Excellent, David.

Man:
WHAT'S GOING ON, ED?
12
00:00:31,072 --> 00:00:33,116
BREATHING QUICKLY RIGHT NOW
WON'T HELP YOU, CARTER
13
00:00:33,408 --> 00:00:36,786
AND I KNOW THIS IS REALLY SCARY.

AND:
26
00:01:56,741 --> 00:01:59,994
Foster:
FIVE AND A HALF MILES
ABOVE SEA LEVEL.
27
00:02:00,286 --> 00:02:07,711
THE HIGH HIMALAYAS STAND FIXED
AGAINST THE WIND AND CLOUDS.
28
00:02:09,087 --> 00:02:13,758
THE AIR IS SO THIN,
IT IS NOT LIFE-SUSTAINING.
29
00:02:14,050 --> 00:02:19,472
WITHIN HOURS, THE LIVING BEGIN
TO DETERIORATE.
30
00:02:20,515 --> 00:02:24,978
BUT HUMANS COME HERE
AND STRUGGLE FOR EACH BREATH
31
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:29,607
TO STAND BRIEFLY
ON THE HIGHEST POINT ON EARTH.
32
00:02:29,899 --> 00:02:32,235
Man:
IT'S A LIVING HELL.
33
00:02:32,527 --> 00:02:36,531
THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE IT
IS AN UTTER EXHAUSTION.
34
00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:38,825
YOU REALLY DON'T CARE IF YOU DIE
35
00:02:39,117 --> 00:02:40,869
OR IF YOU JUST SIT DOWN
36
00:02:41,161 --> 00:02:44,414
AND DON'T GO ANY FURTHER.
37
00:02:44,706 --> 00:02:50,128
Foster:
IN 1996, EIGHT PEOPLE DIED
IN A SINGLE DAY ON EVEREST.
38
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:54,716
SCIENTISTS BELIEVE MANY,
IF NOT ALL OF THOSE DEATHS
39
00:02:55,008 --> 00:03:00,472
COULD HAVE BEEN DUE TO HYPOXIA,
OR LACK OF OXYGEN TO THE BRAIN.
40
00:03:00,764 --> 00:03:02,807
Man:
JUDGMENT BECOMES IMPAIRED.
41
00:03:03,099 --> 00:03:04,642
A PERSON BECOMES CONFUSED.
42
00:03:04,934 --> 00:03:08,396
THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE
THEY ARE AS IT GETS WORSE.
43
00:03:08,688 --> 00:03:11,191
PEOPLE HALLUCINATE.
44
00:03:11,483 --> 00:03:15,528
SO ALL SORTS OF MENTAL CHANGES
CAN TAKE PLACE
45
00:03:15,820 --> 00:03:20,617
AS THE BRAIN STARTS TO BECOME
MORE AND MORE ABNORMAL.
46
00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:24,079
Man:
IT'S A VERY SLOW
AND ARDUOUS PROCESS.
47
00:03:24,371 --> 00:03:28,541
YOU TAKE A STEP, YOU BREATHE,
YOU TAKE ANOTHER STEP.
48
00:03:28,833 --> 00:03:32,212
THAT'S ALL YOUR MIND IS
OCCUPIED WITH
49
00:03:32,504 --> 00:03:36,466
IS TAKING EACH INDIVIDUAL STEP.
50
00:03:36,758 --> 00:03:42,722
Foster:
FOR EVERY SIX SUCCESSFUL SUMMITS
ON EVEREST, ONE PERSON WILL DIE.
51
00:03:43,014 --> 00:03:46,518
WITH MORE PEOPLE CLIMBING
INTO THE DEATH ZONE...
52
00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:48,937
ABOVE 26,000 FEET...
53
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:51,064
ONE CRITICAL QUESTION IS
54
00:03:51,356 --> 00:03:54,567
HOW OXYGEN DEPRIVATION
AFFECTS THE BRAIN.
55
00:03:54,859 --> 00:03:59,531
DAVID BREASHEARS, A HIGH-ALTITUDE
CLIMBER AND FILMMAKER
56
00:03:59,823 --> 00:04:03,076
HAS STOOD ON TOP
OF EVEREST THREE TIMES.
57
00:04:03,368 --> 00:04:04,911
IT'S JUST HARD WORK.
58
00:04:05,203 --> 00:04:08,456
EVERYTHING ABOUT BEING
AT ALTITUDE IS HARD.
59
00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:12,794
WE GO UP WITH THE BEST
TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO US
60
00:04:13,086 --> 00:04:15,380
THE BEST TRAINING
61
00:04:15,672 --> 00:04:20,927
AND YOU CAN STILL END UP
FROZEN TO DEATH AT 27,500 FEET.
62
00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:25,181
THAT'S WHAT MAKES EVEREST
EVEREST.
63
00:04:25,473 --> 00:04:30,020
Foster:
DAVID WAS MAKING THE IMAX FILM,
"EVEREST", LAST YEAR
64
00:04:30,311 --> 00:04:33,523
WHEN A STORM CLAIMED
EIGHT CLIMBERS' LIVES.
65
00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:40,613
HE HELPED RESCUE SOME,
BUT OTHERS WERE BEYOND HELP.
66
00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:45,493
HE IS RETURNING TO FILM
AND LEAD AN EXPEDITION
67
00:04:45,785 --> 00:04:48,955
THAT WILL EXPLORE THE EFFECTS
OF ALTITUDE
68
00:04:49,247 --> 00:04:51,458
ON THE BODY AND MIND.
69
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:56,046
Breashears:
EVERYONE THINKS THAT THEY'RE
THINKING VERY CLEARLY UP HIGH
70
00:04:56,338 --> 00:05:00,133
AND YET BY VIRTUE OF GOING UP
INTO THAT ATMOSPHERE
71
00:05:00,425 --> 00:05:04,888
YOU GREATLY INCREASE YOUR
LIKELIHOOD FOR MAKING AN ERROR.
72
00:05:05,180 --> 00:05:08,183
Foster:
ON THE EARLY EVEREST EXPEDITIONS
73
00:05:08,475 --> 00:05:15,357
CLIMBERS TREKKED FOR WEEKS TO
GET TO THE BASE OF THE MOUNTAIN.
74
00:05:16,149 --> 00:05:22,739
TODAY, THEY FLY INTO
A SHERPA VILLAGE AT 9,000 FEET.
75
00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:33,583
IT WILL TAKE TEN DAYS TO ASCEND
THE 9,000 FEET IN ELEVATION
76
00:05:33,875 --> 00:05:38,088
TO EVEREST BASE CAMP.
77
00:05:38,630 --> 00:05:45,220
BASE CAMP IS A TEMPORARY CITY
OF TENTS HOUSING 300 PEOPLE
78
00:05:45,512 --> 00:05:48,723
TO SUPPORT NINE EXPEDITIONS.
