- In the wake of the 1996 disaster that took eight climbers in a single day, scientists follow a team of hikers to measure, for the first time ever, the toll high-altitude climbing takes on the heart, lungs, blood, and brain.

Did't set a licence content before, and someone got much more views than me for this video :( Let us fix the situation! Please, give reaaly big activity for this video and start to bring to the top! ^ ^)
That's because they are rich and could care less about the environment.
Send the link of another will report it to take that down
Don't be disgusted their brains are melting. How perfect do u act when Ur brain melts?
@@markhilltaco4079That could be a major problem.
1997 "50 people is way too crowded" 2024 "450 people is way too crowded."
I can't believe this doesn't have more views, it's very informative. Plus Jodie Foster, who knew.
Because they're delusional
@@skronked 😂😂😂 It's always the ignorant & gutless shit-for-brains that leave these idiotic comnents.
Find something to do besides trolling & continuously revealing to everyone how dumb you really are.
this is a perfect example of how wrong wording paints the wrong picture:
_the storm_ didn't claim the people, *they themselves* did this. they, 100% knowingly that this is no environment for humans, went there, it's not the "oh so merciless nature" that claimed their lives, but their own stupidity. Everyone needs to drink water or else we die. But if we put our heads in water we will die too, it's not the water that is "merciless" but our stupidity putting our heads there, knowing our body is not made for this.
ps. edit: and yes, everyone can go there and do what they want but in a documentary about the mountain and human, the mountain should not be condemned and painted as evil when in fact it's the humans who WANT TO do this, noone is forcing them, in fact, I bet, had the mountain a soul, he'd be happier, would he be left alone. It's the ego of the humans and not "oh so bad, evil nature" who caused those deaths and it's time to take responsibility and not blame a mountain who did nothing to force them to go there.
I really like your comment! You're absolutely right! But I think the authors of this film have wanted to add a big piece of drama to this story to attract the attention of a wide audience like you
@@SurvivorsStories I know! That's what I don't like about most documentaries , it's just a show, a scripted movie, not reality. But it leads to many people fearing nature and baming nature and animals INSTEAD OF taking responsibility themselves and that's a part of what's wrong with the world today imo
ps. it's the same thing with blaming sharks and bears and idk what, as if they WANT to attack us when in reality they are protecting their babies while we are intrudors in their already very limited space
@@SurvivorsStories also: "you know my brother once told me, that nothing someone says before the word "but" really counts" benjen stark, 1x03 ;)
Those crevasses scare the hell out of me.
The Sherpas are amazing. RESPECT!!
I love the Jodie Foster voice
This was extremely interesting!❤
I especially love the documentaries of the ascents from BC to the summit or even just ABC.
Each expedition is different & interesting ... and knowing the team really helps in feeling like you're part of the ascent and all the hardships & dangers which are ever present from the start.
I could never get enough of the Karakoram's 14 giants!
❤❤❤
🥰
Wow…glad everyone made it back. Well done everyone.
David made the best decision of anybody’s life. I wish more people would humble themselves and do the same!
They need to cut down the number of climbers waiting on other people is what's killing them
Nice and interesting video 👍🏻
I just love Everest videos pre year 2000. The tempo is slower, and I like that, the music is warmer and the logos and graphics are struggling beautifully in the dawn of digital video-graphics. And I learned that the brain volume is in play for high altitude climbers, didn’t know that.
It's obvious that climbing into the death zone is something humans shouldn't be doing.
It’s not that bad, it’s only weak lil girls who complain. Woman don’t complain as much as you new generation of men or should I call you pathetic men. You’ll ride a bull 🐂 but complain about a mountain where millions have climbed and 58 have died total. You loose more to gun violence.
I'm more impressed with the Sherpas than I am with the others.
Smh lol
I’m disgusted by the fact that people just leave their trash up there. No respect for our beautiful Mother and the gifts that she gives, these people should be ashamed of themselves.
Are you stupid? It's the death zone.
Whose mother are you referring to? God the Father created those mountains.
