An adventuresome Google executive who once dated TV star Sophia Bush met a harrowing death on Mount Everest in a a series of valanches triggered by Saturday’s giant earthquake.

Dan Fredinburg, of San Francisco, was the only American confirmed by Saturday night to have died in the tragedy.

He died from head injuries when the avalanche slammed into his base camp, according to family members and a statement from Jagged Globe, the mountaineering company that organized his summit attempt.

“Today I, and so many of my loved ones, lost an incredible friend,” said Bush, who starred from 2003 to 2012 in The CW network show “One Tree Hill.”

Feinberg also helped start Save the Ice, an organization dedicated to raising awareness about global warming “through adventurous campaigns and events around the world,” according to its website.

How is it that his life/death is any more important than any one else?
Hell, he didn’t even have a wiki page.

Just the right amount, in that particular case.

Well, most of those who went there never thought of this kind of danger, they were thinking of the dangers of scaling the mountain. But sometimes nature’s menace comes to you.

If you think that's mean, how about "it's a start"?

I was talking about the Earth. It’s been a pretty brutal place on and off over 4 billion years.

Yeah, and when that happens, apparently, the last thing you think of is posting a clip of it on instagram. But if it were a gang rape or group beat-down, well that's another matter.

Don’t give a sh*t. I’ve known Marines who gave their lives for our freedom, and that counts a whole bunch more than some leftist, neo-commie freak that died for the collective good of the Google.

God, please grant me the opportunity to meet a Google mass-murdering leftist freak in a dark parking lot with no witnesses around.

I was reading about a project to create a solar powered poop digester in Kathmandu that would yield cooking and heating gas for the locals. What’s not to like, well assuming your technology is competent.
