Quake














Pics of the damage in Kathmandu.

My mind goes back Krakauer's description of the Khumbu icefall just above base camp. The route was changed this year along the icefall, a Nepalese mandate after last season's avalanche killed 15 in the area of the red line marking the previous route.

Perhaps that decision alone saved some people this time?

A Google exec died.  The names of 2K more down the mountain haven't been released.