God the Father created that mountain with the power of his word. There’s no Mother Nature giving gifts. This Earth is the creation of His handiwork and he is to be worshipped. The human family is warned against worshipping the creation instead of the Creator.
There’s far greater problems than some empty aluminum bottles and nylon fabric on top of a mountain where nothing can survive.
I’m far more disgusted that people are left up there. If summiting the world’s tallest peak requires you to forego any compassion for your fellow man to reach a personal goal (so much so that dead bodies are now used as land markers…like Green Boots), then it naturally follows that you wouldn’t demonstrate care for anything else on the mountain, either. The desire to summit Everest is borne out of pure selfish ambition.
@@prevost8686bullshit the only problems are the HUMANS CAUSE
I pretty much lost it at 10,000 feet, which was a real surprise. My lungs felt fine, but my brain and legs just weren't working right. Of course, I was 54 years old and was only 4 months out from major abdominal surgery, so that may have played a role. Still, I don't want to try staggering around in Peruvian mountains again without either better acclimatization or some Diamox tablets. Or both.
I’ve climbed many mountains during my journeys, I remember going up a 10000 foot mountain near Los Angeles. I had to get down the mountain after I started getting dizzy with altitude sickness to be fair I was carrying a lot of weight and ran on barely any sleep 😂. 99% of people would never make it up Everest without their Sherpas carrying everything for these “casual” climbers. Most of them have no business being on Everest.
You're a hero
Now I’m curious about how they have applied their data as of 2024. Have there been advancements in technology that allow people to better acclimatize? This was a great insight into what acclimatizing is really like. Definitely not glamorous, or easy, and I have a whole new respect for people who have been to Everest. I don’t think people should climb her anymore though. It’s polluted, a sacred place, and people are still dying trying to climb. I don’t think Sir Ed thought that hundreds, thousands of people would be climbing after his expedition. I believe that there are many consequences that climbers have failed to balance and now the mountain/nature will become a balancing force that we cannot ignore. People need to show respect to this place so that generations beyond us can benefit from this learning experience.
Yes, I share your opinion. But unfortunately or fortunately there were, are and will be extreme people...
I can’t even remember those sentences now! No way I’d be able to repeat them way up there.
Stay off the mountain if you want to live
I’ve lived all my life near the coast with a max of 150ft above sea level. I spent 3 weeks in Texas at an elevation of around 3,500 ft. It didn’t take long to tell a difference. I could not imagine being that high up! So I’m just going to stay my happy behind down here at sea level!! 😂😂
I spearfish and trek up mountains best depth 60 feet below might highest is 11,200 the first time I got past 10,000 I started vomiting 😂 after I got dizzier I told myself get down the mountain now. I carry a garmin inreach that I can call emergency services with my gps location but that’s like 3 grand for a rescue
Yeah me too. I've been a sea level junky all my life. But visit the higher elevations occasionally. Lived a year in Denver at Lowry AFB and snow skied the peaks in winter. I paraglide now when I visit Utah...but I am not young anymore and the alt really slows me down especially being from Louisiana. It feels like being a fish out of water never being able to catch breath when hiking up anything above 5k ft for me now. Getting old sucks.
@@murdockdacoon2055 I'm from the swamp in SE GA. I feel like my lungs are drying up if there isn't enough humidity in the air!! Lol
They are studying things that are ALREADY very well established and documented in science. Odd!
I just watched the movie Everest today. I have a book that touched on it BUT man what an event!
Twice without O2 is crazy
For Gods's sake: in most parts of the civilized world it's metres, not feet!
what country do you live in?
'
Feet and miles is better
Who cares? We deal with meters here with the rest of the world. If you are confused Google it and find the conversion. I sit and buy things from England and the UK and Europe and every measurement is in centimeters. I just convert it and be on my merry way. I don’t shame them for using the metric system. I understand that’s the system they use and I communicate with them in their system.
@@elizabetherne556 oh i'm going to google the conversion while watching a video lol,,, NEXT!
Wow,,amazing stamina,,good team effort,,,astonishing accomplishment,,rip bro rob n others there
Thank you ❤️
Gob bless you! Best Regards!
