Anderson,
This must also be hard for you after the mining accident a few years ago. My thoughts are with the miners, families, and you.....you are the best reporter ever!
I am so excited for the 33 miners. It has been a long wait.
What an experience to view this live across the world.
Praying this all goes well !!!
Great coverage here from Karl Penhaul
Emily and Sue,
Yes, we are!!!! I am so exciting for them!!!
Emily,
BTW..... You're welcome.:)
Is there any information about the high of the cave and if it matches the high from the capsule? The capsule bottom should reach the ground of the cave to keep the capsule aligned with the hole by where it should go back thru, which might not be an issue with the help of the miners to place it back into the tunnel with a miner inside, except for the last person to board it.
Thx
Currently, I live in Newark, Ohio but I am from Argentina and I am praying for all the miners to make it out safely.
Thanks Samantha! I tuned in at 5:30 pm PST and missed that.
Good evening Anderson and everyone. I am thankful there is a live feed of the rescue mission.
good evening anderson,
on pins and needles watching the rescue. Can hardly wait until the first one is rescued. All I can say is what a miracle! Praise God!
I was wondering they are worried about the men's eyes when they come up why don't the send some dark sunglasses down to them to help them adjust to the light slowly?
Remember the temperature down below are near 90 degrees but a whole lot cooler at the surface. What a shock they will get!
he just explained it – humidity
Hi Anderson this is so exciting wishing all the best

This could have ended as a tragedy, thank god these guys are going to be alright
May God be with all of them.
@ Meagan,,,Yes we will be waiting. I can't wait to see the 1rst miner rescued. .. and the rest to follow.
Our prayers and thoughts with miners and their families, including Chile's people...... I am watch my tv and can't wait them get out fast! 🙂
@ Lori
AC360 was on 2 hours ago and explained that the miners will wear compression socks and a type of "corsette" that will help the blood stay near the heart and brain. Never dived below the sea but it is a lot like when you fly jets at high speeds.
Is there any risk of decompression sickness or the bends?
This is history in the making for Chile
I prey for the 33!!
Joschi,Germany
Thanks Megan. 🙂
Watching and sending prays from Tamaqua,Pa waiting to hear that all are safe
Sitting here with my Chilean Wife and Sister-in-law. We all hope they get out safe! This is an amazing rescue effort!
So many of us are praying that this rescue mission goes well. Looking forward to seeing the 1rst miner and most of all the last one safely on the ground.
Pray the Lord for everything to work fine in the rescue. God bless the miners.
Emily
Did NASA design the "Phoenix Capsule"?
Emily,
Yes.
Hopefully this will all go smoothly and get everyone out safe and fast
I wonder if the assention of the miners is encumbered by their depth below surface? Similar to being under the sea?
sometime we see something like smoke or steam coming from the shaft – anybody explain that?
May God be will all of them.
Good Evening Anderson AC360 Team, Emily, Jo Ann, Megan, Starr, Sree, David, Nancy, Heather, Gloria, Karin Everyone!
Thankyou cnn International for putting AC360 on live!
Did NASA design the "Phoenix Capsule"?
God bless them. They will be freed. It's a good day.
Happy to see that these miners will soon be out. I remember when this first happened they said they would not be resuced until after the new year, thankfully they were wrong
Good evening Anderson & Team 360!
