yep, the unfortunate thing about it was that I picked the story up on the FOX (Rupert Murdoch owned) news-station and all the chatter from the talking heads was about a possible increase in the price of gold on the global markets , no mention on the fate of the trapped workers

According to the BBC news they can only bring 75 at a time up so its going to be a while before they can get all out.
