I was up at 3am then (guess why?), and saw Nightline bring a live report about the miners being saved. Actually, I came in the middle of it, and thought it was an old video of the PA rescue. A couple was standing there saying that they got a call and rushed over, but couldn’t see the individuals because they needed to be checked. Nothing specific was being said. I wondered: is this real? Could they be dead and they don’t want to break the horrible news? I was informed the next day that they only found 1 alive, in critical condition. What is his status?
I hardly think the situation is laughable. They were intending to give great news about a near disaster, that in actuality turned out to be false. I would shame them if they rushed HORRIBLE news, which seems to be the standard for most news these days.