In First day of required college class physiology of exercise. All class members asked to lie down for resting heart beat, etc, measurements. 68, 75, 82, 86, etc until mine was 48. Old lady professor asked me, you don't own a car? You ran here today? You pretty much run everywhere? All true! So instead of studying all class, she made class study of just me! I found myself in Speedo laid out on raised table with 40 student teachers an instructor examining my every muscle. Nice compliment, She said I was made for Everest!
Sure Jan
Jesus this app brings out some serious narcs 😂😂😂😂😂
The teacher brought a speedo to every lab with her just in case this instance of serendipity happened?
"The view makes it worth it.." you got me convinced now try yourself. Some people just don't get it!! Go Down!! Now!
Does hanging out in the death zone make you grow bigger balls?
The death zone it's like a Field of Dreams. You can wish everything: Big balls, big penis, loan repayment...All of this will surely come true.
They'll shrink. 🤣
Leave the mountain alone
I have no idea how people summit without oxygen!!
Actually me too. It's a superhuman, having superbody and superorganism or supertrained
General Hunt's 1953 Everest Expedition included a physiologist (Dr. Wilfred Pugh). He studied the effects of hypoxia and low air pressue on the body-and published his findings...nothing new here.
I was in lake tahoe, my inital hike was too busy so I couldn't find parking.....parked at another spot, saw a sign that said its 1,000 feet down, in 1 mile, going down is a choice coming back up is a requirement. It was somewhere around 7,000 feet in altitude, I made it maybe and 1/8 of the way down the hill, and said this is good, coming back up that hill was no joke.....so omg at 27,000 feet it just insane to me. I understand why so many die.
sometimes when i run, my breathing gets away from me and i have to stop. when i train with weights, if i don't watch my breathing it will feel like i cannot get enough oxygen into my lungs. it is the most terrifying feeling in the world for me to feel like im drowning outside of water. why im terrified of water to begin with.
the fact that these guys are going INTO an environment where the air is thinning the higher you go is fucking terrifying.
Sounds like asthma.
Hard to have any sympathy for anyone who dies up there. What do they think they're achieving? Sheer stupidity.. and please don't tell me I don't understand.
You are absolutely right. But human life is the most precious thing you can lose. Their lives are pitiful...
Agree. They actually choose risk of death in which death is high ptobability. They must not have anything of importance in their lives.
😂😂😂
Multiple others on the mountain in 1996 have reported that david and the imax team didnt help anyone else...
Everything I’ve seen on it says they went back to base camp after not having shots without other people and they knew a storm was coming. They also have stated they stayed at base camp and watched.
I don't trust ladders on slippery ice in motion....I'll pass
I wish someone could explain to me why people climbing thesouth side half to spend several days climbing to base camp or they can get really sick if they were ( to say ) take a chopper to basecamp. However people can actually drive right to base camp on the north side. Or thats what ive heard.
36.25 sorry, but this is INSANE also to your HEALTH and everything.......
These tests are annoying even if done down here. Ridiculous.
I've NO doubt----------none at all--------that whenever climbers on Everest see a body ----------they think the same thing as do soldiers in war ; " better you than me ! " ------I know from my years in a Level 1 ED. Seeing people come in dead, or dying in our ED, I always thought that, though not out loud. It's normal & to be expected.-----MJL, 76 y/o
It is crazy that someone ill would even attempt to climb Mt. Everest
It’s not a climb it’s an arduous trek for tourists. Remove the ropes and ladders and then only mountaineers will tackle it rather than arrogant tourists. K2NF now that’s a climb!
@@X737_it's still climbing and requires experience. There are plenty of vertical sections. Just because you've seen it on CZcams doesn't mean you have any real knowledge. Just another flippant comment in a sea of ignorance.
@@felix-ve8jk vertical sections are ‘climbed’ up fixed ladders. Don’t assume Felix it makes you look even more ill informed remarkable considering…..
@@X737_ that's certainly not true but whatever helps you cope more, divegrasser
Oxy meter + an MRI. Good job 😮
I get sick, only by looking at it.........
Was it not the decition of David to go up there ?.........
