sounds devastating 

i wonder how much sherpas make so people can climb the mountain.

[guncrasher]

the 12 killed were all sherpa guides.  that makes me wonder, how many people go back to their countries and and tell everybody how the conquered the tallest mountain in the word and everybody high fives them for their bravery.  while the sherpas go back home and the wife ask "how was your day" and they reply "so I climbed mt everest, again, just another boring day at the office."

"A Sherpa typically earns about $US125 ($134) per climb per legal load, which the government has set at about 9 kilograms, though young men will double that to earn more, guides say. Raised on stories of wealth earned on expeditions, they also have very little choice, coming from remote places where there is little opportunity other than high-altitude potato farming."

Hmm. I have a good deal more sympathy for the Sherpas than for the tourists.
