My prayers are out to the families and to the remaining two climbers that they might be found alive and unharmed.

1. Did you really think nobody else would have posted that yet?

5. Uh no, I thought I'd posted this as a reply to another thread.

Oh well, sorry to get your feathers in a ruffle about something so simple...

4. Me neither. Even tho I already knew, maybe someone else didn't.

3. We all dupe sometimes... tonight though seems to be...

a pretty snarky night for DU. Lots of folks seem on edge....

I too, am very sorry about the one climber...You're probably lucky you haven't seen some of the posts, though, AllyCat... Lots of "blaming the victim" stuff.

6. a shame but

it wasn't a great idea to try and climb Mt. hood in the winter, this mountain has a bad reputation for many deaths in the past.

12. Of course you climb in the winter.

And who wants to surf small waves?

Or drive slow cars?

Or ride plodding horses?

Or date docile women/men?

Give me some excitement.

Those guys died (and they are dead - count on it) doing what they loved.

I certainly hope that I have that pleasure.

14. Elvis died doing what he loved

It doesn't make his death any more meaningful.

[TomInTib]

15. Elvis loved sitting on the toilet?

I knew he was a weird mofo, but what is WEIRD.

And I didn't say anything about meaningful, I just want to go out while I am having a large time.

16. Evis died of a massive MI while taking a dump...

:shrug:

Did he have a personal satisfaction only derived from his bowel movements?

7. Thank you for the info, I didn't know. I feel so sorry for the families

9. Can you imagine what it would be like if we gave Iraq War deaths the same kind of coverage?

How long do you think this war would have lasted?

[Skittles]

11. it is something, isn't it?

the priorities are really off

[Redneck Socialist]

10. Damn, that's too bad

I know (from experience) that there wasn't much chance that they would be alive at this point, but one can always hope.
