Looks like they are unscathed, though they still have to get them out.

Just after 7.30pm (AEST) tonight, the Beaconsfield Gold Mine company said Todd Russell, 35, and Brant Webb, 36, had been located and "indications are they are still alive".


I remember earlier this year of a mine collapse in America. 13 miners were trapped, and when they bought the first body out, the authorities said then that "indications are they are still alive". However, this was not the case and the remaining 12 had in fact perished.

I just hope that the scenario does not pan out, and quite frankly, the 'rescuers' should have kept their mouths shut until the miners had actually reached the surface.

Regardless, you just cant beat the "Aussie" spirit! The guys have been trapped for 8 days now and are still joking etc. Great stuff guys. Good luck!

And will apparently be down there another 2 days, as the digging has begun tonight, and probably won't see them out for 2 days.

Spotted Eddie chatting to Todd Russell at the Beacy pub tonight. Must have brought his cheque book for an outing.

If he's fit we might slot him into the side when Bucks retires!
