3. Anderson Cooper
just broke the news. He's almost speechless. I think he said the teams from Mexico and Germany were working there. He mentioned the text message, but he wasn't exactly sure how it came about or who received it.

4. Yeah. Who would think your choice of cell phone and whether you charged your battery that day
would determine whether you live or die. Very disturbing.

My Nokia battery life sucks and I'm always forgetting to charge it. On the other hand, I could use it until the battery ran out as a source of heat and then they might find me if they used a geiger counter.

9. These stories are great, but
it just makes me shudder to think of how many dozens? hundreds? of people are trapped and still alive, barely hanging on, with no hope for rescue. The terror seems unfathomable.
