  1. Early May 1996 is a time that is seared into the memories of mountaineers across the globe. Eight climbers who were caught in a blizzard high on Mount Everest died in one of the worst disasters the climbing world had ever seen. It was also the best-documented. Writer Jon Krakauer was part of a guided expedition covering his experience for Outside magazine and later wrote the bestselling book “Into Thin Air.” Thirty years later, Krakauer sat down with @NationalGeographic’s Grayson Schaffer and reflected on the disaster, why he wishes he’d never have gone, and the current state of Everest climbing:

  5. Here's an example of #China using cinematic feature films as #nationalist #propaganda. It's a very well done, high budget film. You can see how dramatic films like these are used to promote nationalistic pride. These state approved propaganda films are disguised as entertainment & are designed to brainwash citizens, over time.

    It's really not that different than how the USA film industry creates a lot of state approved propaganda films that aid/abet nationalistic BS too.

    *Qomolangma is #Tibetan for #MountEverest
    ‐----------
    " It is based on the real-life expedition of four #Chinese #mountaineers in 1960. Two generations of Chinese mountaineers who scaled Mount #Qomolangma from the perilous north side in 1960 and 1975. Finally in 1975 they held the last chance and successfully reached the top of Qomolangma. It was the first success in the history of mankind to climb Qomolangma's north side. "
