family and friends are waiting to heart first siren and hoping to see the face of the first miner to be lifted to the surface. the rescue official to be lowered down to the shelter 700 meters underground to where the miners are is currently checking to make sure that the capsule is safe. safe to be lowered down into the tunnel. the tunnel is 620 meters long. about 54 meters wide. the width of a person's shoulders. the trip will take 15 minutes one way. officials had said that about two days will be needed to rescue all of the men. miners who are confirmed healthy will be reunited with their families. it appears to be -- it appears that the officials are checking the oxygen masks. there have been oxygen masks and tanks installed inside the capsule. the first medic to be lowered down into the shelter where the 33 miners have been trapped for almost two months, he is getting ready to make the descent. it seems that the harness is being placed over his shoulders currently. we can see that they're preparing for his descent. it can be -- it can be assumed that this capsule will be lowered

so a smooth first run with avalos. a couple observations. first, striking how fit he was. he was strong to deal with problems on the first time up. he looked pretty darned good for a man underground for more than two months. shaking hands, and moving with vigor. before being put on a stretcher and taken to the hospital. and other thing i noticed is that you know a hardened heavy set miner there when he saw his comrade coming up couldn't hold back tears. this is really moving everybody here. and then, finally, what this must do to morale down below to see one of their own coming to the surface, successfully. it's got to send a thrill all the way down. that second rescuer gets ready to go down to offer more encouragement and aid to the 32 miners left below. greta, boou. >> greta: steve, stand by. dave was in charge of the cue creek mine rescues in twut z he joins us live. ed, you watched this, compare it to what happened in 2002. how is it different? tell me what you think. >> right now my emotions are probably as high as anyone there. brings back a lot of memories to wacht

up first, women in congress. first lady michelle obama will be hitting the campaign trail to raise money and stoke support for embattled congressional candidates as the white house reaches out to women and other des pont-- despondent progressive voters. the reason for the push is for the first time in three decades the number of women in congress could actually decline this year even though record numbers of new female candidates are running. women represent more than half the u.s. population, but hold a mere 17% of congressional seats. >> something seems fundamentally wrong when 523% of the u.s.-- 52% of the u.s. population is women but only 17% of the u.s. congress are, especially considering that we go into other countries and encourage 25% gender quotas in their governments. this is a standard we've never come close to achieving ourselves. and that suggests to women that the political system is not open to them. >> anti-incumbent sentiment, an unpopular democratic president, and the advent of tea party candid

those miners' first contact with a human being from the outside world, first direct contact in more thans during this rescue as you have covered it. what really stands out for you? >> reporter: what stands out for me is when the first miner, florencio avalos made it to the top. the reason it was so significant is because we weren't 100% sure that this would be successful. it was very nerve-racking. once we knew that -- the capsule started moving, we watched the wheel turn the clockwise position, which means it was coming up, and we watched the rope being pulled, we knew it would take 15 to 17 minutes for florencio to make it to the top. but time went so slowly. when we saw the capsule come above the hole and saw this man in the cage, it was just amazing. not only did we know that this man was safe, but it made us realize that we didn't need to be as tense. that there was good cause to know that it was going to be successful. >> i sort of felt watching television throughout the day, i felt bad for the miners, excitement for some of the spectators around the world had waned. for people the
