I remember watching the rescue of Jessica McClure and how thrilling, heart wrenching and emotional it was.

I just listened to CBC radio replay the Moose River Mine rescue of 1936. Here's the link. http://archives.cbc.ca/economy_business/natural_resources/clips/3860/
"This was North America's first live 24 hour news event."
They're only an hour ahead of our local time in Copiapo Chile, so that means the lifts won't start until quite late tonight. CNN is covering it live, of course. I cannot wait to see the first man come up after 68 days, 1,630+ hours... and endless number of minutes! How excited they must be, well maybe a little less so for the poor fellow with the wife and mistress both waiting for him? I bet even he will be smiling... for the moment!
