So, Indian Army confirms 18 dead at basecamp, another suggests at least 10 dead, and 40 seriously wounded - with estimates now close to 1000 dead in the affected regions."Eric Arnold describers the earthquake scene at Everest BC posted:"Lying in my tent seems like someone is shaking my tent, a joke Ritchie I think. Not much later, the shaking of the tent over in the shaking of the ground. Harder and harder. I realize earthquake !! When I opened my tent zipper I see three sides gigantic avalanches come down. Behind me from the Lingtren from the icefall and Pumori. The avalanche from the Icefall-Nuptse is gigantic. Not much later I realize that the cloud base camp is going to hit. Arnold beckons me, come to the mess tent. I run the 20 feet to the tent, mid avalanche cloud touches me. I am totally lost direction and walk against Moulay his tent. Then I storm into the tent. My ears are filled to the brim with snow. In five seconds, I look like the abominable snowman. It is now an hour after the avalanche. Details about the victims, I do not know. Our plan to walk to Pumori BC was not happy today. From which side was a huge avalanche." There are some conflicting reports of C1 and C2, with people fleeing from avalanches that skirted the camps. Southside seems to have been the most seriously threatened and I can't find any reports of which teams were on those routes or their situation. Amazingly, All climbing teams on Annapurna reported safe, which seems pretty amazing given it was closer to the epicenter, and loves to crush puny humans with rocks and snow.

I can imagine some of the massive buildup of faeces/corpses/rubbish getting dislodged by this quake, so I guess "poo poo Mountain" was trying to clean itself?

It's so crazy to me, as someone who was born and raised in Southern California to hear about these earthquakes. 7.8 in LA would be a horrible disaster, but I doubt more than a 100 people would die. It just reminds me how loving lucky I was to be born in a rich country, and how incredibly hosed up the world is.

drilldo squirt posted:If you can't see the difference dude, I don't know what to tell you. One was not predictable, thus suitable for mockery and the other entirely predictable, with victims who understand and willingly accept the danger and therefore not? I mean, I can see you're kind of a loving idiot but your reasoning here seems a lot less transparent than you think. It's a matter of statistics, and the pretty natural human fascination for risk taking, mortality and the inevitable train-wrecks on one side, and amazing human accomplishment on the other. It also doesn't stop it from being sad and unfortunate, much like your shitposting.
