    Yeah. Saw the first miner come up about ten minutes ago. And, they're getting ready to send a paramedic down now. It is truly an amazing operation. Hope they all make it up safely.

    I didn't see the first guy but it sounds like somebody's car alarm keeps going off. Whoever I saw looked in very high spirits. He was pumped...

    Is it me or would Kanye West jumping up and going "I'm gonna let you finish but Han Solo and Chewbacca had the greatest rescue ever.." be funny? too soon?

    Never too soon bro :knucks:

    Chuck Norris was trapped with them when the ground gave. He stayed with them, shared some stories of hope and when he got tired, he simply walked away.

    #30 just came out. They seem to have this down to a science. This is undoubtedly the best news story of the year.

    Question...I assume the last guy to come out can close the door and secure the capsule from the inside?

    He bored a hole upwards with his beard and escaped. He got home just in time to watch the grass cut itself.

    OMG the last guy!!!

    About damn time! Times like these where your hope for humanity is somewhat restored. Just gotta wait for the 6 some-odd rescue workers to come up as well.

    The president of Chile seemed genuinely happy and in tears that everyone has been rescued. He was present for the whole thing. What an operation.

    These guys just want attention.

    This was just one big elaborate Oakley's sunglasses AD campaign.
