Eleven mountaineers killed on K2, the world's second highest Mountain
Eleven mountaineers killed on K2, the world's second highest Mountain
.
On August 2, 2008, eleven mountaineers from international expeditions died following an avalanche on the Himalayan mountain K2, the second-highest mountain on Earth. Three others were seriously injured. It was the worst accident in the history of K2.
My condolences to the families of the climbers and of course they were brave, most of them tried saving others when the serac fell.
The collapse of a large serac was responsible for causing the deaths of 11 climbers on the world's second highest mountain, K2
A serac (originally from Swiss French sérac, a type of crumbly white cheese) is a block or column of ice formed by intersecting crevasses on a glacier.
The Pakistani military started a rescue operation early on August 4, 2008, using two helicopters. They rescued two injured and frostbitten Dutch climbers from the base camp.Four climbers, including an Italian were making their own way down the mountain. The four were flown to Skardu for treatment.
Names of the climbers who were killed,
Dren Mandi?, Jehan Baig, Kyeong-Hyo Park, Hyo-Gyeong Kim, Dong-Jin Hwang, Rolf Bae, Jumic Bhote, Pasang Bhote, Hugues D’Aubarede, Gerard McDonnell.
Two Nepalese, Two pakistanis, three South koreans, one Irish , One french and One was from Norway.
Crevasses are known cause of deaths on K2 because of the hanging glacier.
Other website mentioned that this happened in the dead zone, above 8000M.

Try a Different Word, like 'Lost' or 'Taken Out'
Trying to keep 'stop-words' (words that make the spider give you PSAs instead of paying-ads) out of my articles, the third word of your title appeared on a list of stop-words this program found on my page.
Please change the third word in your title!

Myth, you must be making mirth!
These people died, they are not "lost" or "taken out."
These so-called "stop" words appear on AdSense pages all the time without the dreaded PSAs.
Sounds like whoever created that "stop" word program is pulling the wool over people's eyes.
But maybe I'll try my own experiment using the no-no words just to see what happens.
P.S. I notice that page where people are supposed to insert their copy has plenty of AdSense ads on it... maybe its creator's purpose is to drive people to his page, where they'll see the ads and click on them?
stop words
totally agree.

@Idlewild: I Dunno, JDub Highly Recommended That One.
True, there were two other ones he mentioned before that one; but he actually re-mentioned that one!

Just curious...
There have been plenty of posts here about bizarre murders, etc., and none of them had PSAs, as far as I remember.
The rare times I see PSAs on Xomba it's for something related to p0rn ... newd and nekkid (in their original spelllings) are the two words I know will earn you PSAs.
There is no list that is 100% accurate, Idlewild
My article says that there is no rhyme nor reason to what Google lists as stop words. Neither of the two websites I referenced in the Xombyte list anything that is 100% accurate.
There is nothing wrong with making money on something, besides. If someone is flirting with the edge of the PSA's then a change of writing subjects is warranted, but that doesn't mean that the rest of us have no reason to see what words may be on the list.
DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?
How sad. Prayers for the families.
Thank you for sharing the news article.
"Stop" words
No, but I don't feel that first site is accurate at all... except for porn-related words.
I read that first Web site and they say that these words "may" led to PSAs; they also couch their listing of words with terms like "possible," "reputed," "speculation," etc.
And besides "die," "death," etc. --words that we see on Xomba every day with regular ads -- their "poison" words include a whole range of medical words: cancer, burn, aneurysm, etc. As someone who writes medical copy, I know that these words do NOT attract PSAs. In fact, I don't know how hospitals or medical-related companies could place AdSense ads at all if those words were banned.
Speaking of which, they list "pharmacy" and "pharmaceutical" as "stop" words.
Welcome, it is really
Welcome, it is really sad.

That's correct.
PSA=no money for the writer of the article

Mythman is right
Altough i hardly think it's appropriate discussing the ads and not the content in the Xombyte,Mythman is correct,You already have PSA's probably because of that word. Notice you only get volunteer ads? that's PSA's they won't pay anything. PSA's are not always those big text banners
@Martin123: Is a Garden Less a Garden If You Also Harvest Weeds?
Now that I think about it, I think I remember that the admins have put some sort of code in that forces the spiders to read only the one article's content (so I don't think you're dragging everybody into PSA-ville if you write stop-words in your title);
But the title still pulls THE WRITER into PSA-ville.
I know it may not be 'appropriate' to discuss the particular a— ... 'friends' messages,' but the quality of the writers' content DIRECTLY effects the quality of the @Ð$
