Are we expecting this to be non stop rolling across Sky News and the BBC News channel over the next 24hrs or so?

NB - funny Matt Frei saying all the outlets the simulcast is going out on.


Aye, no pressure there then. Laughing


Didn't you already post this once? Either you need to get some sleep or I do.

He certainly got quite close to it. I thought the microphone might have caught light.

How big is this news story on a worldwide scale - 1-10 rated?

8 I'd say. Not 9/11 or a major terrorist attack, but in terms of worldwide reach, huge.

Has someone just been lowed in to the mine?

According to Sky the door on the escape shaft jammed during a test run - this has now been fixed.

No mention of this on the BBC. TVN claiming the capsule is on its way back up, and will then be sent back down with a rescue worker directly afterwards.
