    Hey everyone! I'm super pleased to announce that I have finally produced my first full feature-length documentary in a new series called Ghost Towns. This first episode is called "The Lake With 100 Million Skeletons" and covers the abandoned towns and communities located around the Salton Sea in southern California. The episode and entire series will be exclusively viewable on Nebula, my own streaming site, while CuriosityStream seriously helped to make this documentary possible by providing funding so there won't be any ads. If that sounds like something you'd be interested in watching, do please follow the link at CuriosityStream.com/reallifelore and sign up for both CuriosityStream and Nebula so you can watch it and help ensure that future big documentary projects from me and dozens of other creators continue to get made. Thanks and have a happy holiday season :)

    I was in lukla earlier this year, I was on the first flight out of there after the airport reopened after closing for covid-19, something about lukla I'd like to make known, the hotels in the area changed from a payment system, to a "suggested donation" system when we were all stuck in lukla due to covid. The hotels there had a bad season this year, knowing that, they were still generous and treated us like family.

    Having landed at Lukla back in 2013 for the trek to Everest Base Camp I can say from personal experience it was one of the most exhilarating way to begin an adventure anyone can hope for. All the passengers held our collective breath when we made the approach, as we can see straight into the pilots cabin area and share the pilot's view of the airport and runway as we descend. Not going to lie it was 50% excitement and 50% fear. Thankfully the pilots were top-notch, and they landed the plane with what seems to me as ease. I cannot speak highly enough of the pilots and flight crew that make this incredible journey day in and day out.

    I’ve flown in and out of this airport twice, the last time 3 years ago where it felt quite civilised. The experience taking off in 1992 was quite different. It was a dirt strip and about half as long. There were two wreckages of planes being cleaned up as I lined up to enter my plane. The local staff looked quite offended as I took photos! Take off involved the plane revving it’s engines to max with the brakes on. On release the plane kind of shot off, bouncing side to side and up and down. At the bottom of the strip it fell quite a way until adequate uplift was achieved. A real roller coaster ride! The video narration was very accurate imo

      Lukla isn't the highest altitude airport that services Sagarmatha National Park. Syangboche Airport is and it's closer to Everest. However hikers and mountaineers don't like it because it's bad for altitude acclimation. Hiking from Lukla to Namche is the preferred way to begin acclimation. Syangboche is mostly for helicopters now but it used to have regular flights.

    I lived next door to Sir Ed as a child, but relevant to this was a story he told to our school. I think it related to the construction of this airport. A very large bolder was in the middle of main construction area. Sir Ed had thought of bringing in explosives to remove it. However, the local (??Sherpas) suggested to him that rather than that, they would just dig a big hole next to the bolder and roll the bolder into the hole. Problem solved. Personally, I and family used the airport in 1996 - helicoptered in and I think fixed wing out in during a trek to Kala Pattar. Certainly quite an experience. Please remember also that Sir Ed's first wife, Louise, and one of his daughters, Belinda, died in a 1975 plane crash shortly after takeoff from Kathmandu airport for a flight into Phaplu (relatively close to Lukla).

    In late 1985, I went trekking in Nepal and had the experience of landing at, and one week later taking off from, Lukla Airport (or more accurately, airstrip). Both flights were delayed for a day or two (I forget just how long) due to weather. They take it very seriously.
    Coming into Lukla, I couldn’t see the airstrip until the last minute and I was quite sure we were heading straight into a mountainside. The air turbulence over that terrain did nothing for my confidence, either. I knew that missing the landing was a real possibility, and as it was, it was rough, even though the pilot hit it right. (This took place before Lukla was paved.)
    Flying out, I recall a sickening feeling like my stomach dropping out of my abdomen when we left the ground just shy of the drop off into space after the downhill takeoff. But with a bit of a power climb, we were safely on our way back to Kathmandu.
    I’ll never forget it, any more than I would ever forget spinning prayer wheels for the safety of all passengers and crews while in the region.

    You must be heard of Toncontin Airport, Tegucigalpa, Honduras in terms of approach. It has a reputation "most treacherous airport in world" due to difficult approach and crashes happened there. Pilots should execute a dramatic 45 degree turn after crossing mountains just minutes before prior touching the ground. Due to unusual steep, airport forces pilots to use more strip while takeoffs and landings than at sea level. and airport still uses old navigation equipment. Its a dangerous combination for any skilled pilot.