79
00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:51,351
THE ACCOMMODATIONS MAY BE CRUDE
80
00:05:51,643 --> 00:05:57,649
BUT MOST TEAMS HAVE A SATELLITE
LINK TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
81
00:05:57,941 --> 00:06:00,735
IT LOOKS LIKE ABOUT
30 PEOPLE STANDING THERE...
82
00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:04,447
Foster:
DAVID BREASHEARS MEETS UP
WITH HIS TEAM MEMBERS
83
00:06:04,739 --> 00:06:07,450
AND THEY SCOPE OUT THE ROUTE
UP THE MOUNTAIN.
84
00:06:07,742 --> 00:06:09,077
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK
85
00:06:09,369 --> 00:06:12,205
ABOUT THE UPPER PART THERE
BEFORE CAMP ONE?
86
00:06:12,497 --> 00:06:14,791
Foster:
DAVID CARTER, FROM INDIANA
87
00:06:15,083 --> 00:06:19,379
IS RETURNING TO EVEREST AFTER
AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT IN 1991.
88
00:06:19,671 --> 00:06:21,297
WE ALWAYS PUT
LADDERS THERE
89
00:06:21,589 --> 00:06:24,968
AND THAT'S THE TOUGHEST PART
OF THE WHOLE ICEFALL THERE.
90
00:06:25,260 --> 00:06:27,887
Foster:
ED VIESTURS WILL BE GUIDING CARTER.
91
00:06:28,179 --> 00:06:29,597
CONSIDERED ONE OF TODAY'S
92
00:06:29,889 --> 00:06:31,850
PREMIER HIGH-ALTITUDE
MOUNTAINEERS
93
00:06:32,142 --> 00:06:35,603
ED HAS CLIMBED EVEREST FOUR
TIMES, TWICE WITHOUT OXYGEN.
94
00:06:35,895 --> 00:06:39,482
JANGBU SHERPA CLIMBED EVEREST
FOR THE SECOND TIME
95
00:06:39,774 --> 00:06:41,693
ON DAVID'S LAST EXPEDITION.
96
00:06:41,985 --> 00:06:44,946
HE IS IN CHARGE
OF THE LARGE SHERPA STAFF
97
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:47,240
THAT WILL SUPPORT THE TEAM.
98
00:06:47,532 --> 00:06:51,619
THESE CLIMBERS WILL TAKE PART
IN A BATTERY OF SCIENTIFIC TESTS
99
00:06:51,911 --> 00:06:57,042
THAT WILL GAUGE THEIR
PERFORMANCES AT ALTITUDE.
100
00:06:57,334 --> 00:07:02,964
ED VIESTURS LIVES AND TRAINS
IN SEATTLE.
101
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:06,634
TWO WEEKS BEFORE LEAVING
FOR THE MOUNTAIN
102
00:07:06,926 --> 00:07:08,970
THE CLIMBERS JOINED HIM
103
00:07:09,262 --> 00:07:13,183
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
FOR BASELINE TESTS.
104
00:07:13,475 --> 00:07:17,312
DR. BROWNIE SCHOENE LOOKS
FOR PHYSIOLOGICAL CLUES
105
00:07:17,604 --> 00:07:21,566
THAT DETERMINE WHO WILL
PERFORM WELL AT ALTITUDE.
106
00:07:21,858 --> 00:07:24,319
ONE DETERMINANT IS
LUNG CAPACITY.
107
00:07:24,611 --> 00:07:27,906
Schoene:
IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE BIG LUNGS?
108
00:07:28,198 --> 00:07:31,201
YES, BECAUSE IN THAT REGARD,
YOU CAN MOVE MORE AIR
109
00:07:31,493 --> 00:07:33,495
OBTAIN MORE OXYGEN
WITHIN THE LUNGS
110
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:35,622
THAT THEN THE BLOOD CAN PICK UP
111
00:07:35,914 --> 00:07:37,999
AND DELIVER
TO THE MUSCLE TISSUES.
112
00:07:38,291 --> 00:07:42,837
Foster:
WHEN WE BREATHE IN, OXYGEN
MOLECULES PASS THROUGH THE LUNGS
113
00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:44,798
INTO THE AIR SACS.
114
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:48,134
HERE, PURPLE OXYGEN-DEFICIENT
BLOOD CELLS
115
00:07:48,426 --> 00:07:51,262
BECOME REVITALIZED
AND RED WITH OXYGEN
116
00:07:51,554 --> 00:07:55,225
AND ARE PUMPED BY THE HEART
THROUGHOUT THE BODY.
117
00:07:55,517 --> 00:07:58,978
DR. SCHOENE MEASURES
THE CLIMBERS' HEART RATES
118
00:07:59,270 --> 00:08:00,772
AND ABILITY TO WORK.
119
00:08:01,064 --> 00:08:02,857
CARTER IS WELL ABOVE AVERAGE.
120
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:04,526
AT THE ELITE LEVEL
121
00:08:04,818 --> 00:08:07,153
ARE ED VIESTURS
AND DAVID BREASHEARS.
122
00:08:07,445 --> 00:08:10,031
Schoene:
THE ELITE HIGH-ALTITUDE CLIMBER
123
00:08:10,323 --> 00:08:12,659
CAN TRUDGE THROUGH THE SNOW,
BREAK TRAIL
124
00:08:12,951 --> 00:08:20,166
CLIMB UP A CLIFF AT THEIR
MAXIMUM CAPABILITY FOR HOURS.
125
00:08:20,458 --> 00:08:22,502
Foster:
HIGH ON EVEREST
126
00:08:22,794 --> 00:08:25,797
MANY CLIMBERS APPROACH
THEIR MAXIMUM HEART RATE
127
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,882
JUST GASPING IN THE THIN AIR.
128
00:08:28,174 --> 00:08:31,219
SOME MAY COLLAPSE,
UNABLE TO GO ON.
129
00:08:31,511 --> 00:08:32,679
GOOD JOB, GOOD JOB.
130
00:08:35,390 --> 00:08:38,560
Foster:
THE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN IN CARTER'S BLOOD
131
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:41,021
IS MEASURED
BY DR. HOWARD DONNER.
132
00:08:41,312 --> 00:08:43,064
CARTER, THIS
LITTLE MACHINE
133
00:08:43,356 --> 00:08:45,400
THAT GOES BEEP
IS AN OXIMETER.
134
00:08:45,692 --> 00:08:47,986
THE TOP NUMBER HERE
IS YOUR SATURATION
135
00:08:48,278 --> 00:08:51,573
WHICH IS A MEASUREMENT
OF THE OXYGEN IN YOUR BLOOD.
136
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:55,702
100 MEANS THAT
YOU'RE COMPLETELY SATURATED
137
00:08:55,994 --> 00:09:00,081
WHICH IS WHAT WE'D EXPECT
CLOSE TO SEA LEVEL.
