Johnny Burmedi’s Reviews > Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster > Status Update

Much respect is owed to the author for writing about such a harrowing event so shortly after it happened. The detail he goes into, depicting events step by step, paint a vivid picture of what happened. Throughout the book I couldn’t help feeling distaste for the stupidity of it all. The risks these people were willing to take shocked me severely and limited my empathy for them. Just why?
