The helicopter

It landed on the top of Mount Everest on May 14. When I saw the video I thought it was a hoax. What do you think?

Then I thought, "Nope, it really happened, but it's actually pretty sad." There should be some places in the world you have to work to get to. It's great that high altitude rescues will be aided by machines like this but it also opens up the ultimate in fat cat tourism, helicopter picnics at the peak of Everest? Top of the world wedding ceremonies? Awful!

Then I did a bit of reading and it turns out the whole thing is a publicity grab for this fine company that built the beast.

Enough said. Except

question: isn't anything just safe and clean and good anymore?
