yeah exactly

who wants some action on this

O/U 1 hr 10 min for the first rescue?

10/12/2010 11:03:03 PM

O

10/12/2010 11:04:49 PM

Definitely over, how long does it take for the capsule to travel from their underground location to the surface?



nvm, on cnn:

Quote :

"[Updated at 10:55 p.m. ET] The first attempt to bring up one of the 33 trapped miners has begun. The capsule - carrying 31-year-old Florencio Avalos - is being lifted to the surface. The trip may take less than 15 minutes."

sort of surprised they allowed cameras down there, you'd think someone would have gone crazy and might have been waltzin around bare-ass


i wonder when they click the button on the rescue clicker, like completely into the open air outside?

Its pronounced Chil-ay. Not chilly.

10/12/2010 11:06:23 PM

seen it before

NINE FOR NINE

9-4-9!!!!!1

10/12/2010 11:07:10 PM

ok, new O/U since I have no idea what a reasonable number is


3 hours?

10/12/2010 11:07:41 PM

i cant find a number but according to LA times

"It is expected to take at least two days to bring all the miners out, assuming the capsule is able to negotiate the man-made shaft, which is only partially lined with metal."

10/12/2010 11:07:48 PM

ok, so 48 hours total, 33 miners

the first one might take longer before they get the hang of it, so maybe 3 hours

10/12/2010 11:08:57 PM

I wonder if all the miners will even want to be rescued?

10/12/2010 11:09:57 PM

hey now thinks they have stockholm syndrome w/ the elements

[Edited on October 12, 2010 at 11:11 PM. Reason : are they going to be paid for these months of overtime]

10/12/2010 11:10:41 PM

found this:

i have no clue of the credibility:

Quote :

"That’s right. The actual journey up from the bottom should only take around 15 to 20 minutes, but you have to remember that the capsule has to dropped down, the miners have to get into it, they have to make sure it’s secure, they have to make sure they telecom system is working, because there’s a telecom system inside the capsule so that the miners can communicate with the rescuers up above. So, there’re all sorts of things that come into play. The actual journey should only be 15 to 20 minutes, but for each man it will take around an hour to bring them up to the surface."

FIRST ONE OUT

10/12/2010 11:12:34 PM

They've been anything but productive, so I doubt it.

10/12/2010 11:12:44 PM

yall were wrong w/ your Os



i bet that dude smells like absolute bung

10/12/2010 11:13:09 PM

confused. they just said that they are taking out the healthiest people first and getting the sickest last.
does that make sense to anybody? why not get out the people that need medical attention first?

10/12/2010 11:14:29 PM

They are taking the 4 healthiest first incase something happens when they are coming up. The healthiest would be the most likely to survive if they have to climb back down or if sometihng else happens.

10/12/2010 11:16:29 PM

It would be funny if "Al quaeda out of nowhere" ran by and threw a grenade down the hole

10/12/2010 11:17:19 PM

i was wondering that too, but im sure theres a reason for it

(ie when you go into a building full of hurt people you ignore the ones screaming in pain)

[Edited on October 12, 2010 at 11:17 PM. Reason : ^^got it ]

10/12/2010 11:17:21 PM

It does seem like a video game... the way they're presenting that is just odd.

10/12/2010 11:20:03 PM

Man, Chile really has their shit together. I don't think there would be that many other countries in the world with the resolve and ability to keep all these people alive for so long.

Plus they got rocked by that earthquake like 8 months and brushed it off like it wasn't shit.

10/12/2010 11:20:07 PM

^USA rescued the miners (american headed it up)...those miners would of been trapped for forever if not for the great USA.....they might got to them in a 1,000 years by digging with shovels......also, NASA told them what to feed them while they were trapped....

I heard they are gonna seek political asylum and try to get to the USA......

10/13/2010 2:12:44 AM

So when does the countdown begin for the Discovery or National Geographic special about this?

[Edited on October 13, 2010 at 2:13 AM. Reason : But it's awesome they're finally being rescued!]

10/13/2010 2:12:51 AM

^^^man, I knew dale earnhardt was still alive

10/13/2010 2:55:32 AM

I cannot be more enthusiastic about this. I'm watching the news now and I'm cheering every time one of those poor bastards gets brought up.

Vivan los triente y tres! Those magnificent sons of bitches, I love all of them.

10/13/2010 3:26:52 AM

What if the capsule gets stuck and plugs the hole?

10/13/2010 4:53:20 AM

I just happened to turn on the news at the exact right time to see the first miner rescued last night. I was just flipping through the channels, didn't even know it was happening today.

It was a little emotional.

10/13/2010 7:19:34 AM

10/13/2010 11:16:20 AM

10/13/2010 11:18:21 AM

10/13/2010 11:24:16 AM

Day 1 of bringing loads to the surface, one man at a time.

10/13/2010 11:50:48 AM

they are like half way done with the rescue.

10/13/2010 12:36:36 PM

I'd like to think that I would've come up with a cool celebration dance whenever I got rescued

10/13/2010 12:44:48 PM

i wonder how they pee and poop down thurr
