It is great to see the faces of those men that we are going to bring home. We have food going to them now, we have communications to them now. You have seen this morning that we have multiple approaches to the rescue. It's a good morning.

It is fantastic...Two locations identified (for vertical drilling). We are going to rescue these men. 41 men are going to be coming home and no one is going to be hurt, that's the mission."
