AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY CLIMB EVEREST
Me neither! If Sacramento is too cold for me I don't think I'd do well on Everest
For orhers, Sacramento would be too hot. How great rhat we r not all the same
Great article.. kudos to john branch for writing this.. superlative writing and fantastic photographs.. the article was sensitive toward both the victims and the rescuers.. very well balanced.. can't praise the article enough
Also, my thoughts with the families of the victims and all the explorers who had lost their lives... may their souls rest in peace and their families find peace.. again..thanks for bringing out this story to us @nytimes @JohnBranchNYT
Best piece of journalism this year
“I’ve almost quit this job because there are so many ways to DIE.” Omg, this one is very touching. My deep condolences to the familys.
Awesome 
What about the Tons of garbage and waste left behind by rescuers and initial unqualified exhibitions. ??
Such beautiful imagery!
Amazing story!!!
....And their remains are lying along the 'way' up..still preserved, because of the cold, in the 'higher' altitudes..And, noone can retrieve them, as they're struggling to live, themselves, as they 'pass' their bodies..Grim..
I wasn’t ready, yet I read to the end. Don’t know what to feel
I’ve enjoyed this master piece.
How selfish of people. Ooohh i want to climb as high as i can go, look mommy, look daddy, see what i can do.. AND NOW IM DEAD.. Leaving behind mourning family members all because you just had to show us all how high you could climb.. Selfish.. I feel sorry for the families.
