Pretty amazing. After spending three days trapped in a mine, the rescue workers just learned that all of them are alive.

Being clostrophobic, there's no way I would ever become a miner.:)

The news channels are finally giving this some attention as it deserves.

Turn on CNN, MSNBC, or FNC.

Just heard it on the news. I was happy, hope the extraction goes well.

Extraction is when you get your tooth pulled. I think that you might mean extracation?

Given the current position they are in I would say extraction is appropriate for describing the operationespecially since extracation is not a real word.

Edit: ohh and read the signature

They lowered a phone through one of the air holes. :)
