Rescue in Chile: The Greatest Show on Earth

*UPDATE: Here is another live video feed from MSNBC.com that works better. The WSJ feed freezes too often.

I have been spending the last hour watching the rescue of one of the 33 Chilean miners who are currently being pulled from their tomb of the last 70 days.

The Wall Street Journal has a live video feed from the rescue site, and the best part is that not only are there cameras trained on the winch where the rescue capsule comes to the surface, but there is also a camera set up 2,000 feet below the surface in the chamber where the men have been trapped all this time. You actually get to watch the rescued miner get suited up for the journey, and then the capsule ascends into the ceiling to the world above.

Hollywood, eat your heart out; these scenes are truly worth watching!