138
00:09:00,373 --> 00:09:03,209
AS YOU GO HIGHER,
THIS NUMBER IS GOING TO DROP.
139
00:09:03,501 --> 00:09:05,378
THIS LOWER NUMBER IS YOUR PULSE.
140
00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:07,505
AND YOU HAVE A NICE SLOW PULSE.
141
00:09:07,797 --> 00:09:10,383
IT'S 63, WHICH IS NORMAL
FOR YOU RESTING.
142
00:09:10,675 --> 00:09:12,427
AND AS YOU GO UP IN ALTITUDE
143
00:09:12,719 --> 00:09:16,014
A NORMAL RESPONSE IS
TO SEE YOUR PULSE RATE GO UP.
144
00:09:16,306 --> 00:09:21,603
Foster:
CARTER IS NOW GIVEN
A DECREASED LEVEL OF OXYGEN
145
00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:27,025
TO SIMULATE GOING
TO HIGH ALTITUDE.
146
00:09:27,317 --> 00:09:31,196
HIS BODY STRIVES
TO GET MORE OXYGEN.
147
00:09:31,488 --> 00:09:34,949
AS CARTER'S BLOOD-OXYGEN
SATURATION FALLS
148
00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:38,995
HIS BREATHING INCREASES
AND HIS HEART SPEEDS UP
149
00:09:39,287 --> 00:09:44,334
TRYING TO PUMP MORE BLOOD MADE
RED WITH OXYGEN TO HIS ORGANS.
150
00:09:44,626 --> 00:09:48,672
OVER TIME, MORE OXYGEN-CARRYING
BLOOD CELLS WILL BE PRODUCED
151
00:09:48,963 --> 00:09:51,883
TO CARRY THE OXYGEN
WHERE IT IS MOST NEEDED...
152
00:09:52,175 --> 00:09:54,135
TO THE MUSCLES AND BRAIN.
153
00:09:54,427 --> 00:09:58,223
THESE PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES
ARE CALLED ACCLIMATIZATION
154
00:09:58,515 --> 00:10:02,268
AND THEY ENABLE A PERSON
TO SURVIVE AT HIGH ALTITUDE.
155
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:05,313
YOU'RE GETTING A LITTLE
BIT HIGHER ALTITUDE.
156
00:10:05,605 --> 00:10:07,273
YOU FEELING ALL RIGHT?
157
00:10:07,565 --> 00:10:10,652
Foster:
DUE TO THIS SUDDEN EXPOSURE TO HIGH ALTITUDE
158
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:14,155
CARTER'S OXYGEN SATURATION
PLUMMETS.
159
00:10:14,447 --> 00:10:20,203
HE WILL ULTIMATELY PASS OUT FROM
THE LACK OF OXYGEN TO HIS BRAIN.
160
00:10:20,495 --> 00:10:23,081
WE'VE FOUND SOME
ABNORMALITIES PREVIOUSLY
161
00:10:23,373 --> 00:10:25,041
IN HIGH-ALTITUDE
CLIMBERS...
162
00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:28,378
Foster:
DR. PETER HACKETT ADDRESSES THE CLIMBERS
163
00:10:28,670 --> 00:10:32,590
ON THE EFFECTS OF
DECREASED OXYGEN TO THE BRAIN.
164
00:10:32,882 --> 00:10:34,843
ONE OF THE MORE
PRESSING QUESTIONS
165
00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:36,761
IN HIGH-ALTITUDE MEDICINE IS
166
00:10:37,053 --> 00:10:40,306
DOES CLIMBING TO EXTREME
ALTITUDE CAUSE BRAIN DAMAGE?
167
00:10:40,598 --> 00:10:43,351
WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THAT
IN A NUMBER OF WAYS.
168
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:45,729
ONE IS BY M.R.I. SCANS.
169
00:10:46,021 --> 00:10:49,065
SOME WORK INDICATES
THAT SOME CLIMBERS
170
00:10:49,357 --> 00:10:52,444
WHO GO TO EXTREME ALTITUDE
WITHOUT OXYGEN
171
00:10:52,736 --> 00:10:55,905
DO COME BACK WITH
SLIGHTLY SMALLER BRAINS.
172
00:10:56,197 --> 00:11:01,161
IF CELLS OF THE BRAIN ACTUALLY
DIE, THE BRAIN WILL GET SMALLER.
173
00:11:01,453 --> 00:11:03,413
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WITH STROKES
174
00:11:03,705 --> 00:11:06,666
AND OTHER THINGS THAT CAUSE
BRAIN CELLS TO DIE.
175
00:11:06,958 --> 00:11:09,336
WE'LL LOOK AT THE VOLUMES
OF THE BRAIN
176
00:11:09,627 --> 00:11:11,129
BY THESE SPECIAL SCANS.
177
00:11:11,421 --> 00:11:14,966
THESE ARE UNUSUAL PEOPLE
GOING TO A VERY UNUSUAL PLACE.
178
00:11:15,258 --> 00:11:17,427
SO THERE'S SOME
OPPORTUNITIES HERE.
179
00:11:17,719 --> 00:11:20,638
DAVID AND ED HAVE BEEN
TO ALTITUDE MANY TIMES
180
00:11:20,930 --> 00:11:22,766
AND WE MIGHT EXPECT THEM
181
00:11:23,058 --> 00:11:26,394
TO REACT A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENTLY THAN DAVID CARTER
182
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:30,857
WHO IS A RELATIVE NEWCOMER AT
THESE KIND OF EXTREME ALTITUDES.
183
00:11:31,149 --> 00:11:33,777
I'VE LIVED BY THE RIVER
FOR 20 YEARS...
184
00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:38,073
Foster:
PSYCHOMETRIC TESTING WILL REVEAL SUBTLE CHANGES
185
00:11:38,365 --> 00:11:41,618
IN THE CLIMBERS' ABILITIES
TO PROCESS INFORMATION
186
00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:43,286
AS THEY GO HIGHER.
187
00:11:43,578 --> 00:11:45,914
Woman:
WHAT WE WILL EXPECT TO SEE IS
188
00:11:46,206 --> 00:11:48,708
THAT THERE IS A SLOWING
IN SPEECH.
189
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,586
THERE'LL BE A SLOWING
IN REACTION TIME.
190
00:11:51,878 --> 00:11:54,923
WE MAY SEE A LOT OF MISSPEAKS.
191
00:11:55,215 --> 00:12:01,554
THEY WON'T SAY THINGS QUITE
THE WAY THEY WOULD AT SEA LEVEL.
192
00:12:01,846 --> 00:12:05,517
THERE'LL BE SLURRING
AND HESITATIONS.
193
00:12:05,809 --> 00:12:07,811
THIS ONE'S A LITTLE
MORE DIFFICULT.
