chile miners rescue bbcnews24 or sky news

[Me Fang You]

Just when you dig yourself out of one hole..

they'll just keep rumbling on and on and on and on and on.......

Fully agree with this.

And this.


And this. Very nicely put, I was one who thought that the rescue wouldn't go anywhere as smooth as I did, but I am so pleased to be proved wrong. Anyone asking why the lengthy coverage should refer to stargazer's post.
I do agree with some posts criticising the blanket-type coverage on programmes that normally deal with all types of news stories but I felt the BBC got round this very well by having the full coverage of the rescue on the BBC News 24 and have the usual news coverage on the Breakfast and other news programmes on BBC1. It was extraordinary and amazing to watch; IMO it was an event like 9/11 but with a happy ending

BBC news: "it will start imminently in two hours"

I'm watching on Sky.......hoping it all goes to plan

Wasn't it really sweet when the President took a call from our Dave Cameron. It was like he (Chilean President) was just sharing the news with an old mate. Very touching and all very exciting.

If only the BBC had covered the Commonwealth Games this well!

 

[Wowww]

Oh yeah I heard about that, was nice of him

Good ol' Dave.

The Chilean president is coming to the UK next week. It will be interesting to see the reaction he gets. I suspect it will be good, and rightly so.

......... also a thread in General.

When I first saw all of those miners celebrating my first thought was that Thatcher had died

 

[HELP ME! 123]

The irony is, that she isn't very well is she. Maybe the sight of all those miners has done her in. Perhaps her present situation is the beginning of the end.

I hope it's a good reaction too.
