[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mother was found up the hillside, right? She might have been trying to get out of the gas cloud, realizing that it was close to the ground.

Basically, its the opposite of a house fire, where they tell you to crawl on the floor so you have access to oxygen.

This may also be related to climate change - gasses are escaping from the permafrost due to ground warming. This may be a big issue moving forward - the sudden release of ground gases could rapidly suffocate people.  [/quote]

[b]As a mom I will be trying to grab my baby in a dangerous situation, not away from it. Even I get killed because of it[/b].[/quote]

That's easy to say when judging a situation theoretically from the comfort of home, but you don't know if the mom might have been disoriented and making strange split-second choices due to whatever was going on. If they were exposed to toxic gases, for instance, that is likely not conducive to good reasoning, especially if panic set in.

Or: For all we know she might have been thinking she could get back to the car or to an area with cell service much faster if she were moving solo, and she left the baby with dad, who might have been, at that time, conscious and saying he'd sit there with the baby, and mom should go for help as fast as possible.

It's perhaps unintentionally judgy to talk as if the mom were somehow wrong because she did not "grab (the) baby in a dangerous situation." I'm going to hope you didn't mean it that way. But coming off as judgmental is a risk of Monday morning quarterbacking. No one really knows yet why the two adults were in the locations they were at death. [/quote]
