Been watching on and off since the first rescuer went down and the first miner brought up. It has been heartening and fabulous!

It is inspiring to see so many nations involved and the world watching.

You guys have said it all.

Watching the live feed at work today on my Mac, with no announcer intruding with stupid comments, only the natural sound of the moment, hugs and tears uninterrupted by obnoxious commercials. It was like being there and sharing the emotions onsite. A great 24 hours!

Speaking of poor commentating, that new team of Parker and Spitzer were so out of their element when they cut away from the Salem Delaware debate to talk about this issue. Talking over everything with no substance.

It was so great to have everything turn out so well and again it was fascinating to watch and certainly glued me to the TV more than the regular scheduled program would be (see first paragraph)

I been jumping around different stations, from even different nations. I noticed broadcasts from here, the miracle comments is said regularly. In other nations it's more talk of the engineering. Just an interesting contrast I noticed.
