Still wondering about Allex Ferreira, the bitcoiner photographer who was supposed to be planting a bitcoin flag at basecamp and had posted a lot of pictures from Nepal lately, who has not posted anything since just before the earthquake. As a photographer, I'd expect him to be doing his thing, but it's likely that wifi and so on is not available at basecamp, if he survived.

according to the yospos thread he planted a flag and hosed off two weeks ago

Oddly that's one of the smartest things people who go to Everest could do.

Why eat the rich when we can just send them to Everest and have Mother Nature take them out? Brb setting up the Koch brothers' expedition.

Planting a flag in a mound of frozen feces next to a dozen other tattered standards that nobody looks at or cares about. It's just like social media.

I don't know much about Everest, a lot of people are trapped some distance up the mountain, right? And they only have the supplies they brought with them, and now Everest is surrounded by a messed-up earthquake country?

Genuine question, what are the odds some people are gonna get eaten?

Probably pretty low, you can live for like three weeks without food. Exposure/freezing to death is gonna be their immediate concern.

But earlier in the thread people were saying that there were a lot of inexperienced climbers on Everest this year. So maybe some of them will jump the gun and eat someone before they really needed to?

Personally I'm hoping they decide to burn each other for warmth, but who knows, maybe we'll get lucky with a bit of cannibalism.

Here's a USGS-produced shakemap for the region.

Should mention that the damage column takes into account Western building standards. Areas in yellow are marked as "light" damage, but if stone buildings are the main type of construction you're going to see a lot of partial building collapses. They don't withstand shaking very well.

It's cheaper to eat them. Sends a better message too. Either way at the end of the day the mountain ate them and that's what matters.

The Christchurch quake spawned a more damaging aftershock months later. That icefall won't be stable (relatively speaking) for ages.
