Into thin air

a personal account of the Mount Everest disaster

After Jon Krakauer joins a group of mountain climbers who ascend dangerously up to the summit of Mt. Everest, he observes their mental disorientation from oxygen depletion which causes unwieldy pride and poor judgment. Also a sudden mountain storm with bone-chilling temperatures creates a tragic moment of death for many people.
