So since the death pool and morbidity seems to really bother some people, can I at least ask that any future graphic photos get linked with appropriate tags? Spoilering doesn't always work and also think it's really dumb to have a big blank space in your post and that will at least quell some of the gruesomeness in this thread that usually gets probated elsewhere.

I'd rather have a choice, or even a heads up of the context, before I see shooting victims or close ups of exposed remains, but thats just me. Normal vague photos of far away clothed corpses don't bother me very much, but there have been plenty of worse images in these threads. I really appreciate that people here usually do warn about or link those gory photos rather than only post pictures of the dead bodies. Its a considerate thing to do. Im not like calling for anyone to be probated and I think I missed whatever post you all are referring to, so Im sorry if my post is absolutely missing the context. Its just nice not being surprised by it treasured8elief fucked around with this message at 05:41 on May 29, 2017 |

There's been enough whining about the death fetish status of this thread, I'm just laying one simple rule to curb some of it. I'm keeping the death pool. Just link corpses. I don't think it's unreasonable.

There's nothing morbid about this. You people only use that word to sound cool. You don't know the first loving thing about morbidity and what it all encompasses. You're just sad, depressed, hateful people who find solace in the fact that other people "didn't make it" while you remain, despite living in undoubted complete squalor and disgrace. The dead demand respect -- you, however, do not.

I mean, up there it once it probably is a question of survival, if your tent has been blown to four winds and you need shelter now you will likely just take if there's an empty one, but...

Yeah K2, an Italian party were in the guy's tent and when he confronted them they said something obnoxious like 'yesterday it was your tent , tomorrow it is your tent, today.....it is ours.' You almost have to admire their craven ways.

Doctor Malaver posted:I have an idea! Nepal could announce that say year 2020 will be a Year of Respect and that the season will be entirely devoted to removing all bodies from the mountain. There would be no summits that year. This is a neat idea and everything but the Nepalese government has shown time and time again that they rely on those paid climbing permits, and will issue as many as they can accept payment for. They've shown multiple times that they only care about Sherpa welfare and the environment only when it doesn't cost them directly. Again, I think this is a good idea and they should do this.

Maluco Marinero posted:Sure is, reminds me of some of a bad Sydney to Hobart (1998). It's a yacht race which used to have stunningly low safety standards for its competitors, such that many crew just didn't know how to operate a life raft, so when poo poo got real they'd make a ton of baffling errors that ultimately resulted in loss of life.

Arsenic Lupin posted:Am I thinking of a different race, or weren't they trapped under the life raft's floor and thus unable to hold on? It's difficult to say, I've heard that it was difficult to breathe in there too, but I'm trying to dig up records that say exactly what happened, and it gets real muddy because all sorts of details, critical details, get missed when half the evidence gets carried away and sinks to the bottom of the ocean. Most of the recollection of preparedness & events on the vessels that went down only lives on through the retelling of those who lived it. You see passages like this once you look around: quote:The crew tries hand-pumping for a few minutes but they can see it’s hopeless. Up until now, Stanley has taken only a casual interest in life rafts. He’s seen them demonstrated, but he’s never had to get into one. Richard Winning, John Stanley and Bruce Gould, the three most experienced sailors on board, decide not to inflate the rafts until the yacht’s deck is completely submerged. They want to wait till the very last minute, when the boats moving as slowly as possible. ...and you realise the event was inevitable, it was just a question of when the weather would collide with the race. Maritime inquiries involve a lot of effort and often struggle to get a clear indication of the truth of the story, especially because those interviewed usually are quite certain their actions were the right ones (or they wish to defend them as right). Yachting is a game full of unnecessary machismo, especially in those days, and there is a not insignificant portion of the yachting community who are too cowboy to take safety training seriously. You can pretty much guess what happens when poo poo gets real and it's hard to turn the weather off when one's 100 miles out to sea. edit: as an aside I don't believe any of these men or women sailing deserve to die, or don't have legit grievances at the quality of their liferafts or whatever, however deaths at sea almost never have singular 'freak' causes, they're created through a combination of factors, many of which can be controlled, yet for societal reasons are not, whether it's the richie rich machismo of racing, the glorification of solo yachties.

Fastnet blurb posted:In August 1979, 303 yachts began the 600-mile Fastnet Race from the Isle of Wight off the southwest coast of England to Fastnet Rock off the Irish coast and back. Fatal Storm blurb posted:the Sydney to Hobart yacht race is one of the world's major sporting events. In 1998, it became one of the world's major sporting disasters. Six sailors tragically perished and numerous yachts sank or were badly damaged. the subsequent search and rescue operation was one of the most phenomenally accomplished peacetime effortsthe world has ever seen. In this fully updated edition to mark the 10th anniversary of the tumultuous race, Rob Mundle, one of Australia's leading journalists and yachtsmen, tells this story of challenge and survival with compassion, vigour and understanding. Drawing from extensive interviews with officials, crews, survivors and rescue service personnel, he relates like no other the calamity and triumph of the 1998 blue water classic. 'Mundle's portrayals of courageous sailors and heroic rescuers fighting for their lives are as vivid as any I have read.'- John Rousmaniere, author Fastnet, Force 10

I read The 54th Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race Along similar lines, tales of terror and derring-do in arctic/antarctic exploration are great.

I also liked The Terror despite it having some supernatural components. It's a fictionalized account of Captain Sir John Franklin's lost expedition of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror to the Arctic, in 1845–1848, to force the Northwest Passage. Really it's the historical first half that shines - the part of the expedition before the ships disappeared with no trace. Nobody knows what happened after a certain point. https://www.amazon.com/Terror-Novel-Dan-Simmons/dp/0316008079
