Good News: Down Unders Now Above Ground
The trapped Tasmanian miners are out at last. The news reports kept saying “two days,” “two days,” but in the end it was two weeks. So of course Webb & Russell walked out under their own power; they probably rode back up the elevator alone, too: after two weeks in a pit without a toilet or even a damp rag, I’m betting they stunk bad. These guys were very lucky, and not just because their circumstances at the time of the cave-in spared them: they also get to have a beer with the Foo Fighters.
