Good news!
To: ThePythonicCow
Govenor of Penns on radio (KCBS) now, says he just told families that all nine are alive and "in pretty good shape"
To: ThePythonicCow
I'm watching it now and I'm releived.
Ironically, I was hearing a story on the radio yesterday morning when I went to put away the Bible my daughter received in her religion class. It open to Psalm 69. Freaked me out when I read the first passage.

"Dave" on radio
we got through drill hole - broke through early. in 30 secs to minute operator heard taps on other pipe for air hole.
so shut down and heard no more
blessed that water level dropped fast, so didn't have to worry
so went ahead with preasure change, pulled out drill, dropped down twoway comm device, and immediately began conversation
kept calm until knew all nine miners alive
since learned all nine miners in reasonably good shape
now real work starts - patience - serious - risky - shaft not lined - cage going down - careful not to loose integrigy of shaft - once all equipment out of way send cage down with water blankets lamps food
hoping miners can get on the cage - start bringing them up - take the cage down real slow

This is a bona-fide good news story from Fox.
The only part that sucks is that Jerry Rivera is claiming so much credit...

Rivera called the Pennsylvania govenor
dude as in "Nice job, dude"
What an idiot.
To: ThePythonicCow
Just got off work and the news of their survival was being broadcast - I'm so happy for the 9 miners and their families.
To: ThePythonicCow
What is this, a Public Relations stunt for Rivera, since he is considered by most Fox viewers as Cr*P?
Fox has so many more field reporters who would make this good-ending story much more viewable and palatable.
Roger Ailes is the boss, though.
