Trapped in a mine that had caved in

When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale
Were Joe and me
Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go
Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know
Hungry as hell no food to eat
And Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
And Joe said to me, I'll have a swig
And then there's some for you
Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do
I must have blacked out just around then
'Cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around
To finding Timothy
Timothy...

If the story I just watched on the news is the same as this one then apparently twelve miners where not long ago saved from a US mine collapse.
It looks like they wont have to eat little Tim after all. Although there are legends and myths about how consumption of properly prepared human flesh does amazing things for the eater (think of wendigos) though it's also apparently quite addictive. Kind of like pringles. Once you chop, you just can't stop.
Well this is awful, they said earlier that 12 miners were found alive, and they showed the families rejoicing and in the last 10 minutes they annouced that was a mistake and only ONE miner was found alive. How horrible that this misinformation broadcast happened.
Oh dear, how can they get it THAT wrong? Terrible business, and my post is proved incorrect mere moments after it's typed.
Most likely....

the media is completely disfunctional. people expect them to
maintain accuracy in politics, and they cant even get this right.
how the HELL can you hear "only one survivor found" and mistake
that for "12 survivors found"
"who cares, just air it"
most of these people are not fit to be side order chefs
I think they are saying the error is that someone heard someone say that they had found 12 miners, and erroneously assumed this meant 12 miners who were still alive. In fact, most were dead.
But someone is certainly at fault here for trying to get the scoop by spreading that news before any official comment came.

but thats just it. someone heard someone say something, so they said it and everyone said it.
and nobody checked the official source.
First of all, the media was not to blame for this I don't think. When the president of the company spoke last night he said what happened was that one of the rescue team erroneously reported that 12 were alive and that, the word that these guys were alive came from the actual command center itself. The media basically reported what they were told as they were at the church with the loved ones.
What I would like to know is why it took THREE HOURS for the loved ones to be informed of the mistake when according to the company president they found out the error TWENTY MINUTES later?
