Re: Breaking News...........

Stupid media, they arent trapped, the big elevator broke and now they have to take the small one.

Not fun, but not exactly the "terror" the news media outlets want.

Re: Breaking News...........

from fox news.com:
There were no injuries and there was no immediate danger to any of the workers in Harmony Gold Mining Co.'s Elandsrand Mine, company and union officials said.
Peter Bailey, health and safety chairman for the National Mineworkers Union, said the first 74 men reached the surface shortly after 1 a.m. Thursday. "They are all doing well," he said.

They had 3200 people in that mine. It must take a village. There has to be much gold in that mine.

SBN, Sorry if I can across as harsh, but I have strong opinions about the media these days.

If they would have waited a while before trying to "scoop" the competition, they would have realized this was a non-event.
