#18 is next. I can't imagine what the miners are feeling during their final fifteen minute rides in that 22-inch wide capsule.

The last miner volunteered to be last. He is the shift foreman. Brave souls.

ETA: 33RD MINER COMING UP SHAFT!!

After that we're waiting for the rescuers to come up the shaft. Can't forget about them.

How many rescuers are down there now, at least four or five?

It would suck to be the last guy. That hour will last forever.

News report said that there were 5 or 6 EMTs and/or rescure workers who went down.

I think they said 5 rescuers.

I assume they are coming up the shaft now while CNN is showing the rescued miners talking to the president. I guess viewers don't want to see the rescuers come up the shaft.

I've been glued to this. Praise God, I'm so happy for these miners, considering it was projected they might be there till Christmas. I can't believe they're all safe and it looks like the one miner's pneumonia was the worst of it. I am so grateful, I hope they all recover from the long-term effects of this. All of them (AND their families) need counseling once they are medically stable.

The last rescuer is up, and the capsule is coming out. What a sight.

I got really teary eyed when they got the first miner out. I'm so sad I was at work and missed seeing the last miner get pulled out! Thank goodness everyone got out safely. Hopefully the miners will be in good health upon evaluation at the hospital.