God bless Ed he saved dudes life
These people are delusional ❤😢😂
60% My God that's terribly low!!
It just seems like mental illness to me. They see the terrible toll this hobby takes on their mental health and how close to death they are skating, and they LAUGH watching evidence of this on video? It is like Russian Roulette played out over months and years. Why are these people celebrated? I just don't get it.
This video is about Death Zone on Everest. You need to watch carefully
This is true and it’s part of the fascination I have in watching these videos. Does that make me mentally deranged? I don’t know but I’ve always been interested in nature and humans interacting with it. I don’t begrudge them but the fact is it’s just insane to put your mind and body through all that for what? To see the view? But hey, it’s their life and the world is a more interesting place because of them.
It’s no different than someone pursuing a career in football. Their mental health and physical health deteriorate through all the hits and conditioning. Some people value their craft more than their longevity. Not crazy at all. It’s whatever is worth it to you
When i'm guiding on Everest when we reach camp 4 i ask each climber this question if they cannot answer it correctly within 60 sec i send them back to base camp........" If train A leaves the station going 60 miles per hour and train B leaves one hour later going 85 miles per hour, how long will it take train B to catch up with train A "
Thank you very much for a nice guidelines! :) I think that's pretty good task for climbers in the death zone!
Why a question on a math problem though?
Why don’t take better numbers? This don’t gives a clear answer. Make it 60 miles and 90 miles and await the answer 2h. 2 ways to calculate, the easiest: train 1 has 60 on its clock, each our the second catches up 30 miles per hour, so he needs 2 h. So in hour 3 all of them drove 180 miles.
Your questions is only at sealevel difficult. 60/25 = 2,4 h.
It's a trick question - back to base camp with you all
@@TheApp9 He will send me back at sea level. lol🤣
They signed up for this AND they paid thousands of dollars for it??!! What were they thinking? It should be called the foolish zone or "you made a choice and we aren't coming to get you zone" Russian roulette not only with their lives but with the rescue team that has to come get them. Too bad those sherpas cannot make good money doing something else that doesn't put their lives at risk. C'mon climbers. Find another way to get your adrenaline rush and stop playing with people's lives. Smh
I think there should be a more strict allowance of people on the mountain each year. The problem with that is mainly that the Sherpa and the other people who live there and benefit from lots of tourism and people making attempts on Everest it would really reduce the amount of money being made by them. I really hate how much pollution its creating with all the trash left behind and of course human waste
Yes! Their selfish, self absorbed behavior endangers other lives and demonstrates a complete lack of love and consideration for their families. What a shame.
They also have to go down....
In certain situations known to be detrimental to human life it is illegal for anyone to be in that area so WHY!! is this still aloud to go on.
Why what's the importance of this, ???
THIS IS NOT A CHANNEL TO SUPPORT. There's a comment below or maybe a dozen or so that starts off ....it's hard to have sympathy for people that died up here..... and in that comment theres a response from this channel talking about how pitiful the people's lives were the died....... Oh yeah boo boo something's pitiful but it ain't them. Thats so ugly. 😘
I don't see the point in any of this..
??? WHY ???
I have a stupid question: why not building pipes upward the mountain bringing oxygen to the death zone?
Good idea, but afraid is impossible to realize
@@SurvivorsStories Why? That could be as simple as pulling a flexible tube upward in stages. The pipe would be connected to an engine at base camp pumping oxygen on a continuous basis. I'm not familiar with the challenges, but I think that should be possible in principle. What do you think?
Or everyone that’s a human being can stay the hell off the mountain and find something else to do
The tube would have to be about 40 miles long so would be extremely heavy. Even if you somehow managed to get it up there the weather would destroy it.
14:52 People trying to walk through the ladder knowing that there is a deep crevaces underneath. So my thought is why they don't put a plyboard or something like a ramp above the ladder as it will be easier to cross faster when compared to walking slowly step by step trying to keep your feet on the steps of the ladder.
I know I was thinking that now
Strong enough ply would be very heavy and slippy
@@perin99 It can be a light aluminium ramp with spikes on it to prevent slipping. Now a days technology is so advanced that this can be easily implemented. Why they hadn't done this, I don't understand, given that people pour in thousands of dollars to climb the mountain.
