    The whole story is something, so glad they are all on their way to a happy ending.

    I didn't realize there were children trapped!

    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    The whole story is something! Its amazing what can be done with today’s technology. It was heart warming when the first one got rescued. I hope that all the other rescues will pass by smoothly and that everyone will be save. It would be such a shame and wrong if after everything that they’ve been through, something bad would happen and go wrong.

    This is truly amazing! Imagine how the miners felt when told they didn't have to wait until Christmas, which was originally predicted.

    I am holding my breath that this will be smooth. There really is alot that can go wrong yet, but so far it has been incredible.

    It's wonderful to hear a good story in the news with a happy ending these days. There are so few of them.

    I am so grateful they got all of them out safely. What an amazing combo of prayers and engineering.

    I'm afraid to watch in case something goes wrong, but am praying every last one gets out safely.

    I watched most of it yesterday on CNN.com. Just totally amazing. I cried every time they brought one of the miners up. Truly a modern day miracle!

    I was transfixed by it all day yesterday! Truly an amazing story and awesome outcome! Loved watching the live camera in the mine and as the miners were brought up and reunited with their loved ones - so relieved they are all OK!
