Had to smile a while ago - the BBC's Chris Eakin was commenting on how incredible an experience it was to be watching the live pictures, and he said it's 'just like reality TV'.
 
I am liking the way this whole operation is proceeding cautiously...no rush, just check and re-check. A few extra hours will make little difference. Much better than the 'gung-ho' approach
 
Tim Wilcox has started to channel Martin Brundle doing his Formula One grid walk now.

Just waiting for him to find a Sky news reporter to push out of the way to get an interview...
 
Are people really still watching this?

I'm all for good news and the operation has been an engineering marvel but it's all a little repetitive isn't it? Or are people just watching for something to go wrong?
 
The footage has bought tears to my eyes. Can you imagine what it must have been like to see someone new for the first time in two months and knowing that it's all going to be over soon?
 
Shots of people on the streets of Chile all waving Chilean flags : it has obviously become a huge story and matter of national pride and fervour.
 
Penultimate rescuer now being pulled to the surface. How on earth does that last man standing feel, all on his own, and so far from the surface? Get him up quickly rescuers.
 
Isn't the advertising on the Sky Website, like that on RAB. i.e. your browser decides what you get based on location and browsing history etc.

When I go to the Sky News website I get a discount voucher for a restaurant near me and cheap flights from a nearby airport, that would be useless for anyone who doesn't live in my area.
 
I think, given the professionalism shown so far in dealing with all aspects of the rescue, including the medical neeRAB, that the psychological neeRAB will also be addressed when and if they occur.

and I agree...it has been a most uplifting day!

and here we go...the capsule arrives for Luis
 
The Chileans should be extremely proud of their achievements. As you say, excellent rescue, reunion and aftercare. All brilliantly controlled and calm, and rightly so.

The 15th is up.:)
