From the latest I've seen, "We've located the miners and are checking their vital signs" was interpreted by the rescue command center as "We have miners that are showing signs of life". I'm sorry, but there's no excuse for any news to have left that command center until it was absolutely, positively 100% accurate and verified. Someone should have thought to ask "ARE THEY ALIVE...YES OR NO?".

God damnit...people hate bad news, but they hate being mislead or lied to even more!
