Just caught it! Man, I thought for sure this was going to end badly.

Glad I was wrong!

Yep, just talked about it on the evening news.  Looks like something may actually have a happy ending, for a change.

But these guys aren't out of the woods yet. There is going to be a rescue basket lowered down thru an unsupported 30" wide shaft down about 240 some feet. Hopefully there is a lot of rock that was drilled thru and not dirt.

These guys are getting serious overtime for all this, right?  I know I'd expect a bit of a bonus if I were trapped in such miserable conditions for so long. [:D]

(Since they're all ok, it's fair game to joke about it.)
