TV, Nova at 8pm EST, Rescue of trapped miners in Chile

[Rule3]

Nova does a good job on it's presentations and might be interesting for those who care. It's kind of a miracle IMO.

Sure has to be better than watching trying to stop a oil leak in the Gulf.

So OCD how did you like the show?,

Well I found it to be pretty incredible and learned things I had not seen or read in the news.

I'm glad they were rescued, but I don't find the whole thing terribly interesting, much less riveting to the degree that some apparently do.

I found Sunday night's show on Discover Science about the animals of the Burgess Shale 1,000 times more fascinating. I've never seen an animation of hallucigenia before. I'm not sure how accurate it was, given the disagreements about what it really looked like.

I only watched it live as it happened. Only two things that really terrorize me is like that thread we had on climbing that tower, and the other is being buried alive or trapped like ths! Comeing out of there must be just like being reborn! Several times in my life I thought I wasnt going to get out of this alive, and when you do it is so exzelerateing (sp?), and your knees knock so much you can hardly stand up! Good on these guys!

I figured all the folks from PA would be all over this. It was their drillers and rig that saved them.
