they are kind of worried about the order of the evacuation...and possible fighting breaking out among the miners...to say they are suffering from cabin fever is really a hell of an understatement right now..

i was watching, or trying to watch, a soccer game. and it was interrupted by coverage of this thing. /: my lover was on. and i didn't get to see him play. ): do we really have to watch these people get pulled up.

I will be watching it as well......This is absolutely awesome............cage is fixing to be lowered with another paramedic for the third time. So not only after the 33 miners are brought up then the paramedics will have to brought back up as well..... Even though things are going good so far anything could still happen..... Prayers, thoughts and well wishes are with them all.....

About 1/2 way, they'll get it down to a science, confidences will go up and am thinking it will start going faster than that. Hopefully.

Now I wish I had cable. Have to wait til 2am for ABC World News Now to come on to see any of the coverage. Just a downside of working 2nd shift. I am so happy for the men in the mine as well as the families who have been waiting and praying for them. This just goes to show that mining companies that invest in good safety measures and preparing their workers in case of disasters is worth every penny. Let's just hope our American companies have seen how worthwhile this investment is so we don't have anymore unnecessary tragedies.

Some of our American companies have been in on the plans for this recovery, NASA especially. If you can get ABC.com I think they are showing the recovery.

It's admirable that our companies have helped in the rescue, but I can't help but hope they take more proactive steps in preventing accidents and providing safe rooms just in case.
