That chopper was stripped to the bone so that one dude could fly in it, with a fuel time of 1 hour. It also landed on the summit which is more flat. Don't think it would be easily and safely able to carry an addition (dead) body that's probably perched on an incline, let alone carry rescuers. It takes upwards of 6 hours to chip the dead body off the ice (if it's been frozen there for a while)

These numbers come from a USGS spokesperson who is currently in Nepal.English is not my first language, so please excuse any phrasing/wording...
I can't stick with a single artist. But it's usually heavy stuff.
The BBC Popluar List has that very same title and I thought it was click-baity to say African comedian rather than just say his name - Trevor Noah. I don't know much about his guy, except that I saw him once in QI.

I would guess the articles refers to the mostly the Chinese population where air pollution is rampant.

I'd forgotten that Windows 95 used to tell you that.

I'm not a fan of American Football, well, because I'm not American and never got into the sport. I'm glad there is a minimal of ads when I'm watching the Premier League.
