It looks like the miners had plenty of air to breath, plenty of space to move around in and enough food and water to survive. Great...but I don't think I could deal with being wedged into that small tight little capsule, being pulled through a tunnel not much wider than the capsule it self & having to stay wedged in there for 15 to maybe 40 minutes. For me, the last 15 minutes would be far, far, far more traumatic than the whole 68 days in the hole.

I turned on Fox to watch The O'Reilly Factor and Shepard Smith is covering the rescue of the beaner miners. :evil: Good luck and Godspeed to them, but please put Bill on. No one in their right fucking mind wants to watch people shuttled up a half mile through a fucking tube!

So, Danilow, you're sitting in your living room with your forehead glued to your television set just to see Bill O'Reilly, and you actually have the testicular fortitude to question someone else's sanity???

My thoughts and prayers are with the miners, and their families. Hopefully they'll all be out in a few days. I'm very impressed with the thought, planning and care that the Chilian government has put into the rescue effort.

I can certainly appreciate the claustrophobia of being in that tube. I've had a couple of brain MRI's in a closed MRI with this head gear they put over your face so you can't move at all while the test is running. It felt to me like being in a coffin. The first one took 1.5 hours total and the second one 45 min. I had a real hard time not freaking out. I found if I kept my eyes closed it helped a lot.

Alot of stuff can go down over 70 days...perhaps the tragedy of the risk of losing their mutual love allowed them to grow to become good friends......BULLSHIT...hahaha

hahaha, mayyybe you shouldn't be so sensitive if you're going to throw around words like 'beaner'. Just sayin'....and of course, Fox News is FUCKING TERRIBLE, though Bill O is definitely one of the few watchable personalities on that channel. Strange how far to the right everyone else continues to slide. (i.e. Beck)

BTW, I was pissed off too when they canceled Jimmy Kimmel for this played out shit...I mean, I hope those fuckers are 'ok', but don't cancel my TV shows..

I gotta tell, ya, as a person maaaay have just a touch of claustrophobia, I find this very intriguing. I think I could deal with, or maybe come to terms with, being trapped under ground. It looks like the miners had plenty of air to breath, plenty of space to move around in and enough food and water to survive. Great...but I don't think I could deal with being wedged into that small tight little capsule, being pulled through a tunnel not much wider than the capsule it self & having to stay wedged in there for 15 to maybe 40 minutes. For me, the last 15 minutes would be far, far, far more traumatic than the whole 68 days in the hole.


Yeah but, what about a bathroom and 31 men trapped down there with no showers or deoderant for 10 weeks........can just imagine the air. :? Thank gawd they are finally being rescued though, hope all goes well.

I live amongst the Beaners here in SoCal. They smell much better even after mowing our lawn, than Euros do after they ride the bus and chain smoke a carton of Kools.

No way. There are more Beaners here than anywhere in the USA. We got em in the fields, in the fast food industry, in landscaping and in all the car washes.
