I watched this whole mess unfold.....
The first reports that 12 miners had survived came from the families waiting in the church- and every media source I saw said they got the story from the families.
Someone involved with the rescue heard a garbled message and got on a cell phone and broke the "news" to the families.
That person is now being very, very quiet.
If ya wanna blame someone, there's lots of blame to go around:
1. The person who called the families.
2. The media, for not getting a second source before reporting the false news
3. the mining company was told the real news, but didn't tell the families for 3 hours, by the companies own admission.
