Number 9 (the oldest miner at 63 years) has just reached safety, although is to be rushed off to hospital over a health issue. Can't help but feel for these guys can you?

Miner number 11 on his way to the surface as I type this. Apparently there are something like 1 billion people throughout the world watching this rescue!

He's now up there safe and sound, with the journey time (the lift that is) taking about 12 minutes or so.

Hope things continue to progress safely.