194
00:12:08,103 --> 00:12:10,188
THIS TIME WHAT
YOU'RE GOING TO DO IS
195
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:11,815
GO DOWN THE COLUMNS
196
00:12:12,107 --> 00:12:15,026
AND YOU'RE GOING TO SAY
THE COLOR THAT YOU SEE.
197
00:12:15,318 --> 00:12:17,696
YOU HAVE TO DISREGARD
THE WORD YOU SEE.
198
00:12:17,987 --> 00:12:19,531
TELL ME THE COLOR
199
00:12:19,823 --> 00:12:23,159
THAT THE WORD IS
PRINTED IN, OKAY?
200
00:12:23,451 --> 00:12:28,665
BLUE, RED, GREEN,
BLUE, RED... BLUE
201
00:12:28,957 --> 00:12:32,836
GREEN, RED, GREEN
202
00:12:33,128 --> 00:12:36,715
BLUE, GREEN, BLUE...
203
00:12:37,007 --> 00:12:38,591
STOP.
204
00:12:38,883 --> 00:12:41,011
THAT'S GOING TO BE FUN
AT ALTITUDE.
205
00:12:41,302 --> 00:12:42,679
ISN'T THAT FUN?
206
00:12:42,971 --> 00:12:46,725
IF CHARLES BEATS DAVID
IN A SPRINT
207
00:12:47,017 --> 00:12:50,270
WHICH MAN IS
THE FASTER RUNNER?
208
00:12:50,562 --> 00:12:51,938
CHARLES.
209
00:12:52,230 --> 00:12:54,774
Hackett:
PEOPLE LIKE ED VIESTURS AND OTHERS
210
00:12:55,066 --> 00:12:56,568
WHO MAKE A CAREER
211
00:12:56,860 --> 00:12:59,904
OUT OF DOING THESE
VERY HIGH PEAKS WITHOUT OXYGEN
212
00:13:00,196 --> 00:13:02,741
MAY HAVE SOME LONG-TERM
BRAIN ABNORMALITIES.
213
00:13:03,033 --> 00:13:04,701
SOME STUDIES INDICATE
214
00:13:04,993 --> 00:13:08,580
THAT THEY DO HAVE VERY MINOR,
SUBTLE COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTION
215
00:13:08,872 --> 00:13:11,875
AND IT CAN BE FOUND
ONLY ON PSYCHOMETRIC TESTING.
216
00:13:12,167 --> 00:13:13,960
THERE'S NOTHING OBVIOUS.
217
00:13:14,252 --> 00:13:17,797
THEIR M.R.I. s SHOW THAT
THERE CAN BE STRUCTURAL CHANGES.
218
00:13:18,089 --> 00:13:22,177
WE HAVE YET TO HAVE
A GOOD CORRELATION
219
00:13:22,469 --> 00:13:24,637
BETWEEN THE M.R.I.
STRUCTURAL CHANGES
220
00:13:24,929 --> 00:13:26,473
AND THE COGNITIVE CHANGES.
221
00:13:26,765 --> 00:13:29,434
THAT'S GOING TO TAKE MORE TIME,
MORE STUDIES
222
00:13:29,726 --> 00:13:32,312
MORE RESEARCH
LIKE WE'RE DOING NOW.
223
00:13:32,604 --> 00:13:36,024
Foster:
DR. HOWARD DONNER TREKS INTO BASE CAMP
224
00:13:36,316 --> 00:13:38,443
WHERE HE WILL BE STATIONED
225
00:13:38,735 --> 00:13:42,113
TO MONITOR THE HEALTH
OF THE CLIMBERS.
226
00:13:42,405 --> 00:13:46,159
HOWARD! YOU MADE IT!
227
00:13:46,451 --> 00:13:48,578
MAN, YOU'RE MOVING
LIKE AN OLD MAN.
228
00:13:48,870 --> 00:13:52,624
I'M NOT READY TO SPEAK IN
COHERENT SENTENCES, SO GO EASY.
229
00:13:52,916 --> 00:13:56,044
Breashears:
WELCOME TO BASE CAMP.
230
00:13:56,336 --> 00:13:57,921
THANKS, MAN.
231
00:13:58,213 --> 00:13:59,839
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
232
00:14:00,131 --> 00:14:02,342
THIS IS JANGBU,
OUR SIRDAR.
233
00:14:02,634 --> 00:14:04,636
JANGBU,
GOOD TO MEET YOU.
234
00:14:04,928 --> 00:14:05,970
YOU LOOK BLUE.
235
00:14:06,262 --> 00:14:07,305
GIVE ME YOUR HAND.
236
00:14:07,597 --> 00:14:10,100
I'VE GOT A PULSE
OXIMETER HERE.
237
00:14:10,392 --> 00:14:13,103
I DON'T TRUST YOU
WITH MEDICAL DEVICES.
238
00:14:13,395 --> 00:14:15,105
YOU'RE ALIVE.
239
00:14:15,397 --> 00:14:17,899
YOUR SATURATION
LEVEL, 74
240
00:14:18,191 --> 00:14:20,777
AND YOUR PULSE
IS ABOUT 85.
241
00:14:21,069 --> 00:14:26,157
Foster:
A BLOOD OXYGEN LEVEL OF 74%
WOULD BE ALARMING AT SEA LEVEL
242
00:14:26,449 --> 00:14:30,870
BUT IS NORMAL FOR SOMEONE WHO
HAS JUST REACHED 18,000 FEET.
243
00:14:31,162 --> 00:14:33,248
WELL, WOULD YOU
LIKE SOME TEA?
244
00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:35,500
WE'LL GET YOU
WARMED UP.
245
00:14:35,792 --> 00:14:39,421
Foster:
AS HOWARD ACCLIMATIZES
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS
246
00:14:39,713 --> 00:14:42,966
THE LEVEL OF OXYGEN IN HIS BLOOD
SHOULD INCREASE.
247
00:14:43,258 --> 00:14:47,470
IF IT DOESN'T, HE MAY BECOME ILL
WITH ACUTE MOUNTAIN SICKNESS.
248
00:14:47,762 --> 00:14:50,765
THE EARLY WARNING SIGNS
OF MOUNTAIN SICKNESS
249
00:14:51,057 --> 00:14:54,102
ARE PRIMARILY HEADACHE,
FOLLOWED BY DIZZINESS
250
00:14:54,394 --> 00:14:56,980
TROUBLE SLEEPING
AND LACK OF APPETITE.
251
00:14:57,272 --> 00:14:59,691
AND THEN AS IT PROGRESSES
252
00:14:59,983 --> 00:15:03,445
ONE DEVELOPS A MORE SEVERE
HEADACHE, NAUSEA AND VOMITING
253
00:15:03,737 --> 00:15:07,073
AND TROUBLE WITH THE BALANCE
OR COORDINATION.
