There is no arguments here but i am not going to stand by and watch some idiot insult our soldiers.
There is a video where he said that few bodies have been pulled out, on 3rd or 4th day.
It was posted in the thread, though he didn't number them.
Question to photographers, why does the snow look all dirty compared to the snow in the background?
Is the background snow so bright that the camera is compensating the foreground by making it too dull?
May be because some heavy machine operated near that snow.. it make it bit dark because of carbon particles..
This shows continuous use of heavy machinery to remove snow. We do have many avalanche at Mount Rainier (no so bed) so I know how this work in this environment ..
Still wonder why not using vertical drilling...

The best way is to report the offending post and not respond here. Mods will take care of it.
VC - Sometimes emotions run high especially when such sad news is apon us and its difficult at times to absorb. Even yourself attempted to troll a couple of days trying to get your beloved USA brownie points pointing out to us that they were helping - yet China were not so please practice what you preach.

Lots of boulders and an ever present danger of the surface caving in to the cavity.
US assistance for the recovery is a fact. I do not fall prey to such emotionalism. Sorry.
However, I am sure we can take up that discussion elsewhere, but not in this thread.
I go back to my question: If a few bodies have been recovered, as rumored, then why no public burials?
It was misinformation, no bodies have been recovered thus far. BTW, the American team is still in Isl, they could not be transported to the site due to bad weather.
That is quite right, below the surface the exact composition of the aggregate can be rather indeterminate. Certainly it is not a homogeneous mass and most of all, the sub-surface ice may be in different flow states which can cause unexpected movements.
One method to confirm that is to draw 'core-samples' through narrow sample bore-holes. However that method is not perfectly infallible. All in all, not an easy situation.
I hope recovery beings soon, for the real tough task begins only then for all.
My point was that USA offered help, and was accepted too. We have to be fair in recognizing that, that is all.
