They are sending a doctor and engineer down the shaft. God that would be nerve scary.

I'd have to be heavily sedated to make the trip.

Glad that Americans got to help in this rescue drilling effort. Always nice to hear about saved lives in troubled times.

Seen. That being said, I'd have to be sedated to watch Anderson Cooper's coverage... no... wait... it is sedating me...

Back in my (much)skinnier days I was able to wiggle through some 24" inside diameter pipe we were welding at work. It was only about 30 feet long and open at both ends so it wasn't that big a deal.

Doing the same through a half-k of rock and being hauled upwards in the dark has sure gotta be different though. Don't know how those poor bastards are doing it without screaming all the way to the top. Brrrrr! Sounds worse than a horror movie.

This is just such a 'good-news' story. Good for these survivors and good for Chile.

Yeah, I'd have had a full-on, nut out, meltdown if I were confined that way. I'd not have been a good candidate for submarine duty.

I recall hearing there's a Canadian component to the rescue team, too! [B-o]
