| Chile Miners Anyone else watching the miners being rescued? I'm watching it on CNN. All this is so amazing. Just seeing the families waiting to be reunited with their loved ones is so touching.

| The rescue is amazing and I watched the first of the miners come to the surface. Now the the Maury aspect of this story. What do you think about the guys with the multiple wives/girlfriends? I guess we will have to wait for the TV movie

| Oh wow, I didn't know about any of that. I'm just watching the CNN version. Sounds like the Maury POV is a tad different.

I heard this on the radio today! At first I thought it must be a joke but it's for real. Maybe this situation put things in perspective for them, who knows. I'm just glad they live to see the sun again.

| This rescue was truly amazing. On the news this morning they said the wife of the guy with the mistress decided his mistress could have him and said she wouldn't bother to show up for his extraction. He probably wants to be the last out. I am so glad they are succeeding with this rescue mission.

I'm so happy I was up last night to see the first of the miners to be rescued. The look on that little boy's face waiting for his father was just tear jerking. I am so glad they were able to get them out early...now they can spend the holidays with their family.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I just watched him come out and his mistress was there waiting. I think she should have stayed home and allowed his wife and daughter to greet him, and they could have met at the hospital or something. If I was the mistress, it is not something I would want aired! |

| I have watched every once in a while when they showed the miners down there so long and still keeping their spirits up. I think it is such a great story. How horrible this must have been, but they kept positive, worked together and the families did not give up. Now that they are being rescued, it is really amazing! What a fantastic end to what could have been a very different story. I wish they had had the good graces to skip the mistress aspect of the story. Let us all enjoy our fairy tale ending!

I have been watching for hours since last nite. I just thank God as each one is pulled out safely. When you see how everyone can pull together to make this happen you wonder why it can't always be like this.

| I heard he is married for 28 years and has the mistress for the last 10 years... Anyways, I'm glad they got them all out. That were tough 10 weeks for the men and their families.
