The first Chilean miner rescue

In case you missed it live on CNN, watch the first of 33 miners to be rescued in Chile.  Get ready to cry:







Aweee, that little boy is SO cute!



As of right now, 18 miners have been rescued and there are 15 more to go.  It's been almost 16 hours since the first rescue, and it's expected to continue until tomorrow.



The Telegraph in the UK reports Each miner has been given a pair of $450 Oakley sunglasses to protect their retinas from damage when they reach daylight after so long underground.  Plus, so they be lookin' gooood.



And apparently it's not all happy news for the families waiting to be reunited with their loved ones half a mile underground... at least five wives have been forced to come face to face with their husband's mistresses, who they had no idea about prior to the rescue operation.  One miner even has FOUR women fighting over him!



Hahaha, brutal.  I'm sure that guy is considering staying underground...
