My 8 year old is watching this and wants to know why they just didn’t build a long ladder down the hole instead of this capsule.

“Because banging on it with a loaf of bread wouldn’t accomplish anything?”

I suppose you could be right.

Is ‘Larry King Live’ the name of his show, or a confirmation of his medical status?

[Bad~Rodeo]

LMAO~ David Spade could use some new material, L~

Sorry, just tuning in... Has anyone thought of what to do when these guys get the bends? Anyone know where the nearest decompression chamber is? Have they talked about this at all? Thanks...

I hadn’t seen him in at least a year. That was scary. I had to wait until I heard BOR say “Alan” before I knew for sure.

[djf]

Have to.

Don’t want that sucker rubbing on the sides...

[old_sage_says]

“Shep flat out suckkkkkkkkkksssssssssssssss”

The absolutely worst people to give commentary on events such as these are Shep and Sean.

[Nik Naym]

“Don’t want that sucker rubbing on the sides...”

Not gonna touch that one.

[Raebie]

Where’s Brit when you need him...

[WellyP]

No different than going on a rapid ski lift. There is no water involved so no problem.

[old_sage_says]

Thanks, I wasn’t watching when an explanation was reported.

If so, they will be hounded for interviews and most likely book and movie deals. If their names are released I would hope they ask for as much money as possible for book and movie rights. Quite simply, they have earned the rights to all the money they can get.

There was a report that they've all agreed that they're going to share any money that comes their way. They're hoping that they make enough that none of them ever has to work in the mines again.

Another report is that there were tensions between the main group and a group of five miners who were considered their inferiors because they were contract laborers. That group actually set up a separate camp some distance from the others. And one of the wives said that the men have all agreed never to talk about what happened during the first 17 days, between the cave in and the first drill breaking through to them. Apparently bad stuff went down.
