      Just been watching it on the news.not long now for those guys. On the lunch time news they were showing how thin the hole is. Only 24 Inches.
      Hopefully all goes well for them and they will all be out by the morning.
      Thanks

        Well they reckon it could take as long as 48 hours to get them all out.

            Yes, I know. Did they decide to sleeve the tunnel after all? Missed that one.

              first 100m or so, after that was through solid rock, so no loose stones that could cause problems.

                    One of them is diabetic apparently. God only knows how he survived. That's nightmare for me, being trapped somewhere with no glucose to hand just in case...

                    Glad they're finally getting rescued.

                              Life Its a strange thing, I just watched some of the live feed on the miners :) and cried, cried with happyness for the ones that got out, cried with hope for the ones that are still down there,.....

                              strange isn't it that I can be so bothered by someone many miles away I have never met ?

                              so the moral of this tale is ,.... next time your tail waggs and you curse your gyro ! its not really that bad is It !!! :)

                              :grouphug:'s all and good fortune to the stuck miners :)
