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.

One less vote for Hillary.

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.

That's putting it into perspective.

The Media worships itself.

You would only pollute your soul that’s why God probably won’t.

KEEP OUT OF DA BUSHES!!!!!!

The popular song is that Marines gave their lives for our freedom, but with the general adventurism of recent decades that has been vitiated. Does this translate into an imperative to try to colonize the whole world by perpetual police action?

Trekking in Nepal is how a lot of progressive types like to spend their vacations.

omg go have a cold one out on the porch, hombre.

[HiTech RedNeck]

The point is Marines are only as good as what they are sent to do...

A yuppie fad... I wonder who will open the first Starbucks on those slopes?

“Not even gonna ask if he was a decent person or a registered Democrat....”

Gaia does not discriminate.

Heh heh, MAYBE

I could see the initial Everest conquest when it proved a point, that mankind could do that.

When it became a private vanity quest, not so much.

Climbing out of the valley surrounded by mountains of sin is the quest that makes sense.

I was wondering the same thing.

My sister’s best friend has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She and her husband own a well-known multi-national company and has NOT wanted her illness known. Devout Christians and the sweetest people you’d ever meet.

Every life is important....no matter where we come from.

This guy found out how insignificant man is the hard way.

[Huskrrrr]

“When it became a private vanity quest....”

Yes, I agree, especially when you risk leaving behind a widow and children.

[MeshugeMikey]

thank you jesse!!

[MuttTheHoople]

Bush’s fault.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Just the right amount, in that particular case.

We have a winner.

You’ve posted enough, some would say. Give it a rest.
