Pretty sad but amazing and informative documentary
Didn’t they make a movie using that story?
Excellent documentary that includes the actual rope, boots and literature of the day. I think this finally puts closure on this tragedy. Clears names and reveals the real monster – the goal, the greed of the goal of being the first was his one eyed monster. Forsaking safety measures, team work, health of others, his myopic nature, cutting that rope caused the tragedy. Quietly psychotic in his ambition to be the first, especially on the seventh attempt.
Gracias 🎉🎉
I know the documentary isn’t focussed on the clothing etc, but surely to god they better clothing than depicted here? I know they hadn’t manufactured the modern materials we have now, but I’ve wrapped up warmer to nip down to my local store than these guys.