254
00:15:07,365 --> 00:15:09,492
AND THAT IS THE HALLMARK SIGN
255
00:15:09,784 --> 00:15:13,246
OF PROGRESSION
TO DEFINITE COGNITIVE PROBLEMS.
256
00:15:13,538 --> 00:15:15,498
I'VE HAVE ALTITUDE SICKNESS
BEFORE
257
00:15:15,790 --> 00:15:18,043
AND I KNOW
HOW BAD A HEADACHE CAN GET.
258
00:15:18,335 --> 00:15:22,088
THE TWO THINGS
THAT REALLY AFFECT YOU
259
00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:27,093
ARE SHORTAGE OF BREATH
AND THE LACK OF SLEEP.
260
00:15:27,385 --> 00:15:30,138
SOMETIMES YOU REST
AND YOU FEEL OKAY.
261
00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:33,683
THEN YOU START WALKING,
AND IT'S NOT OKAY.
262
00:15:33,975 --> 00:15:38,188
AFTER MY HEAD HAS GONE
TOO BIGGER LIKE THIS...
263
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,815
I EXPERIENCED
THE MOST SHOCKING HEADACHE
264
00:15:41,107 --> 00:15:42,442
I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE
265
00:15:42,734 --> 00:15:44,110
AND I FELT SICK.
266
00:15:44,402 --> 00:15:47,447
AND IN THE NIGHTTIME,
I TOOK TWO ASPIRIN;
267
00:15:47,739 --> 00:15:51,910
AFTER THAT, SO WHENEVER
I FELT MYSELF TO GET HEADACHE.
268
00:15:52,202 --> 00:15:53,703
NOW I'M FINE.
269
00:15:53,995 --> 00:15:56,539
Foster:
IF SYMPTOMS GET WORSE
270
00:15:56,831 --> 00:16:01,503
A PORTABLE HYPERBARIC CHAMBER,
KNOWN AS A GAMOW BAG, CAN HELP.
271
00:16:01,795 --> 00:16:03,797
WHAT'S YOUR
ALTIMETER SAY NOW?
272
00:16:04,089 --> 00:16:07,801
WE'RE ABOUT 17,600 FEET.
273
00:16:09,302 --> 00:16:13,682
Foster:
THE BAG IS INFLATED
TO INCREASE THE PRESSURE INSIDE.
274
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:17,769
THIS RESULTS IN A HIGHER DENSITY
OF OXYGEN MOLECULES.
275
00:16:18,061 --> 00:16:20,522
DOUG, WHY DON'T YOU
WATCH YOUR ALTIMETER
276
00:16:20,814 --> 00:16:23,983
AND LET US KNOW IN A MOMENT
WHAT IT'S TELLING US.
277
00:16:24,275 --> 00:16:26,361
Doug:
BOY, WE'RE DROPPING FAST!
278
00:16:26,653 --> 00:16:30,490
Foster:
THIS SIMULATES A DESCENT
OF SEVERAL THOUSAND FEET
279
00:16:30,782 --> 00:16:33,368
WHERE THE AMBIENT AIR
HOLDS MORE OXYGEN.
280
00:16:33,660 --> 00:16:35,662
DOUG, WHAT'S YOUR ALTITUDE?
281
00:16:35,954 --> 00:16:40,041
Doug:
I'M AT ABOUT 15,300 FEET NOW.
282
00:16:40,333 --> 00:16:44,254
Donner:
AT THIS ALTITUDE, PUMPING
THIS BAG UP TO TWO P.S.I.
283
00:16:44,546 --> 00:16:48,299
WILL BRING A PATIENT DOWN
TO AN ALTITUDE INSIDE THE BAG
284
00:16:48,591 --> 00:16:51,428
OF ABOUT 8,000 FEET LOWER
THAN WE ARE HERE.
285
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,431
DOUG, WHAT ALTITUDE ARE YOU AT?
286
00:16:54,723 --> 00:16:57,267
Doug:
WE'RE AT 10,900 FEET.
287
00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:00,020
MOST OF THE TIME,
PUTTING A PATIENT IN
288
00:17:00,311 --> 00:17:03,523
FOR A NUMBER OF HOURS,
THEY'LL GET SOME BENEFIT.
289
00:17:03,815 --> 00:17:07,110
IF DOUG COULDN'T WALK BECAUSE
OF SEVERE MOUNTAIN SICKNESS
290
00:17:07,402 --> 00:17:09,738
WE'D PUT HIM IN
FOR FOUR OR FIVE HOURS
291
00:17:10,030 --> 00:17:13,950
AND NOW HE'S ABLE TO WALK DOWN
THE HILL UNDER HIS OWN POWER.
292
00:17:14,242 --> 00:17:20,415
OKAY, DOUG, I'M GOING TO STOP
PUMPING AND SLOWLY DEFLATE.
293
00:17:20,707 --> 00:17:23,585
Foster:
WITHIN SECONDS,
THE PRESSURE DECREASES
294
00:17:23,877 --> 00:17:30,091
AND THE PATIENT RETURNS
TO 17,600 FEET.
295
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:31,718
ARE YOUR EARS OKAY, DOUG?
296
00:17:32,010 --> 00:17:32,969
Doug:
I'M FINE.
297
00:17:33,261 --> 00:17:34,512
HE'S BACK TO BASE CAMP
298
00:17:34,804 --> 00:17:37,140
BECAUSE THERE'S
NO MORE TENSION HERE.
299
00:17:37,432 --> 00:17:38,850
Breashears:
LAKBA?
300
00:17:39,142 --> 00:17:40,727
YES, SIR?
301
00:17:41,019 --> 00:17:41,978
MAY I HAVE TEA?
302
00:17:42,270 --> 00:17:43,396
YES.
303
00:17:43,688 --> 00:17:44,647
THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.
304
00:17:44,939 --> 00:17:46,191
WELCOME, SIR.
305
00:17:46,483 --> 00:17:49,694
IT'S 5:30 IN THE MORNING
HERE AT BASE CAMP.
306
00:17:49,986 --> 00:17:53,531
WE'LL BE DOING A LITTLE FILMING
TODAY WITH JANGBU.
307
00:17:53,823 --> 00:17:55,492
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
308
00:17:55,784 --> 00:18:01,748
WE'VE GOT OUR HARNESS ON,
OUR BOOTS AND OUR CRAMPONS.
309
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,210
AND THOSE ARE ALL
OUR TOOLS FOR THE ICEFALL
310
00:18:05,502 --> 00:18:08,088
AND SO, UH...
311
00:18:08,380 --> 00:18:14,719
I HAVE TO EAT AND DRINK
AND GET READY TO GO.
