Chile Miners time trapped less than thought?

The Chile miners who have been trapped since August 5th got some good news. Engineers have said that they have come up with a "Plan B". This plan consists of getting a machine that is mostly used for drilling water holes could be used to get the miners out. This process could take up to two months instead of the original four months. http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/08/28/chile.miners/index.html

I think this is great! It's better to be out in two months instead of the original four months.

A Strata 950 bore is being used to reach trapped miners. A specialized device used for boring water holes is on its way.
