They said the Andes 16 came and talked to them for support.... The 32nd miner's wife is kinda cute!!! Ooops nevermind that last comment

that is cool. and one of them wife's was way hot!

and you have got to admire the men that went down into the mine to see to the men and help them get into the lift.

The last miner has been rescued!

Now it's just the rescuers left. Let's pull them out, and this whole ordeal will be over!

Can you imagine how weird it must feel to be the last person to come up? You see the second to last person enter the capsule and *poof!* - they're gone, and you're all alone hundreds of meters underground. Even though you know it's only for an hour or so it must be pretty freaky.

True. Probably either terrifying or one of the most peaceful moments of your life.

but the last ones up were rescue workers so they had just been down there a few hours, and the return trip would be about 40 minutes max. (that is from the time the 2nd to last starts until the last was in and on his way up)

And now, the first rescuer down into the mine shaft to rescue the miners is the last person evacuated from the mine! And with his arrival on the surface, this harrowing ordeal has come to a successful and joyous end.

This was such as feel good story, I think they should trap miners every year!

^ lol

I saw the first guy come out and embrace his child and it made me cry. I couldn't watch anymore after that.

I couldn't watch after the first one too. Boring! I zoomed through the rest. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5......

I think they should've had a different arrival/entrance for each one to make it more entertaining. But then, the Chileans are not known for their razzmatazz.

they're out! all 33!!!!!

Yeah, for me it would be terrifying since I'm very claustrophobic but I could see how such unique and total solitude could feel peaceful too.

So what? They'd still be all the way down there all alone below massive amounts of rock.

Grab your tinfoil hats...you knew it was coming,

33 miners

Rescued on 10-13-10=33

33 days of drilling

The sentences "Estamos bien en el refugio los 33" and "We are fine in the shelter all 33" have 33 characters and spaces.

Rescue shaft diameter is 66 centimeters, which is twice 33.
