Yeah, the news networks are switching from live to loops and back to something Fox is calling "new video". After watching this for the last hour it's pretty clear the talking heads and the people doing the captions don't know what's being broadcast.

Jim Whitaker's cnn interview is a bit annoying. Climbers today relie on rescue but in his day they relied on teamwork. Then he is asked if he has ever been rescued and he says "yes" on Denali.

So anyone who is rescued today is substandard but not when he needed it.

I wish someone would point out this cave.

CNN is carrying the livefeed from KOIN (CBS) on its pipeline, go to http://www.cnn.com and click on watch now.

I don't have the link but it is KOIN-KPTV so google it. Please be nice. There is plenty of room and banwidth here to have a few questions outside the lines.

Looks like it might take some time however.

That's what I thought.

Lambone - CNN is showing shots from KOIN-KPTV, but I don't know link.

Zeta male - you're a hypocritical prick.

I am from SJC on Blog.
I agree that it is good to keep track of technical notes this way.
Thanks for updating with video info as I do not have cable.
Best.

What is the upside down V shape made of? Snow? Ropes? The only shape I've heard mentioned was the 'Y' made by gear, which someone said means 'Yes, I'm here.' Is a snow cave suppose to grow in height in relation to the surrounding snow as snow falls on top of it? I don't know why it would do that. When you build a cave, you dig into snow already there, unless it's some sort of igloo design.

I thought DISH network only receives, doesn't transmit. And any
confirmation as to where the three were would have saved a week's worth of searching.

I concur, was watching the guy digging from the apex of the /\ for five minutes and amazed that none of the talking heads mentioned it. You could even see the spindrift coming from his shovel.

I wonder if you called into CNN if there's any chance they could clue the talking heads into that video.

You just completely misquoted him. Before you post, think before you hit the enter key.

Fox "reconfirmed" that the Y is made of snow, not rope.

I am not going to get into flame wars.

It wasn't said all at once. That was two parts of the same interview.

Anyone else notice the older footage showing a small group of rescuers to the right of the ridge below the Pearly Gates? Are they testing the snow over there before heading up?

CNN just reported a communication on the radio "prepare to evacuate the summit at 1600 hours." No indication of what it means.

The current view appears to me to show, as viewed from the SE, about a dozen people on the summit preparing to scan/descend the NF.

Capt. Chris Bernard - 304th AFRS - "From what it looks like to me, they have found the target area."

SAR will have to evac summit at 4pm PST.
