Emily, those are $450 stock Oakleys.
Remember folks, one person is going to be down there alone at the end. Not a miner of course, but still...that's going to be an interesting 30 minute phase.
It is awesome to watch mankind pull together and work as one under God's guidance, dont stop now.
It's so amazing how this rescue mission was so well orchestrated.
Please explain to viewers how the last rescuer worker will be brought up, as he will not have others to assist him in getting into the Phoenix capsule and closing door.
Good evening Anderson, Isabel, Emily, Starr, Megan, Sree, Nicole everyone.
Just the greatest news tonight seeing the thirty third miner being brought up from the mine.
The marathon reporting by Gary and Karl was wonderful and much appreciated. They deserve a lot of credit!
Goodnight Anderson and everyone.The world was riveted by this extremely emotional rescue by the Phoenix over the past 24 hours [and of course, the 50 days before]. What an amazing show of love, compassion, solidarity, and extreme fortitude.
After 68 days and nights of such an ordeal, the families can share a little peace tonight.
Many more struggles to face, let's hope they can endure those too.
Indeed the world can unite in the face of adversity.
yay! go chile! every nation should have its persistence that they showed in these past 69 days. watching this has made me want to be a rescue/relief doctor when i'm older
Someone had to maintain calmness.
Good evening Anderson and AC360 Team And all -bloggers-..
Thankyou for the great reporting last night
Thanks Gary, Karl and Patrick and all producers
The good news and the blog yesterday was something to never forget.
People from Chile! Australia, Brazil, Germany, Switserland, England, Nigeria, Macau, Denmark, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Poland, Panama, Belgium, Italy, Singapore, Japan, the West Indies,
What a live show and coverage, and blog!
Sometimes when we are mired in economic distress, political divide, global war, racial divide, global catastrophes, and the loss of our homes and jobs, it is heart warming to see 33 souls rise from the depths of hell and live to see another day. If you happened to watch any of the coverage of the miners making the journey back to the world it is a great blessing, and maybe might remind us of the goodness in the world
@Emily. Hi Emily. I heard it was Oakley and they blocked out all the bad UV spectrums.
thanks for the wonderful coverage!
God bless all who participated in the miners rescue, thank you God for a wonderful day in Chile.
You did it!! We are looking from Sweden and just want to say that we are so happy that all is okey. Biggest Love From Sweden.
@Emily, whomever made their sunglasses will now be well known after this
So happy to experience GOOd news together, for a change. Miracle, by miracle...great way toput it Anderson.
I thought the Chilian Pres.'s statement to the last miner, "your shift if over" was poinant and very touching.
Another page in world's history has just been written. Welcome back miners!
From Honduras to all Chile congratulations mission accomplish! God bless all miners!
That's how I feel, Jo Ann. When people work together, truly together, with the goal of solving a problem (instead of the goal of egos prevailing, etc.) it is just fabulous what can happen.
Anderson, how did they get the message on the drill bit? How was it attached? How on earth did it stay on? It's a miracle that it stayed on.
Their 'intestinal fortitude' of everyone truly is remarkable, Nancy. Words cannot describe who much I admire them all.
Does anyone know what was written on the back of the miners suits they wore out of the mine?
Hi Anderson and bloggers,
Great to hear the 33 miners are freed!
This is really an unbelievable story.
A job well done!
A wonderful endig to a tragic event! I am so relieved it is almost over. This was an exercise in how to work together to get something accomplished.
Everyone can learn from this.
Remarkable to share, isn't it Starr? I had a personal scare today (with my beloved dog), but it's amazing how much last night's experiences helped lift me!
Who made their special sunglasses?
Anderson, how does the last rescue worker harness himself in and close the capsule. can he do this from the inside of the capsule?
The comments the last worker was giving were so revealing. Their honesty and willingness to share their experiences with us is such a privilege. Viva Chile!
Good evening everyone.
Looking forward to the show tonight.
What an AMAZING day. What a GREAT feeling to see people from all over the world unite together in hope and prayer that the miners would all be rescued.
Good evening everyone. What a happy day. I'm so happy for all the miners, their families, the rescue workers and their whole country. They should be proud of what their country has accomplished.
Question for a medical expert:
What will be the effects on the miners of breathing mine dust for 70 days?
Congratulation to all of the 33 miners and the remaining rescuers.
This brings new meaning to the saying, 'There is a light at the end of the tunnel'
He must know how to do it, Emily...remarkable stuff, isn't it? Including the 'intestinal fortitude' of those directly involved and impacted.
Good evening Anderson & Team 360.

Good evening all...
Fantastic coverage by CNN the past 24 hours on the rescue of the Chilean miners! This beautiful story was historic and captivated me with the goodness in mankind. I'm so thankful all 33 miners have been rescued. Excellent reporting by Karl Penhaul and Gary Tuchman. Kudos to CNN for staying on this story around the clock. CNN...you are the worldwide leader in news!
Good evening, people...what a 24 hours! But gosh, I still can't imagine how that last rescue worker will feel, all alone down there for awhile. Ugh!
Hello Anderson! Hello Everyone!
Hello, everyone.
Anderson,
Hi! It's great to see you on–and live for two hours.
It's wonderful to see the miners finally free–the rescue has been incredible.
So happy that the 33 miners are out. I hope that the five rescue workers will be out safely. How is the last one going to get into the Capsule alone?
Evening Anderson and everyone. So happy the ordeal in Chile is over
Good evening Anderson, Isha, 360°Team, Jo Ann, Mike, David, Megan, Nicole, Sree, Nancy, Gloria, Libby, Starr & Bloggers!
