They are going to have one heck of a story to tell the grandkids! They are able to get food and water, so as long as nobody gets sick or injured, it looks like they'll make it!

I bet they are already working on a "made for TV" movie about this.

Wow, I'm glad to hear all of them are doing alright. It's nice they can at least make some contact and can hear other peoples voices.

I'm following the story (YES, they really should make a TV movie!!). They were there for 19 days before rescue people could get to them, and the first thing they asked for was toothbrushes. There is about a 6 inch wide hole through the mile of rock that is blocking them. Those poor guys don't know yet that it is going to take so long. Evidently a team of psychiatrists figured that it would be best not to tell them at this point.
