What heartwarming TV coverage from Chile. Watching the miners being winched out of that mine is bringing tears to my eyes. It must be so hard for the last guy waiting for his turn. In this day and age of instant everything (except quilts of course) it seems strange to think that the rescue won't be over until sometime tomorrow.

I don't often follow news stories, but this is one that has been in my thoughts every day. I have had fingers crossed for those men every day...
The Chilean authorities deserve a prize for the effort put into this mission, and their management of the whole thing right from the start. THIS is the way to deal with an emergency! OK, compared to the tsunami and the Pakistan floods, this is small beer, but a beautiful example of how to get it right!
Here! Here!

It was so overwhelming, I cried - what a reunion for the men and their families.
What clever inventors to create the capsule.
This is the most wonderful, incredible, inspiring story of this year or any in my memory. It takes me back to the little girl who fell into the hole in Midland, Texas -- 'Baby Jessica' -- back in 1987. The nation prayed for that little girl. I think the entire world has been praying for these men. A miracle of faith, science and human determination and will to live.

The last man is out of the hole! Well done, the rescue mission!
That was wonderful news to wake up to this morning. I didn't have the stamina to stay up till the end so I have nothing but admiration for the rescuers who must have been so tired as they came to the last men on the list.
