I for one had no expectation of publication-ready material and I enjoyed (well I did not enjoy the misfortune that came upon Mr. Fossett) your presentation. Thank you. It truely brings home the nature of the terrain and the vastness of the search area. Quite why you should have been criticised for making this material available completely escapes me. But you knew this already:-) Thanks. |

Groups who walked the ground were experienced mountaineers and they
had a hard time due to altitude and terrain. Their recovery by chopper due to Wx and end of the area search, got them back to rally point before dark and before Wx closed in and was a safety measure. Chopper pictures gave credit to organizations who furnished the choppers. Expect the DNA test results of the small pieces of bone found, to show if animals got to the body. From my experience using DNA testing, it will take 2-3 months (or longer) to get any results from DNA tests. Since the crash burned, wonder why one of the Satellites didn't pick up???? No matter the cause, sorry end to a flamboyant flier. He at least died with his boots on, as we say here in Texas. Big John Geez....... The crash was below treeline, must be at 10,200 - 10,500 of so... Experienced mountianeers should not have a big problem with that altitude or terrain. Heck alot of people ski and snowmobile alot higher then that for most of the day, and that is alot more of a workout. With that said it sure looks bad for Steve and probably his demise. Altho it reminds me of a movie a while back, Wild Things, I think. Just throw around some teeth and maybe a bone of a pinky and some ID at the crash site or close and walla, you are "gone".... |

Actually, extensive independent research has revealed that USENET, rather than low testosterone is possibly the highest ranking factor attributed to old age grouchiness. :-) DH |
