They are sending the first rescue worker into the mine in Chile. My thoughts with all those families awaiting the return of their loved ones safe and whole. I can't even imagine what the last 69 days have been like and applause to all those rescue workers, hopefully tomorrow morning will be a positive close to this story.

I hope so, too. My heart is with them all.

Two have been pulled thus far and it really makes me proud that with the crap in this world, we can come together to do something good

Yeah, I've been hanging on the news updates; even though I expect the families and the miners have both gone through hell in the last two months, I really hope that this whole thing will be brought to a happy close tomorrow.

The second miner was such a sight running around hugging his family and going up to all the rescue workers. He had to be forced to go on his gurney.

Made me feel very good.

Such good news!

I was interested in reading about the survival of these men during their time down there. I read about the guidance received from NASA experts on things such as fitness/exercise. It made sense that NASA would have the people who knew about longer term living in small quarters with limited supplies. The part about the skin infections some of the men suffered made me think of "Red Sands," too. Survival under these conditions is both miraculous and heroic.
