The rescue of four climbers stuck on Mount Rainier has been thwarted for three days by high winds and bad weather conditions. Efforts are expected to resume today.

The rescue of four climbers stuck on Mount Rainier in Washington state have been thwarted for three days by high winds and bad weather conditions, but efforts are expected to resume on Thursday.

The four climbers -- Yevgeniy Krasnitskiy, Ruslan Khasbulatov, Vasily Aushev and Kostya"Constantine" Toporov -- started climbing Mount Rainier in Washington on May 31, according to a park press notice, but high winds forced them to stop on the Liberty Ridge route. A helicopter located the climbers again on Tuesday, and they'd only been able to descend 250 feet, and a significant distance from the dropped supplies, to a"more sheltered, but still precarious, position," according to the release.

Don’t risk lives on idiots they’ll be fresh on ice

That’s not good

When i see these things i wonder why people go about testing their skills just for the sake of saying they did it. is dying or destroying parts of your body worth the words.

May they be charged with the full cost of the operation.

Mexico Detains More Migrants Amid U.S. DisputeMexico has stepped up apprehensions of Central American migrants seeking to get to the U.S. to help contain the migrant surge that has angered the Trump administration. We should use the tariffs to build the wall. Maybe that’s what Donny Cheeto had in mind? Wanting less immigration is not an “extremist” position. The majority of American voters want current immigration levels cut by over 50%! Of 27 nations surveyed, not ONE had a majority that supported increasing immigration. 12 had majorities that supported reducing immigration about time...and lets send them back over as a families and heck as a large group

Doctor accused of killing 25 patients with fatal doses of pain medicationAn Ohio doctor has been charged with 25 counts of murder for allegedly ordering fatal doses of pain medication for patients while working as a critical-care physician. This... is scary. If he's helping patients mercifully end their lives, let him go. Is he the one personally administrating the medication? If not don’t you think the nurses called him out on it? This is despicable. I’m quite sure a nurse manager would know to question him on this high dose. Either way, I’m not condoning what he did. I hope justice is served
