Deaths in Nepal

Agreed. It was bad luck. It´s not that “they don’t know any better”, or that they should stick to Taiwan mountains. Fuck that. They had problems with a snowfall and she fell. Come on, who hasn’t ever fell, even on the street?

I will read the full story later, but again, anybody can fall in the mountain or from the bed.

It is pretty impressive they survived 40+ days alone in the mountains though.

Even the best can fall and die over there.

Exactly. And you can have an accident even in front of the door of your house

He was really not lucky with Everest. He first ran into problem with the Sherpa maffia:

and now that :frowning:

What was the argument about?

Some ice fell on their heads they thought he was pushing ahead too much and putting them in danger…one side of the story anyway…by all accounts the guy was at the extreme end of the sport.
I saw a video of his record breaking either summit…woah. He did say he could do it under two hours if he really took life and death risks!

Hmm something similar to Indonesia now ?

It’s also very interesting TikTok is still operating, Chinese interference?

In July, the government of Kenya was also actively shooting students and other protestors in Nairobi.

It’s not been a great year has it.

Guy

i dont know why govts these days are shooting protestors. Tien an men is still a sore in china that will one day come out. Was it need to shoot protesters? Or just let it die out.

The videos are insane.

The before during and after images are unimaginably horrific.

“A fascinating element of this is the source of the huge volume of water. This may be a combination of ice that converted to water as a result of the release of energy from the initial collapse, water embedded in the sediments that were entrained en route and river water. But I am speculating. There is no evidence that this was a GLOF.”

Global warming is a hoax!

I think the debate (on the far right) is more about whether it’s manmade or not. The overall warming is pretty much evident based on available data, I think.

The moment China’s border crossing building was wiped out.


The Chinese
Pulled out their help. Last I knew, as another lake looked
About to break free. :weary_face:

Probably not a great place to build anything.
