On April 18th, shortly before 7 A.M. local time, an overhanging wedge of ice the size of a Beverly Hills mansion broke loose from the same ice bulge that had frightened Brice into leaving Everest in 2012.

As it crashed onto the slope below, the ice shattered into truck-size chunks and hurtled toward some fifty climbers laboring slowly upward through the Khumbu Icefall, a jumbled maze of unstable ice towers that looms above the 17,600-foot base camp.

The climbers in the line of fire were at approximately nineteen thousand feet when the avalanche struck. Of the twenty-five men hit by the falling ice, sixteen were killed, all of them Nepalis working for guided climbing teams. Three of the bodies were buried beneath the frozen debris and may never be found.

They seemed to be taking it pretty calmly. I'd have been running around like a headless chicken, panicking!

Awww damn.

Wouldn't surprise me if they're never found. Needle in a haystack. Heard of bodies being left out in the open before on mountains, in areas where it's too dangerous to stay for long to retrieve them.
