Freedom just hours away for miners in chile

reply to post by JudgedCover


it would not be the "Jersey Shore" the name of the show would be "Chilian Miners" lol and im not trying to be rude or cause any heartache to anyone who knows these 33 miners. but it would be kind of cool if they stuck a camera down there and played live footage of down in the mine so we could hear them and see how they each react when people are lifted up out of the mine. i would like to see the video from the miners perspective. I pray that these men will be reunited safetly with their families and i pray that these 33 brave men will be treated with the best medical procedures and the best doctors we have to offer. This is truly a great day in history. look at how many people are coming together to help these men. its an amazing and beautiful site

They are lift the first man out now.
Watch the live feed!

How many have they lifted up? I stopped watching aftert the 3rd man was hoisted into fresh air

Maybe it's just me but I find some of the technical explanations being given by the tv commentators to be very rudimentary and unneccessary.

At one point he pointed out that when the wheel is going clockwise that means the capsule is coming up.

I thought .... duh thats obvious.

But then my wife came into the room and I asked her to say whether the capsule was going up or down and she got it wrong. When I explained about the wheel and the cable she didn't get it.

It's just an example of how people see the the same thing differently. Never ceases to amaze me.
