You would have thought diazepam and diphenhydramine might be better than food...

They will probably have vitamin D Deficiency.

Will look forward to watching this, Do they have a live feed from the capsule or will it just be broadcast from the surface?

I'm pretty sure they havn't been in complete darkness, there is vehicles down there which they have been using to move th debri that the driliing has caused.

Also i read that they setup a light area to help the miners keep a day/night pattern.

Nasa scientists have been sorting that out etc etc

It's still true. Artificial light is no substitute for the real thing. Even NASA don't have a portable sun.

They will have been doing that anyway for the last 2 months

I'm sure they would rather wait another few hours for their wives/gf's/bf's!

I would love to stay up and watch this, but I very much doubt the camers will see anything of any interest. Shame really - it could make really good TV.

Put Sky News on now. You won't believe it.

Top left hand corner 'Miners Rescued 0 of 33'.

It's like a video game to them!

Anna Botting's wide mouth always reminds me of wallace and gromit .

Btw, rescue now starts at 11pm, and the first to be rescued could surface within the next hour to hour and half apparently.

m@rty · 12 Oct 2010 at 23:02

Oops they killed a hostage, 0/32 now!

sanaxe1 · 12 Oct 2010 at 23:08

0/33 .. somebody just fell in.

Merlin5 · 12 Oct 2010 at 23:08

Rescue start put back to midnight again now.

When I turned over to Sky News you surely must know what went through my mind and what game this counter represents?!

Twentyone · 12 Oct 2010 at 23:13

I remember they said that there was one or two of the miners that were claustrophobic and was going to be given sedatives before going up.

I don't see how they would manage working there at all prior to the collapse :eek:

Merlin5 · 12 Oct 2010 at 23:13

LOL

Lemmings, greatest game ever.
