Wow. They're pulling the miners out at a rate of one every half hour now. It's an astounding effort. At this point, there's no more than 2 minutes between the capsule hitting the chamber floor and it being back on its way up with the next miner inside.
The part that gets me the most (well, besides the reunion with family) is the moment the capsule is close enough for the surface that the rescuers can yell down to and hear back from the rescuee.
Just 5 miners and the 2 rescue personnel left down there now.
