Chilean Miners May be Freed By Wednesday

From Fox News: Chile's mining minister said Saturday night that the 33 miners trapped for more than two months will probably be pulled out starting Wednesday.
That's because the rescue team has decided to reinforce less than 315 feet of the rescue shaft in steel pipe.
The rest of the escape shaft is exposed rock, and the rescue team has decided it's strong enough to provide for a smooth ride for the miners' escape capsule.

I hope everything goes well and nothing bad will happen in the last 4 days or so of the rescue. Afterwards, there is going to be a time for celebration and a time for rehabilitation. Just because the men are not in the mine still doesn't mean they are out of harm physically and mentally.
May God bless those miners and rescuers in the final few hours in the mine and that nothing will go bad.
