An Excerpt from an article Suzanne wrote for this site:
“Tears stream down my face. It cannot be. The disbelief reverberates on the mountain. Jagged Globe, a British guide service, radios in to Dave, requesting to aid in the rescue attempt. Dave Hahn a respected guide also offers up aid. Luanne dutifully inquires about the injured. As the camp doctor, she is the only one with immediate acceptance. My face is hot. It isn’t from the sun.
Dave continues his report. There are four others who were injured. None appear serious. In conclusion, Dave announces that all four are making their way back to Base Camp and will be reporting in to the Himalayan Rescue Association clinic within the next two hours. I can’t believe that is it. I stand up. I want to shout. I want to run up ahead and dig the boys out. Dead can’t mean dead? Dave can’t be serious. Surely we can rescue them. My gut tightens, my head swerves, and my tears blind me. I want something more. I want closure, lightening, thunder, a full gale wind, or the earth to stop rotating. I want something to signify the event. It all happened so quickly, so quietly and now it is over. Game over? Done. Three are dead, four injured and I stand there, helpless.”
