Re: Missing Miners are alive
they're using gas discharges (ahem!!) to crack the rock making it easier to remove, but latest update was that it might even be tuesday by the time they're out!!

just watched the news...think it is looking more like tomorrow before they will get them out.
Tomorrow is also the funeral of Larry Knight, his family wanted to leave the funeral until the others were frred, but as it is taking so long they have to go on with it...poor buggers
