      @10191927, "conventional wisdom"...
      "Certain dwugz iz vury bad!! Ban em! Bust down doors huntin' for da devil's veggie powdahz cuz they unhealthy!"
      Yet, *intentionally spending comparable amounts of wealth (time, attention, shekels, health) to intentionally go out your way to go to places openly called "The Death Zone" & all that comes with it???*
      People are like: "Brilliant idea! Sooo adventahwuss & healthy! What a healthy habit! Good clean lifestyle!"
      Yeah,..."humanity" is prone to some impressive hypocrisy, serious delusion, + run of the mill madness

    Unbelievable how getting tangled and unclipping for that brief moment is what saved his life. It wasn't his time, and he had a guardian angel that day. 😇

  • @doclewis8927

    That had to be so scary. You unclip from your group to fix your tangled self, look down to get untangled, look up and everyone except you has disappeared down the mountain. That had to be so very frightening then you'd have to calm yourself and climb by yourself down the mountain that you'd had help climbing. The shear terror and exhaustion Abe must have felt upon being able to call for help. That's so sad. At least, the families had some closure with Abe being able to tell them what happened to their kin.

    What does it say about this year of our lord 2024 ... that I open a Morbid Midnight video and immediately hit the like button BECAUSE ... I know I'm going to get EXACTLY what I need and expect ... some horrible tale of death and/or woe told in the most pleasant, soothing voice ever (well, this side of Steven Wright, at least).
    MM: And THEN ... the school bus full of children slammed into the gas tanker and they all caught on fire ... but wait ... they slipped OFF the collapsing bridge into the water, which put them out, which was lucky ... but then some of them drowned and the rest were torn apart by sharks!
    The ones who drowned were eaten by turtles ... and crabs.
    Me: Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, you made it almost sound like a good thing!
