You, my friend, are so ignorent. To post a comment like that is heartlesss and shows your serious lack of intelligence. Yes, our military Men and Women are dying but they, like Mr. James, chose to be in the Military.

He was a well educated contributor to society. Unlike you, I would imagine, who is probably sucking the government, blaming everyone else for your unhappiness and problems.

Myself and many other intelligent people are interested in this story. They have families, and we all make choices and take risks. At least his family can say take comfort in the fact that he LOVED life. That is rare.

To the man who wrote"second hand wife" Well, I would rather be a second hand wife, than read your ignorent, angry emails. I can only assume this sort of hate and anger comes from a poor childhood, lack of self confidence, and general unhappiness with your worthless lives, and the jelousy you must feel toward 3 people who were so accomplished.

God Bless the families of our military and the missing/deceased hikers. May God give you stregnth, peace , and comfort.

I had turn the channel..... 15 minutes of blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda..... This made me want to puke. All these soldiers getting blown to bits and their families lives are ruined, fighting for our country, and instead of giving them 15 minutes for being a hero, your covering some guy falling asleep in the snow during his hobby. I think if I get terminal cancer, I'm climbing a mountain and taking a cold sleep and you can interview my wife about how I'm all this and all that!!!!!!!!! Never mind the police officer killed that day.... the soldier, etc. Man..... get Katie a new job!!!! PUKE, PUKE, PUKE!!!!!

"Why is it CBS has to go interview the WIDOW of a dead climber now?

Not just CBS; but that Katie Cursed, lover of tragedy.

Katie chases people in pain like ambulances chase the infirm. LOL

Miss Cursed has to itemize and milk every facet of pain of every publicized tragedy for all the misery it possesses.

hey newster1, when is the last time you scaled a mountain? Have you ever climbed anything besides onto the couch or the bed?

"Did you read this part? This man was not an idiot. He owned his own business for Gods sake.
Well educated. Which is more than I can say for the chosen few here that have posted some stupid comments.

Ever heard of an 'educated idiot'? LOL

We have one right now leading 300 million sheeple over the abyss!

These guys weren't so evil. Thank the stars. LOL

However, they did selfishly pain those who were near and dear to them, climbing a mountain in the middle of winter practically! How freaking childish is that?

They also lean heavily on the the state's coffers AND ON THE LIVES AND WELL BEING OF THOSE WHO HAVE TO UNNECESSARILY RISK THEIR LIVES and waste valuable resources hunting for so-called adults with children's mentality!

These moronic mountaineers not only endanger themselves; they also endanger the lives of rescuers who also have families who could be pained if something happened to the rescuers!

I am beginning to wonder if a chosen few of you. You know who you are. Even read this article or listened to the interview. Quote:
She had good reason to hold on to hope. The 48-year-old landscape architect was a 25-year veteran mountaineer who had already successfully scaled some of the most treacherous summits in the world.

I feel this widow's pain.
At the same time, I'm also very happy for her.
Cheer up, girl!

Now this widow might be able to attract a more sane mate as husband from among those who might not mind a secondhand wife.



Fools and their lives are soon parted!

Whomever coined the phrase 'crazy Americans' was definitely feeling the American pulse. LOL

It is understandable when children gamble with their lives for the sake of mere pittance.

It is downright retarded when selfish, self-centered, or insane adults(?) seek to emulate inexperienced children and CAUSE UNNECESSARY AND AVOIDABLE BURDEN TO OTHERS WHO WILL BE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR DUMB DISAPPEARANCE!

I would like to apologize to Karen and her family for the self centerness and ignorance of some of these people who commented. This is NOT a race issue and for once why don't you think about someone else besides yourselves. A man died and all you can worry about is the color of his skin or the fact that he wasen't fighting for his country. We feel for all the soliders who died and we feel sorry for the innocent people who die everyday, and yet all you people think about is who didn't make the headline news. Karen, you and your family are in my prayers!

newster1 - your comments show your ignorance. They were highly experienced. They had seen plenty of snow. They were highly prepared. They made very few mistakes if any. Read up before you post. Of course, no one from Texas has seen snow, right?

humancitizen - I didn't know this was a race issue. But I guess some people can make anything a race issue. Most of the people involved in the search love to climb also and understand what those guys were going thru. They were glad to help.

How many tax dollars go toward helping prevent or clean up after lawless criminals around the country? Maybe we should just leave drunk drivers to die in the wreckage the create?
