Maybe they should hook up because if he’s hitting the bottle then Ali would be the one to help him and thanks

The cable may be causing the pod to spin in the direction of the lay of the cable winding. It should have a big swivel at the top and bottom to allow the cable to “play” freely.

Heavy doses of valium and versed would be helpful.

there is no commentary...That's the best way. When they bring the first guy up, he'll have a scratch on his arm and Chris Matthews will blame Bush.

The cable may be causing the pod to spin in the direction of the lay of the cable winding Interesting surmise; but haven't they been lowering stuff already? Would not such a spin have been seen before?

I am worried. Americans drilled the hole two months faster than expected with a drill built in PA.
The Chilean mining company has taken over now. I think they are not as competent. Reminding me of that famous movie where the guy is trapped in Calif desert mine but the story takes on a life of it’s own. They drag out the rescue when they could have gotten him out at any time. It is good for business and the story.
He then collapses and dies. I want to say Kirk Douglas was in the movie.

I hope they have a back-up capsule on hand in case something happens to this one.

Telephone going down. Hopefully they already sent down the bag of dimes.

Yes there is going to be some spin. It has been reported that they were worried about the spin causing a problem in the men coming up.

I can get both Fox and CNN audio on my XM radio. Is that Shep Smith blabbering on Fox?

In this frame grab from a video released by the Chilean government, a camera set up on top of the capsule that will carry the trapped miners to the surface shows the tunnel as it is going up during a test at the San Jose Mine near Copiapo, Chile, Tuesday, Oct. 12, 2010.

It’s being reported that the miners are saying they WILL NOT leave the site (to go to hospital, whatever) until ALL the miners are on the surface.

They should just knock these guys out with drugs, strap them in the capsule, and haul them out. That looks like one hell of an amusement park ride!

The capsule has wheels on the side, oriented vertically, that should help once it reaches the casing.
