Yep - I've been watching for a couple of hours. "Riveting" is not the word. It's enthralling. What a completely brilliant effort. The Chileans should feel proud of this achievement!

Yes, been watching too - very emotional but in a good way.
Long way to go, but great seeing the first miner surface.

I was just reading an article that all 33 of them are now back on the surface again.

I wonder how many will want to go back down the mine again.
