The 33rd MAN is out.  That's all the miners who were trapped for 69 days.

Viva la masculinity!

If they are able to keep on this schedule, they should have #33 out (plus two volunteers who went down) by roughly 7 p.m. tonight, Pacific time.  Keep praying that the little elevator that can keeps chugging along, getting those men out.


Well, the last trapped miner came out at a little after 6 p.m. (Pacific time), right on schedule.  I'm not sure when the two volunteers came out, or if they're still down there and about to come up.  Oh, okay, they're now saying on the news that there are still five volunteers, paramedics, etc. who are still to come up.  They had earlier reported just two volunteer medics.

Chile!  Chile!  Chile!

Um ..Yeah, NASA helped out with the project, the rescue capsule was built in Pennsylvania, and an American headed up the Drilling Operation.

Just saying.

I think Paul was being sarcastic.


You are a smart one Biscuit Queen.   :notworthy:

We all talk so much about the same stuff, so I didn't think anyone would misunderstand me.  On the other hand, people noticed my message.

You can catch more flies with vinegar?   :yikes:

It's all cool.   :sunny:

Agreed, Paul was being sarcastic.  He was mockingly echoing the tendency within mainstream media outlets to gloss over male suffering by referring to it in gender-neutral terms.  If 900 male soldiers die in a military battle, and 9 female soldiers also die, it is still accurate to acknowledge the fact that the vast majority of casualties are male.  But it would be politically incorrect to make such an acknowledgment.

I'm sorry Paul.  I missed your sarcasm.  We could use a  sarcazer emoticon.

There are always two extremes....the truth lies in the middle.

the rescue capsule was built in Pennsylvania

The capsule , the biggest of three built by Chilean navy engineers, was named Phoenix I for the mythical bird that rises from ashes and is painted in the white, blue and red of the Chilean flag.



What I get for watching MSNBC.  It was the very drill bits themselves (http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2010-10-14-chileside14_ST_N.htm) that made the rescue possible that did it, as well as a US Firm feeding them.

Once again, the Great World Satan is the lynchpin on which a humanitarian effort rests.

Damn those capitalist American pigs!

Why are they called miners. Why not men. If it were 23 women you can bet we'd damn well know they were women.

When firefighters die, it's a pretty safe bet they were men unless they were forest firefighters, which seem to be about 50/50 men and women.

50/50?  How bout some proof for that claim?  Link?

Mines cave-in in China and Ecuador
Malaysia Sun
Sunday 17th October, 2010

20 miners are dead and another 17 are missing underground in a Chinese mine accident.

The mine in the city of Yuzhou in the central province of Henan collapsed during a sudden coal and gas outburst according to officials.

276 miners were at work below ground when the accident occurred.

While most made it to the surface, rescuers have been held up in looking for the others due to high gas levels in the mine.

Meanwhile, in scenes reminiscent from those in neighbouring Chile, emergency teams headed underground at a gold mine in Ecuador only to find miners had died in a rockfall.

Hoping to rescue the four workers who had become trapped, the rescuers dug through debris closest to the men.

Three of the four workers at the Casa Negra mine, near the town of Portavelo, were found dead on Saturday, while the status of the fourth man is still unknown.

The Ecuadoran miners were trapped early on Friday, shortly after Chile completed its historic, successful rescue of 33 miners who had been stuck underground in the San Jose mine for a record period of nearly 10 weeks.
