I'm very interested in this real life tragedy, where eight people lost their lives in climbing Mount Everest in 1996.
Sadly, four of the people who were killed are highlighted here,but at the same time, it's also a remarkable survival story. One of the team:Beck Weathers, was left for dead, yet he managed to survive. All of them were caught in the worst storm ever recorded on Everest, and the aftermath led to an intense scrutiny of who should be allowed to make future attempts to climb Mount Everest.
It's always sad to read about people losing their lives in any mountaineering feat, but every climber has to accept the risks.
