The miners who have been trapped in that Chilean mine are being brought to the surface. One of them might not be in much of a rush to come up though as his wife and his mistress discovered each other's existence while holding vigil at the site.

I'm so happy for all of the miners and their families. I cried last night when the first guy arrived at the surface.

I'm waiting to see what happens when the guy gets out whose wife and mistress met for the first time at the top of the shaft.

You aren't the only one! Amazing. Just Amazing. I can not imagine what it was like to live down there for that long.

Forget that it was a mine for just a minute, and imagine being trapped at work with your coworkers for 69 days! :-O

I heard on The View, that this miner will be one of the last miners to be rescued from the mine. And also, the wife told the mistress that both of them, were not going to be there for the reunion. On the View, they said the Mistress would be there, and the wife will not.


15th miner rescued!!!! They are sending down the 4th medic. What brave medical personnel to go down into the mine!!!

I just watched Daniel Herrera, one of the Chilean miners, being reunited with his mom, on the live feed from ABC News. I think I should get a copy of this and watch it whenever my contacts get too dry. :((

One of them will probably try to break his shaft.

Wasn't the mistress aware of the wife? But there's more apparently.....

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... iners.html

At least five wives have been forced to come face to face with mistresses whose existence was kept from them by their husbands, who have been trapped more than 2,300ft below since a cave in on August 5.

The original wife/mistress guy, Yonni Barrios Rojas, didn't have to worry about which woman was going to meet him.

Wonder if the wife's divorce lawyer was there to serve him papers.

His mistress greeted him at the rescue site today; his wife was not present. Marta Salinas, the 56-year-old wife of Barrios, said she is not interested in her husband's rescue.
Ruh-roh. I know somebody who wishes her husband had stayed buried in that mine. . .

One miner left. I've been glued to this, when I haven't been in court, or asleep. (Mostly in court-didn't sleep much last night.)

I think it's so thrilling.

And timely. My mom is going to Chile next week. What an exciting time to be there!

I heard a cool report on NPR this morning. Obviously these 33 guys are never going to have to set foot in a mine again, they're all about to get a ton of money from book deals, movie deals and assumingly the mining company. Before the rescue they agreed to be represented and act as a group, not individuals...so no one will profit any differently than any of the other 32.

They have also agreed to never speak of what went on during the first seventeen days of their ordeal. Apparently they kind of broke into two groups (some of them were mine employees while others were contract employees) before things settled down and they all came together. If they have agreed never to speak of what went on it really makes you wonder how bad it got down there.

It has been on at work, but for some reason I have not followed this story much at all.

That makes it sounds like they ate someone.

Or were preparing to.
