tv interview. Then there is book deals and movie deals. Plus the Chilean government is giving them money. They deserve every penny

okay making my official post to start the last miner as I did with the first.
this will post the moment he starts his ascent.
will make a second post when he is at the surface to have an accurate time record forever.

 

[Elphaba]

OMG, my heart is pounding... the last one is in on his way... Luis Urzua.

The first rescue took 16 minutes on the way up. I've heard that they've been going faster! We will see! (They're saying a few minutes.) Waiting for JBean's official post.
