Chile Mine Rescue, anyone else watching and sending pixie dust?

[LauraC]

thanks Im watching my loacl fox news channel. What was with the loud siren thing a few minutes ago?

It was supposed to signify the miner had reached the service but they said it was a false alarm. It went off too early.

He's up!

 

[bgirldeb]

Miner on the surface!! Woohoo!

 

[robinb]

Were they in radio contact with him the whole time?

He's up!!!

 

[lovetoscrap]

OMG!!!! I actually screamed when it just surfaced!

 

[lovetoscrap]

you can't watch this without tears. . .

He's up!!!

Yes, audio and visual so they could keep tabs on him and talk him through it if he started to panic.

Egads I am so choked up! This is WONDERFUL!!!!

32 to go (plus the rescue worker and any others that go down) Keep praying!

The sight of the top of that capsule as it just broke the top was absolutely amazing.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

This reminds me of watching the first moon landing, but with such JOY!

 

[christineann]

Me, too. What an amazing rescue!

 

[StacyMarie]

Crying like a baby! Beautiful sight to see!

I'm in tears - so happy miner #1 made it up - sending pixie dust and prayers to the remaining 32

 

[funkychunkymonkey]

I thought for sure I was going to be so tired that I might fall asleep and miss it. Now I'm so keyed up I don't know when I will be able to fall asleep.

I teared up as well, especially seeing the son crying. I'm so happy for the family!