There is a business just waiting to be born on that mountain. O2 TANK retrieval...
I don’t get the favinstion of it
Are these types of ladders from home depot, why always tea, no coffee, no hot chocolate. Climbers take trash from camp with you very sad
Tea is a one of the magic drinks restoring your thermoregulation! It makes you more stronger when you are weak. No coffee because it produces water-off from your body. No chocolate cuz it too sweet. Probably the sweet tea is a better way to feel yourself good
Thanks. All be safe
We leave our crap everywhere cant stand people
Agreed. Humans are the real garbage on this planet
yoooo
what's the point of training at sea level when you should be training in Colorado? Training just for ascent at sea level is stupid--you need to be training at altitude in less oxygen in order to master getting down the mountain.
It strikes me as so odd that White people are so proud of ourselves for doing what Sherpas can do much more easily; Congrats for functioning like a Sherpa grade school child, you Rock! I mean, I know it's a lot harder if you didn't grow up at high altitudes, but still.
I swear this is the most hateful comment I’ve seen in a bit. What the fuck does white people have to do with a documentary regarding Mount Everest? Sherpas are incredible humans but they have been adapted to high altitude for generations. White black whatever can be proud of an accomplishment that they trained for, regardless of their race. You are fucking stupid and people like you should just walk into a forest and stay there. So ignorant, so hateful.
It would be like sherpas having to live in louisana and then do a swimming marathon, their bodies have adapted over centuries to live in environments like that
@@tendies9248 And they'd have to pay half a million to do it!; Maybe they could just trade; A Sherpa takes you up Everest, and then you have to be his swim coach!
Small appendage syndrome
It takes TEN DAYS to get to BASE camp?! I’m truly unable to grasp the size of this mountain. I’ve watched so many videos and nothing helps!
I think you have to watch carefully and look for more videos on this topic. Usually CZcams recommends a lot of similar videos.
You have to WALK from Kathmandu to EBC. It's about a 200 km distance. 125 miles if you're American.
Think I'll just sit in the nice hot 🥵 jacuzzi and watch these fools freeze themselves 🥶
You should be more respectful to any people. It doesn't matter who they are: climbers or not, alive or dead...
What about the cameraman is he sick
Why?
@@SurvivorsStories Asking
~17% chances of death.
How did you count?
@@SurvivorsStories 1 death out of 6 summit endeavors. 16.667%
Arrogance Zone.
No view is worth it
Hey, if I smoke don't climb, am overweight and old, can I still hire a company to summit me for $50k while paying Sherpas who risk their lives trying to support their families a fraction of that and throwing my junk O2 bottles away plus other crap? Pathetic
I think you need have a nice BIGBURGER, smoke a cigar, drink some vine staying at home

Everest - the TRASH Zone
Half this documentary is them checking each other bums...climb the mountain 🏔️ already
Mother, no it’s Elohiym (GOD) him. Females come from him. That why they call woman, man first 😊
Unless you're interested in the physiology involved with high-altitude climbing, this is pretty boring. Also, if you have or are recovering from a respiratory infection, you shouldn't be climbing above 20,000 feet. Or, probably even a lower altitude than that.
Any doctor who encourages this kind of lifestyle, should NOT be a doctor.
2023...... 17 deaths
This is so boring I can’t watch anymore.
I have no new old documentaries yet. Wait for the moment ^ ^)
Big deal... top of the world
A stupid endeavor.
It's been said before, the amount of trash shown in this documentary WAS disgusting. Meanwhile, AFAIK expeditions advertise with everything brought up there will also be taken down again. No clue if it's true but it better would.
Whatʼs absolutely shocking to me is the fact that people have to walk by the dead. I understand it's apparently impossible to bring the bodies home, at least from a certain altitude. But why's nobody got the respect and decency to cover them in some snow, at least? This is what human beings do to other humans for thousands of years. At least if youʼve got a heart instead of a rock.
But can they shop ALL day on Black Friday?? I think not! 🥸
😂
