Smile Miners in Chile

Isn't it lovely to have an almost happy ending on a news story for a change.

These blokes should be out within a few days after 62 days underground. You have to commend the perseverence of the people trying to rescue them, and also the men who are down there, and haven't given up hope.

I really hope something doesn't go wrong now, but its really cheering me up, seeing it work towards its conclusion and getting those men out of there.

Talk about my worst nightmare I'll be honest, I can't even read any of the articles about this because I get cold sweats and feel sick

It really is good they're hopefully gonna be out sooner than expected - I'd heard christmas originally

I soooo want to stay up and watch this, but dont think I will be able to make it, and then work an 11 hour day tomorrow.

Am keeping my fingers crossed that this all goes ok at this dangerous stage.

Sorry to post again, but only on sky news would you have a counter which will go up as each miner gets freed
