I was watching a show about this particular avalanche. People die in that particular area all the time. Building sized chunks of ice are constantly shifting, breaking and falling over. It is what it is.

I know, right? Because the Khumba icefall has aways been so safe until now.

Here is a solution — install miles and miles of chicken wire and mesh to catch any of those chunks of ice. That way it will make it safe.

Seriously, it is a tragedy when a race car is injured or dies. But we all realize that the risk comes with the job. Climbing Everest is no different.
