You see them all chanting??? Trying to keep the momentem alive??? Thats amazing!

So are we looking at appx 16 hours or more to rescue all of them?

 

[KaylynnCouture]

Absolutely remarkable. It's great to see some good news tonight.

Lots of hugs and prayers to these miners and their families!

I'm staying up watching and am overjoyed to see the first miner rescued. I cried thru the whole thing. Praying for all the miners to come back safe!

I heard it will take about 48 hrs to get everyone out. The minors wanted to wait for each other but they said that would not be possible.

 

[KaylynnCouture]

How long does it take to get each miner out?

 

[KaylynnCouture]

Ok here comes the second miner!!

 

[momtective]

How long does it take to get each miner out?

15-20 min. to get the tube ready to go down the chute(checking the door and all)...17 min to get the tube down the chute, 15-20 min. to get the next man aboard the tube and 16 min to get the tube back up to the surface...all just very approximate numbers but a fair guesstimate....somewhere around an hour per person I would think.

 

[Blue_Dolphin308]

2nd one is up!

 

[Peachy]

Second miner has surfaced.
I need the Kleenex again.

 

[Peachy]

LOL
The second miner raced over to the crowd, gave someone a hug and then got them cheering.

 

[Elphaba]

More cheering here...
