They were freed at 4.45 I beleive....they both walked from the mine entrance(after being checked over and pressure washed) to be greeted by their families, They did their usual and took their tags from the board, and I must admit they looked in excellent shape, and had they got their way they would have walked out the gates of the mine.
They are now in hospital getting checked out and they are determined to go to Larry's funeral this afternoon at 1pm

Re: Missing Miners are alive
Brilliant news that Grant and Todd are out!
What a fantastic co-operative effort by everyone involved in the rescue.
Aussie Mateship at it's best!
They are both going to attend Larry's funeral today.
My deepest sympathies go out to Larry's family who must be feeling a lot of mixed emotions this morning.

Wow - amazing! I must admit I shed a tear.
I imagine though that going to the funeral will be very difficult since they will be only hours out of contemplating the same possibility.
