Jon Krakauer Into Thin air

1. What happened and when? In the book, Jon Krakauer tells events leading up to his eventual decision to participate in an Everest expedition in May of 1996, despite having mostly given up mountain climbing years before. Initially, Krakauer, a journalist for adventure magazine outside, stated that his intentions to climb Everest were purely professional. The original magazine story was to have Krakauer climb only to base camp, and report on the commercialization of the mountain. However, the idea of Everest reawakened his childhood desire for climbing the mountain, between events that take place on the mountain and the unfolding tragedy which takes place during the push to the summit. 2. What went wrong and what injuries were sustained? When Jon Krakauer reached the summit of Mt. Everest in the early afternoon of May 10, 1996, he hadn't slept in fifty-seven hours and was reeling from the brain-altering effects of oxygen depletion. As he turned to begin his long, dangerous descent from 29,028 feet, twenty other climbers were still pushing doggedly toward the top. No one had noticed that the sky had begun to fill with clouds. Six hours later and 3,000 feet lower, in 70-knot winds and blinding snow, Krakauer collapsed in his tent, freezing, hallucinating from exhaustion and hypoxia, but safe. The following morning, he learned that six of his fellow climbers hadn't made it back to their camp and were desperately struggling for their lives. When the storm finally passed, five of them would be dead, and the sixth so horribly frostbitten that his right hand would have to be amputated. 3. How did the people involved in the situation cope, what did they do? Five of his fellow is dead so there are hardly any people are involving, a few of them got frost bite, but when they got down and in to the hospital they had there arm amputated. 4. What could they have done differently? They went up to high thats why the hardly had no oxygen, some of his fellow team mate have never been mountaineering, that was another bug mistake, they shouldnt even be there, those people is inexperience.

They should have a turn around time, if they are not up by a certain time, go back down but they kept on going up.
