FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
On Friday Sherpas were moving the latest four victims to Camp Three and were
hoping to send them by helicopter to the Nepali capital Kathmandu.
In a telephone interview from Everest base camp, survivor Song Young-il said
he and his friend had reached the summit at 7am with three Sherpas and were
making their descent when they became stuck at the perilous ‘Hilary’s Step’,
the major obstacle between the summit and South Col, three hours below.
“Then there were so many people. There were 300 to 400 people going to
the summit and we got stuck in a traffic jam. We had to wait 200 metres from
the summit and we became snow blind. We waited for four hours. We couldn’t
see.
“We started to come down, slowly, slowly, with the help of our Sherpas.
It was hard because we couldn’t see anything. It took too long and after
that we became crazy,” he said.
Loben Sherpa, one of the expedition leaders, explained that as hypothermia and
snow blindness set in, the men’s brains started ‘working unusually.’ “At
8500 metres, your brain stops working and you start losing consciousness,
because of lack of oxygen, waiting for four hours, hypothermia,” he
said.
He believes Song Wong-bin’s team may have been caught by traffic because they
had made their ascent so early and were halted on their way down.
The three Sherpas in their team were helping the climbers down towards South
Col on the notorious ‘Balcony’ when “the other Korean collapsed and
died. he died because he had to wait for so long, in my opinion. If you have
to wait that long at that altitude it’s very dangerous,” he said.
The surviving five members of the Korean team were upset, he said, but
philosophical. “It’s not a good feeling when someone dies, but everyone
who comes to Everest knows the risks, it’s 50-50 die or live. This area,
above South Col, has been recognised as the ‘dead zone’ and it is very risky,”
he added.
