I haven't posted any "breaking news" on my blog before, but this is a great time to start. The first of the trapped Chilean miners, Florencio Ávalos, 31, has made it to the surface. He has been reunited with his wife and his 8-year old son, and seems to be in good, robust health. It was tremendously touching to watch in real time. Now we all have to hope that the next 35-36 trips go as well. There were 33 trapped miners, and 3-4 paramedics and rescuers have made the descent and will have to be lifted out. Each round trip takes approximately 45 minutes, so it will be more than a full day and night before they're all safely on the surface again.
I know Casey it was very emotional. I wish I could stay up all night and watch, but first thing tomorrow morning I will switch on CNN.
ReplyDeleteFYI I have spoken my piece on MSM on my blog. And for a smile before you turn out the light check out an earlier post - STORUP QUESTIONNAIRE.
Sleep tight.
I love your breaking news, Casey! I have been with you, watching it since the first miner came to the surface. As I write this, four miners have been rescued and it's 2:50 a.m. I'm still very excited! The technology is amazing and the humanity touches me. Congratulations, Miners!
ReplyDeleteYOU ALL WOULD BE PROND OF ME. I STAYED UP TO AFTER ONE O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT.PRAYING EACH ONE UP AND OUT OF THAT HOLE. I JUST PRAY ALL GOES WELL FOR ALL THE REST. I LOVE THE PRESIDENT. STANDING THERE SMILING AND GREETING EACH ONE AS THEY COME OUT OF THE BASKET. I ALSO SEEN HIM PRAYING. PRAISE BE TO GOD. THE SMALL CHILD SO OVER JOYED THAT HIS DAD WAS ALIVE. HIS TEARS. I FELT HIS JOY IN MY HEART. I JUST WANTED TO HUG HIM. I SLEPT GOOD JUST KNOWING THOSE MEN WERE IN GOOD HANDS. I KNOW THAT FEELING.

It's miracle that they all survived for 69 straight days, no reality tv show can out match that.
