The whole world, including ourselves with a large Falkland population of Chilean people, has been watching in hope and praying for the success of this mission”

The Falkland Islands government, like many others, send good wishes and congratulations to the survivors of a potential disaster and their rescuers. Argentinians whine and bitch about that. Enough said.
