It's a nasty tone for sure brought on by fret from the media and nothing else newsworthy. I cannot help to think the technology manpower and assets being used presently to search for them could have been used to patrol our open border to the south which would have a very positive effect.

I hope the potential rescuers are safe and the climbers are also safe, foolish as their climb might have been.
