By the way, if you give to one of the charities, see if your employer has a donation matching program in place. My employer matched my donation dollar for dollar.

fuctifino posted:As someone who appears to be in a potentially terminal health decline myself, I have no issues with laughing at the deaths of climbers stupid enough to climb Everest. The deaths in the towns and the cities though, that's another matter and not part of the death pool. you were given the gift of perspective by having a life severely altered and potentially truncated by health issues, and still decided to waste it fighting the loving dumbest most meaningless battles possible. what's a bigger waste of life, somebody who dies trying to attempt a vainglorious physical feat, or some stupid, miserable oval office who wastes their life protesting scientology from their motorised wheelchair well into their 40s, posting about bitcoins and obsessively celebrating the deaths of others?

Beep Street posted:I think it might take a few days for the scale of this disaster to be realised once they count up how many are missing. Whatever happened on everest is just a footnote compared to the thousands of people killed in the towns and cities. Homes lost. Livelihoods lost. Families decimated. A few dozen/hundred dead tourists on a rock doesn't compare to that.

Well I wonder how far the toll goes over the next day or two. 25+? How trapped are the people in the upper camps? Were routes destroyed during this event?

Yes agreed that's even better than an avalanche. Dive deaths are not funny though, there is no comedy in drowning.

onemanlan posted:Well I wonder how far the toll goes over the next day or two. 25+? Considering they're reporting 18 dead just at Base Camp, it's probably going to be pretty bad. There are reports that the Icefall route has been severely damaged/destroyed, so people are indeed trapped in the higher camps: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/04/25/massive-avalanche-slams-into-everest-base-camp-following-nepal-earthquake/ When things get more organized, they might be able to use helicopters to help get people out, but I'm sure more efforts are being focused in Kathmandu and the other towns that have literally hundreds of dead and trapped people.
