Phew

I suppose everybody in the world's probably commenting on this, right now, but I can't help myself.

Good to see. And I'm ever so happy to be proved wrong. Think it must have been Saturday morning I heard a radio report to the effect that they were still down there, and it was going to be a while before help got to them, and thinking damn, that's it then, and what a way to die—aren't a lot of actually good ways to go, but suffocating in a cold, dark sealed chamber on the bottom of the ocean, that's definitely way down my list.

Nice from the international cooperation angle, too. Downright warms the heart of this Cold war baby.

(One minor quibble: is it just me, or are those 'Last gasp' headlines jes' a little tasteless?)
