Everest Avalanche in Nepal, April 18, 2014

May 05,2014 / by

On 18 April 2014, an avalanche on Mount Everest near Everest Base Camp killed sixteen Nepalese guides. As of 20 April, thirteen bodies had been recovered. The search for the three remaining bodies was called off due to the difficulty and risk of retrieving them. Some Sherpa guides were angered by the government’s meagre offer of compensation to victim’s families and threatened a “strong protest” or strike. On 22 April, the Sherpas announced they would not work on Everest for the remainder of 2014 as a mark of respect for the victims. Teams on the mountain began to leave due to threats and violence from Maoist protagonists, seriously threatening climbing Sherpas who went into the Icefall- crippling teams’ movements.

Here is the video record that moment.
