That'd be awful being winched up in that shitty little capsule, although preferable to being stuck under ground!

Anyone ever find out what happened with regards to their toilet facilities whilst down there? Must be pretty grim

I keep flicking over to sky news, I like the little counter they have in the top left corner

Miners rescued

0-33

What happens if one gets stuck or they have to leave one or something

32-33

We was talking at work about being the last one down their waiting on your own. But I said you either want to be the 1st out or last out as you'll be most famous and easily sell your story.

"I was miner number 15" doesn't quite have the same ring to it as "I was the first out of the mine" or "I was last to be rescued from the mine".

Credit where credit is due for their high spirits. I reckon I'd have been a right mess.

i thought that but they said they need to make sure it will be alright as rocks will be falling onto the capsule and they want the physically/mentally fit up first to make sur it's all ok, then get the weak up after when they have seen it's all ok.

According to BBC News, they were just greasing the wheels before it decends for a 6th time - it's just taking longer than the 10 minutes they had planned.
