    I am glued to the tv too. I have a tv in my bedroom and it was on all night. I cry everytime one of them comes out but smile too!!! What a wonderful wonderful thing.

    I really lost it when the young son of the first one out was crying and hugging his dad!!!
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    I'm born in a mining area and when I was a kid in 1962, there was a big explosion in a mine and 299 miners died. Noone in my family- but there was no kid in my class friends and family of which were not touched by this disaster.
    Both of my grandpas were working in the mines and my mom's dad died in an accident down there 2 years before I was born at the age I have now.
    Miners are very proud men- as they know they can face their death daily.
    My heart goes out to these people. Seeing the sky again after such a time- it's a first class miracle!

    It's just such a testament to the power of human endurance and international cooperation! Such a happy day, and were I the Chilean President, like he, there is no way I would be anywhere else at this moment!

    This event is awesome.

    What boggles my mind - people around the world are as one today, watching the men come up. China, England, Austria, Iran - everyone is watching and praying. Why can't we continue to be as one once this is over - why do we have to revert to our old ways?

    Fascinating image from inside the mine...the two rescue crew gesture as the last miner is situated in the Phoenix capsule and heads up to freedom.

    Chi Chi Chi Le Le Le! I love the patriotism shown by all there. Their lives are going to be turned upside down now and I hope they make out okay.

    A good cartoon by Randy Bish of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:



    See: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pitt.../opinion/bish/
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