312
00:18:18,431 --> 00:18:21,267
Foster:
THE KHUMBU ICEFALL
IS A STEEP GLACIER
313
00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:26,856
RIDDLED WITH DEEP CREVASSES
AND HUGE ICE BLOCKS.
314
00:18:27,148 --> 00:18:30,735
IT CAN ONLY BE TRAVERSED
WITH THE USE OF LADDERS AND ROPE
315
00:18:31,027 --> 00:18:36,282
FIXED AND MAINTAINED
BY A TEAM OF SHERPAS.
316
00:19:04,394 --> 00:19:07,439
IT IS HERE,
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CLIMB
317
00:19:07,731 --> 00:19:13,111
WHERE THE GREATEST OBJECTIVE
DANGERS ON EVEREST LIE.
318
00:19:21,036 --> 00:19:24,205
ON THIS SECTION, FOUR LADDERS
ARE STRAPPED TOGETHER
319
00:19:24,497 --> 00:19:31,713
TO HELP CLIMBERS SCALE
A HUNDRED-FOOT WALL OF ICE.
320
00:19:34,132 --> 00:19:36,843
JANGBU AND DAVID USE
MECHANICAL ASCENDERS
321
00:19:37,135 --> 00:19:40,138
TO CLIMB UP THE FIXED ROPES.
322
00:19:40,430 --> 00:19:45,101
THIS IS CALLED "JUMARING".
323
00:19:46,603 --> 00:19:49,105
THE ICEFALL IS A JIGSAW PUZZLE
324
00:19:49,397 --> 00:19:53,109
OF GIANT BLUE ICE PUZZLE PIECES
THE SIZE OF HOUSES
325
00:19:53,401 --> 00:19:57,989
WEIGHING SOME 30 TONS EACH.
326
00:19:58,281 --> 00:20:00,492
WITHOUT WARNING,
THE BLOCKS CAN SHIFT
327
00:20:00,784 --> 00:20:07,916
AND CREVASSES CAVE IN,
TAKING CLIMBERS WITH THEM.
328
00:20:11,294 --> 00:20:14,047
DAVID JUMARS UP
THE LAST PITCH OF THE ICEFALL
329
00:20:14,339 --> 00:20:17,676
TO ARRIVE AT CAMP I.
330
00:20:17,967 --> 00:20:22,138
Breashears:
OKAY, EVERYBODY DOWN THERE,
THIS IS DAVID FROM CAMP I
331
00:20:22,430 --> 00:20:25,266
READY TO PROCEED
WITH THE HIGH-ALTITUDE TESTS.
332
00:20:25,558 --> 00:20:27,769
AND I WANTED
TO START OUT WITH, UH...
333
00:20:28,061 --> 00:20:31,189
GIVING YOU MY CURRENT,
UH, PULSE OXIMETER READING.
334
00:20:31,481 --> 00:20:34,192
UH, DO YOU COPY,
AND HOW ARE YOU DOWN THERE?
335
00:20:34,484 --> 00:20:36,986
Woman:
Yeah, we copy
336
00:20:37,278 --> 00:20:41,491
and we're ready to record your
pulse oximeter readings... over.
337
00:20:41,783 --> 00:20:42,951
HI, JENNY.
338
00:20:43,243 --> 00:20:45,078
WE REALLY MISS YOU UP HERE.
339
00:20:45,370 --> 00:20:49,791
AND I'M GOING TO STICK THIS
THING ON MY FINGER, SO STAND BY.
340
00:20:51,584 --> 00:20:52,961
MY HEART IS RACING
341
00:20:53,253 --> 00:20:56,047
BECAUSE I HAVE TO TAKE
THIS DAMN TEST UP HERE
342
00:20:56,339 --> 00:20:57,716
AND I'M NERVOUS AS HELL.
343
00:20:58,008 --> 00:20:59,300
OOPS, IT JUST WENT UP.
344
00:20:59,592 --> 00:21:05,140
UM, SO... UH, JENNY,
I HAVE IT ON MY FINGER.
345
00:21:05,432 --> 00:21:08,810
THE OXIMETER READING IS 80.
346
00:21:09,102 --> 00:21:14,399
A MORE REALISTIC READING FOR
MY PULSE WAS A FEW MINUTES AGO.
347
00:21:14,691 --> 00:21:16,151
IT WAS 78.
348
00:21:16,443 --> 00:21:19,487
BUT NOW THAT I HAVE
TO TAKE THIS TEST
349
00:21:19,779 --> 00:21:23,533
AND I GET ALL THIS TEST ANXIETY,
MY PULSE IS RACING AT 104.
350
00:21:23,825 --> 00:21:28,913
Carter:
GREEN... UH, RED,
UH, BLUE, UH, RED...
351
00:21:29,205 --> 00:21:32,542
UH, GREEN, RED, BLUE...
352
00:21:32,834 --> 00:21:34,753
Foster:
ALONG WITH ED VIESTURS
353
00:21:35,045 --> 00:21:38,715
DAVID CARTER HAS
ALSO REACHED CAMP I.
354
00:21:39,007 --> 00:21:40,759
CARTER, THIS IS TRUE AND FALSE.
355
00:21:41,051 --> 00:21:44,846
READ THE NUMBER OF EACH QUESTION
AND SAY IF IT'S TRUE OR FALSE.
356
00:21:45,138 --> 00:21:46,431
YOU HAVE 60 SECONDS.
357
00:21:46,723 --> 00:21:49,434
Donner:
You can go.
358
00:21:49,726 --> 00:21:54,689
51 IS FALSE.
359
00:21:54,981 --> 00:21:58,276
52 IS FALSE.
360
00:21:58,568 --> 00:22:00,779
53 IS FALSE.
361
00:22:01,071 --> 00:22:03,448
54... FALSE.
362
00:22:03,740 --> 00:22:06,409
55... FALSE.
363
00:22:06,701 --> 00:22:10,246
56... TRUE.
364
00:22:10,538 --> 00:22:12,999
57... FALSE.
365
00:22:13,291 --> 00:22:15,710
58... FALSE... TRUE.
366
00:22:16,002 --> 00:22:17,337
58 IS TRUE.
367
00:22:17,629 --> 00:22:24,511
59... UH, TRUE.
368
00:22:32,435 --> 00:22:36,314
Man:
OH, HI, ED.
369
00:22:37,899 --> 00:22:40,026
HI.
370
00:22:40,318 --> 00:22:41,945
HAVE A GOOD SLEEP?
371
00:22:42,237 --> 00:22:46,116
YEAH.
372
00:22:46,991 --> 00:22:48,660
GUESS WHERE
WE'RE GOING?
373
00:22:48,952 --> 00:22:50,120
BASE CAMP.
374
00:22:50,412 --> 00:22:51,579
BASE CAMP.
375
00:22:51,871 --> 00:22:52,831
YEAH.
376
00:22:53,123 --> 00:22:56,751
YEE-HAW!
