I think should pay to be rescued. At least let them buy rescue insurance before they go up.

Getting out of Haiti was expensive for our church mission team.

Something about this is puzzling me, and maybe I’m just not aware of the extent of the mudslides. But I’ve been to Machu Picchu and you can actually walk down a switchback road to the town of Aquas Calientes in about an hour. Even if that road washed out, I’d think it would still be passable, but might take two or three hours instead.

My question is this, are these people just too pampered to walk down to the town?

And the article talks about running out of food and water. But when all these helicopters are flying in to pick up people, why don’t they also fly in food, water, tents and blankets?
