BBC World Service reported this morning that they had been told that there was no chance of rescue for at least a few weeks and possibly quite some time thereafter. The report also mentioned that they will be sending anti-depressants down to the miners soon.

EDIT: BBC report

Wow Sad At least they have a method of communication with their loved ones, and sufficient food and everything. Hopefully they'll all pull through.

They might feel better if they got news the mine had been confiscated by their attorneys.