377
00:22:59,379 --> 00:23:05,635
OXYGEN... WARMTH...
COTTON CLOTHING...
378
00:23:05,927 --> 00:23:06,886
WOW!
379
00:23:07,178 --> 00:23:08,138
SHOWER.
380
00:23:08,430 --> 00:23:10,432
OOH!
381
00:23:10,724 --> 00:23:16,229
HELL, IT'S
JUST DOWN THERE.
382
00:23:17,772 --> 00:23:22,485
Foster:
AT THE TOP OF THE ICEFALL, THERE
IS A BOTTLENECK OF CLIMBERS.
383
00:23:22,777 --> 00:23:27,574
ED VIESTURS PUTS ON HIS PACK
AT THE BACK OF THE LINE.
384
00:23:27,866 --> 00:23:30,702
IT'S AMAZING, YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE ON MT. EVEREST
385
00:23:30,994 --> 00:23:33,705
AND YOU'RE WAITING
IN LINE LIKE THIS.
386
00:23:33,997 --> 00:23:37,751
Foster:
IT'S ONLY ONE AT A TIME
ON THE ROPES.
387
00:23:38,043 --> 00:23:42,297
ED, DAVID AND CARTER ALL DESCEND
BACK DOWN TO BASE CAMP
388
00:23:42,589 --> 00:23:45,050
FROM CAMP I.
389
00:23:45,342 --> 00:23:49,387
THIS WILL BE THE FIRST OF
MANY TRIPS THROUGH THE ICEFALL
390
00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:52,682
IN THEIR LONG SCHEDULE
OF ACCLIMATIZATION.
391
00:23:52,974 --> 00:23:55,560
IT TAKES TIME
FOR THE BODY TO ADAPT
392
00:23:55,852 --> 00:23:58,229
TO HIGHER AND HIGHER ALTITUDES.
393
00:23:58,521 --> 00:24:03,860
CLIMBERS WILL TYPICALLY ASCEND
TO CAMP I TWICE FROM BASE CAMP.
394
00:24:04,152 --> 00:24:08,782
THEY MOVE UP TO CAMP II AND
SLEEP THERE SEVERAL NIGHTS
395
00:24:09,074 --> 00:24:11,201
BEFORE MOVING TO CAMP III.
396
00:24:11,493 --> 00:24:13,828
BEFORE THEIR FINAL PUSH
TO THE SUMMIT
397
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:18,124
CLIMBERS DESCEND TO BASE CAMP
TO REST AND GAIN THEIR STRENGTH
398
00:24:18,416 --> 00:24:23,505
BEFORE TRYING FOR THE SUMMIT.
399
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,216
WHILE CLIMBING DOWN
THROUGH THE ICEFALL
400
00:24:26,508 --> 00:24:28,176
THE CLIMBERS CROSS PATHS
401
00:24:28,468 --> 00:24:35,517
WITH A LINE OF SHERPAS BEARING
LOADS FOR THE HIGHER CAMPS.
402
00:24:35,558 --> 00:24:37,143
"SHERPA" IS THE NAME
403
00:24:37,435 --> 00:24:41,022
FOR THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
WHO LIVE IN THE EVEREST REGION.
404
00:24:41,314 --> 00:24:44,401
ALTHOUGH THEY ADAPT WELL
TO ALTITUDE
405
00:24:44,693 --> 00:24:48,154
THEY ARE NOT IMMUNE
TO ITS DEBILITATING EFFECTS.
406
00:24:48,446 --> 00:24:51,950
IF THEY PUSH THEMSELVES
TO GO UP TOO QUICKLY
407
00:24:52,242 --> 00:24:56,663
THEY, TOO, CAN SUFFER
FROM ACUTE MOUNTAIN SICKNESS.
408
00:24:56,955 --> 00:24:58,873
AT BASE CAMP, THE CLIMBERS HEAR
409
00:24:59,165 --> 00:25:02,836
THE DISTURBING NEWS OF A SHERPA
WHO WAS FOUND NEAR DEATH
410
00:25:03,128 --> 00:25:05,797
LYING IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE TRAIL.
411
00:25:06,089 --> 00:25:07,340
WHEN I SAW HIM
412
00:25:07,632 --> 00:25:11,219
HIS EYES... HIS PUPILS
WERE FIXED AND DILATED.
413
00:25:11,511 --> 00:25:13,888
HE'S... BARELY HAD A PULSE
414
00:25:14,180 --> 00:25:17,684
AND HE DIED SEVERAL MINUTES
AFTER I GOT THERE.
415
00:25:17,976 --> 00:25:21,271
I THINK HE HAD
HIGH-ALTITUDE PULMONARY EDEMA.
416
00:25:21,563 --> 00:25:22,939
WITH PULMONARY EDEMA
417
00:25:23,231 --> 00:25:26,359
THE BLOOD VESSELS IN THE LUNGS
START TO LEAK.
418
00:25:26,651 --> 00:25:31,197
THEY LEAK THIS PLASMA FLUID THAT
IS TINGED WITH RED BLOOD CELLS
419
00:25:31,489 --> 00:25:32,907
SO IT'S A LITTLE PINKISH.
420
00:25:33,199 --> 00:25:35,702
AND THE AIR SACS
START TO FILL UP WITH...
421
00:25:35,994 --> 00:25:37,912
IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE LUNG...
422
00:25:38,204 --> 00:25:40,623
USUALLY THE RIGHT FIRST,
THEN THE LEFT...
423
00:25:40,915 --> 00:25:43,585
AND EVENTUALLY,
THEY ALL FILL UP WITH FLUID.
424
00:25:43,877 --> 00:25:47,130
THE PERSON STARTS COUGHING
THIS PINK, FROTHY SPUTUM.
425
00:25:47,422 --> 00:25:48,965
CAN'T GET ANY AIR AT ALL.
426
00:25:49,257 --> 00:25:51,176
THEIR BLOOD OXYGEN LEVEL DROPS
427
00:25:51,468 --> 00:25:54,721
AND THEY GO INTO
CARDIOVASCULAR COLLAPSE AND DIE.
428
00:25:55,013 --> 00:25:58,433
WITH EACH BREATH,
HE WAS BLOWING BUBBLES
429
00:25:58,725 --> 00:26:03,480
THROUGH THE FLUID
IN HIS NOSTRILS AND MOUTH.
430
00:26:03,772 --> 00:26:05,315
HE WAS DROWNING IN...
431
00:26:05,607 --> 00:26:08,568
HE WAS DROWNING
IN HIS OWN SECRETIONS
432
00:26:08,860 --> 00:26:13,615
FROM HIGH-ALTITUDE
PULMONARY EDEMA.
433
00:26:13,656 --> 00:26:15,742
Foster:
THE TREATMENT IS DESCENT.
