o donnell struggling for an answer. the suit shot outside a high school in utah speaks out as he is released from the hospital. we ll speak to him on today, october 14th, 2010. welcome to today on this thursday morning. i m meredith vieira. i m matt lauer. you think about what this rescue operation achieved in chile. how long it took opposed to expectations and what the results were, it s flawless. did you watch last night? not up to the very end. until miner 31. i watched the last miner come out. as everybody said, it s truly as dramatic for the last as the first. a remarkable story. they thought it would take up to two days to bring the men to the surface. it actually took less than 24 hours when that last miner came out, a little past 9:00, i think. i amazing success. we were talking here yesterday morning, you had the rescue workers still there after the miners. imagine being the last rescue worker thinking, baby, don t break now. i m alone down here.
