...but I wonder why one would choose to rescue people with explosives, especially highly unstable ones. I mean, it's bad enough that these guys have to speed-climb the world's most dangerous mountain. But now they have to carry nitroglycerin on their backs. Why not add some killer bee hives, and syringe needles with Ebola and curare, and stonefish? Also, the commandant at base camp has his office a "safe" 30 foot distance from his explosives depot...NOT! There is a chemical storage shed for our labs at my job, but it is a good 250 meters away from any occupied space, for good reason. Bah, Humbug!At least it was better than "Mission To Mars."
