Can you imagine heading out for a day of fun and then, THIS??[/quote]

What is an "accidental" avalanche? [/quote]

Versus a deliberately triggered avalanche. [/quote]

But this was just an avalanche. It wasn't an "accidental avalanche." Shit just happens. There was no need whatsoever for the weird modifier. [/quote]

That makes it accidental vs avalanches that are triggered using techniques such as explosives to make skiiing areas more safe. [/quote]

+1. The fact that some posters don’t even know this occurs explains so much about some of the commentary. [/quote]

When skiers trigger an avalanche, that's not just accidental. [/quote]

Exactly. The women triggered the avalanche.

Definitely not the conditions ripe for avalanches. [/quote]

"Accidentally" means, by definition, unexpectedly or unintentionally. Is English your first language?[/quote]

This avalanche wasn't unexpected. What are you talking about? There were avalanche warnings and predictions. So, exactly the opposite of an accident.[/quote]

If that avalanche wasn't unexpected, why did the expert guides lead their clients through there?  It was either accidental or negligence. [/quote]

But they were highly intelligent, experienced back country skiers, right? They made the choice to go on a ski trip when extreme weather conditions and chance of svalanches had been predicted for a week. Or they weren't smart and experienced enough to look at weather reports? Which is it? [/quote]

Give it a rest. What are you trying to accomplish? People died. Looking back on what happened with 20/20 hindsight is a useful exercise for a small population, which doesn’t include you. [/quote]

That’s the favorite hobby of the DCUM’s sanctimonious, judgmental cows.

They know everything about everything and won’t hesitate to shit on dead people just to spout off [b]their own ignorant opinions. [/b]
[/quote]

Thanks for sharing your own ignorant opinion. [/quote]

PP's garbage comments are all here for us all to see.

[/quote]

It's a cautionary tale. Necessary for the dimwits who think this was all just a huge accident. [/quote]

Is it a cautionary tale for you? Were you planning to go back country skiing? I dare guess that you don’t engage in much thoughtful consideration regarding the decisions you make on a regular basis and yet you like to sit in judgment of people who make decisions you wouldn’t and then something bad befalls them. If you have nothing to learn from this then maybe this isn’t the thread for you. [/quote]

I’m sorry you recently learned about avalanches. There are probably a lot of other gaps in your knowledge. See also: what does accident mean?[/quote]
