The CNN Chilean Miner Live Stream has the 21st Chilean Miner rescued and now there are more above ground than below ground. There are just 12 miners below ground at 1:02 PM PDT, and at this rate, the process of rescuing all of the Chilean Miners trapped below ground for 68 days will be successfully complete by this evening.
The 21st Miner is 50 year old Yonni Barrios (photo by CNN), who, according to CNN, assumed the role of medical contact for the Chilean Miners. 43 year old Samuel Avalos will be the 22nd miner raised from 2,700 feet below the surface of the earth in Chile.
The process started Tuesday night, almost 18 hours ago as of this writing, as Florencio Avalos, the miner in the best condition, went up first. He was followed by the colorful Mario Sepulveda, who handed rocks from down below to Chilean President Sebastian Pinera, and hugged everyone in sight.
CNN's Finest Hour
It must be said this was CNN's best coverage of an event by far. Everyone from the floor producers to the anchors on all of CNN's programs is to be congratulated for providing excellent coverage.
Stay tuned.
