Number 13 came out hugging everyone and jumping up and down with delight, and then climbed on the stretcher and was covered in blankets and carried away.

They say they can bring one up an hour, so another 23 hours to go at that rate, barring refusals.

8 down (or up) and 25 to go, unless some stay behind. This could go on for some time. The News channels are still in wall-to-wall coverage mode, will they have the endurance to see this through to the end? Even when other news is being reported, the screen is split so that no mine coverage is missed. I gather there are thousands of media people on site.
