If I was riding in that thing and it got stuck, I would certainly evacuate from the bottom. Drugs or no drugs.

In reply to Looking at the little tube,

They apparently didn't get any sedatives for the trip up because they needed to be alert in case the capsule got stuck and they had to evacuate from the bottom and climb back down. That's why they sent up the strongest ones in the first few trips.

Wonderful, wonderful news.

In reply to I can hardly breathe thinking

Looking at the little tube, I'd imagine 'stand'. Surely they got meds!!! though I can see they might not want to say that to the public just yet. Lotta praying going on on the ride up, I'd guess. But some hellish incentive to get in the capsule, eh?

I predict that this will

I predict that this will inspire a new ride at Six Flags.

In reply to What a great thing. It's

I can hardly breathe thinking about it. I wonder if they can sit down or if they have to stand the whole way?

P.S. Thank you for that BBC

I'm holding my breath. It's almost more than I can bear to watch as the capsule approaches the top.

Does anyone know who owns this mine? Is it privately owned or governement owned? I've been thinking about this a lot. I have a very hard time imagining a private mining company in the U.S. first providing the safe rooms apparently available to these men, and second, spending the money necessary to rescue them. This Chilean operation must have cost a huge amount of money.
