    I'm sure that everyone by now has seen or heard on the news, the good turn of events down in Chile. Their trapped miners are being slowly brought back to the surface one by one to rousing applause from around the world. A truly heart warming happy ending.

    Chile Rocks! -rockon

    Also, a big thumbs up to the rescuers who are actually being lowered into the mine to prep the miners for their journey back to the surface. That's gotta be ballsy, no matter how you slice it... -worship

    Saw it live on the news, getting one person out almost took an hour... but so far those people looked fine.

    This had a happy ending. I expected 30 people trapped underground for 10 weeks to become infected and starting fucking shit up as they got topside. Fuck this zombie game trend.

    Glad they all will hopefully make it out ok

    Noticing that video of the last rescuer leaving with the lights still on, and now that everyone is out and the rescue shaft is officially covered and sealed; I'm waiting for a video to eventually surface of an unidentified shadowy 'someone' walking around, still in the mine.
