dmuja Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 Did anyone else catch the video the guy made on the rim of St Helens? Pretty freaky with a shaking camera from the constant earth quakes and loud rock slides in the back ground.. Quote
dmuja Posted October 9, 2004 Author Posted October 9, 2004 Twas on KING 5 tv news tonite , sorry Quote
gslater Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 I saw that on the news last night; freaky indeed. Impressively scary rockfall sounds. I was gonna throw my beer bottle at the TV if they showed one more person reminding us all that it's really dangerous to climb an active volcano, and that it's illegal for us to choose to consciously put ourselves in danger on our public lands. (Not trying to start any thread drift here, but it was what I was thinking when I saw the story...) Quote
Jake Posted October 10, 2004 Posted October 10, 2004 I couldn't care less if somebody is up there on the mountain when it is threatening to erupt. If somebody takes the risk, fine with me. In fact, they ought to allow any crazy fool who wants to go up there go - so long as it is clear that being on the mountain is extremely dangerous and should anything go wrong, no rescue will even be attempted. People should be responsible for what they do. If they want to get themselves killed on the mountain, fine with me. Quote
Alex Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 fine with you until your tax dollars start paying for rescue costs? Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Fine with me that tax dollars pay for it. Worth it's money in entertainment. Quote
Jake Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 No tax dollars need to be used. Just declare that anyone on the volcanoe needing rescue is out of luck. No rescued will be attempted due to the dangerous nature of the volcanoe. Go at your own risk. Quote
iain Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Just declare that anyone on the volcanoe needing rescue is out of luck. They probably are. It is very likely the mission would be refused. Quote
