9 Miners rescued

[MountaineerTom]

Glad to hear they survived.  After a couple days, I though chances were slim that they would still be alive.

Yeah...  That's fantastic!!!  I really thought this might turn into another tragedy.  It's great to see a community pull together like that.

I agree, it was great news! I thought it would have turned out alot worse!! I find it not only amazing that they survived, but amazing that the drillers were in the right spot, for all they knew, the miners could have been somewhere else. I saw one interview where the guy said they could have survived a little while longer, it was cool that they were so calm and considerate of one another when trapped in a space like that!!!!!!

That was great news.  It's amazing that they can be so accurate by just getting a map of the mines and then surveying the ground up top and decide where to drill and hit ti right on like that.

 

I liked it too that President Bush said he was sure that all the prayers from around the country were what helped them survive.  Kinda makes these people who keep making a big deal out of the pledge of allegiance and stuff like that look kinda dumb, when the Pres. keeps saying things like that, I think.

Speaking of that Pledge of Alligance and stuff that has the word God in it, I hear something now about the "In God We Trust" that is stamped on our money,I guess the same people want that off too!!!!! All I can tell them is just dont get any and dont spend any if they dont like it, thats just going a little far IMO!