434
00:26:16,034 --> 00:26:17,535
IF THE PATIENT CAN'T WALK
435
00:26:17,827 --> 00:26:20,330
THEN OXYGEN OR
A GAMOW BAG MUST BE USED.
436
00:26:20,622 --> 00:26:22,791
LAKPA, HI.
437
00:26:23,083 --> 00:26:25,335
CAN I CHECK YOUR
SATURATION AGAIN?
438
00:26:25,627 --> 00:26:29,089
Foster:
A MALAYSIAN EXPEDITION DOCTOR MEASURES
439
00:26:29,381 --> 00:26:33,802
A SICK SHERPA'S
BLOOD-OXYGEN SATURATION.
440
00:26:34,094 --> 00:26:37,639
WELL, ON OXYGEN HE'S NOW
GOT A SATURATION OF ABOUT 91%
441
00:26:37,931 --> 00:26:39,516
WHICH IS CONSIDERABLY
DIFFERENT
442
00:26:39,808 --> 00:26:41,267
THAN WHAT IT WAS
YESTERDAY.
443
00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:43,436
Donner:
THIS MORNING AT BREAKFAST
444
00:26:43,728 --> 00:26:45,689
WE NOTICED
A TEAM CARRYING
445
00:26:45,980 --> 00:26:49,693
THIS SICK SHERPA...
THIS IS LAKPA...
BY OUR CAMP
446
00:26:49,984 --> 00:26:53,029
AND WE'RE NOW AT
THE HELICOPTER
LANDING ZONE
447
00:26:53,321 --> 00:26:56,241
WITH DR. SAYACK KOO.
448
00:26:56,533 --> 00:27:00,328
SAYACK, WHAT WENT ON
WITH LAKPA?
449
00:27:00,620 --> 00:27:04,791
WELL, HE WAS VERY ILL INDEED
WHEN WE WHEN WE CAME ACROSS HIM.
450
00:27:05,083 --> 00:27:06,668
HE WAS A BIT CONFUSED.
451
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,420
HE WAS QUITE ASHEN GRAY.
452
00:27:08,712 --> 00:27:10,755
HE WAS QUITE
BREATHLESS AS WELL.
453
00:27:11,047 --> 00:27:13,341
AND WE CHECKED
HIS SATURATIONS
454
00:27:13,633 --> 00:27:16,386
AND TO MY ALARM,
IT WAS 20%.
455
00:27:16,678 --> 00:27:18,680
WE SLAPPED
SOME OXYGEN ON HIM
456
00:27:18,972 --> 00:27:21,224
AND IT CAME UP
TO ABOUT 70%, 80%
457
00:27:21,516 --> 00:27:24,060
WITH THREE OR
FOUR LITERS A MINUTE.
458
00:27:24,352 --> 00:27:27,439
Koo:
AND BECAUSE HE WAS ABLE
TO TOLERATE LYING FLAT
459
00:27:27,731 --> 00:27:29,983
WE DECIDED TO PUT HIM
IN THE GAMOW BAG
460
00:27:30,275 --> 00:27:31,818
WHICH WE DID
FOR TWO HOURS.
461
00:27:32,110 --> 00:27:34,904
AND HOW DID HE RESPOND
TO THE GAMOW?
462
00:27:35,196 --> 00:27:37,115
UH, HE DID VERY WELL.
463
00:27:37,407 --> 00:27:40,076
HE WAS COMFORTABLE IN IT.
464
00:27:40,368 --> 00:27:43,747
BUT SINCE HE HAD SYMPTOMS
ON BOTH SIDES OF HIS LUNG
465
00:27:44,039 --> 00:27:45,206
AND HE WAS SO UNWELL
466
00:27:45,498 --> 00:27:47,667
AND SO DESPERATELY
SHORT OF OXYGEN
467
00:27:47,959 --> 00:27:50,378
WE TREATED HIM
FOR PULMONARY EDEMA.
468
00:27:50,670 --> 00:27:54,132
Foster:
WHEN A HELICOPTER ARRIVES
AT BASE CAMP
469
00:27:54,424 --> 00:28:00,263
IT MEANS A PERSON IS IN NEED
OF IMMEDIATE EVACUATION.
470
00:28:00,555 --> 00:28:06,353
AND FOR LAKPA, A QUICK DESCENT
TO KATHMANDU WILL SAVE HIS LIFE.
471
00:28:06,644 --> 00:28:08,897
PILOTS DON'T HESITATE LONG HERE
472
00:28:09,189 --> 00:28:12,317
AND THEY BREATHE
SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN.
473
00:28:12,609 --> 00:28:16,654
IF SUDDENLY EXPOSED TO
THE ALTITUDE OF BASE CAMP
474
00:28:16,946 --> 00:28:19,491
THE PILOT COULD BECOME
DESPERATELY ILL
475
00:28:19,783 --> 00:28:23,828
FROM ACUTE MOUNTAIN SICKNESS.
476
00:28:27,123 --> 00:28:28,750
IN THE EARLY MORNING FREEZE
477
00:28:29,042 --> 00:28:31,628
THE CLIMBERS SILENTLY
PUT ON THEIR CRAMPONS
478
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:39,094
TO CLIMB UP THROUGH THE ICEFALL
FOR THE LAST TIME.
479
00:28:49,145 --> 00:28:52,565
THE TEAM HAS BEEN ON EVEREST
FOR SEVERAL WEEKS
480
00:28:52,857 --> 00:28:55,652
ACCLIMATIZING
AT THE HIGHER CAMPS.
481
00:28:55,944 --> 00:29:01,533
TIME IS RUNNING OUT
FOR AN ATTEMPT ON THE SUMMIT.
482
00:29:04,077 --> 00:29:07,122
CARTER HAS DEVELOPED
A HIGH-ALTITUDE COUGH
483
00:29:07,414 --> 00:29:09,332
WHICH HE KNOWS COULD JEOPARDIZE
484
00:29:09,624 --> 00:29:11,876
HIS CHANCES OF
COMPLETING THE CLIMB.
485
00:29:12,168 --> 00:29:14,921
Carter:
IT'S A REAL VIOLENT COUGH.
486
00:29:15,213 --> 00:29:20,885
IT COMES FROM DEEP WITHIN
AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL IT.
487
00:29:21,177 --> 00:29:22,721
MY MAIN CONCERN RIGHT NOW
488
00:29:23,013 --> 00:29:26,099
IS WHEN I GET HIGHER,
THE COUGH WILL GET WORSE
489
00:29:26,391 --> 00:29:34,899
AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT BREAKING
A RIB OR VOMITING OR SOMETHING.
490
00:29:36,067 --> 00:29:39,904
Foster:
A CHILLING REMINDER OF
HOW DANGEROUS EVEREST CAN BE...
491
00:29:40,196 --> 00:29:44,534
HUMAN REMAINS RESURFACE FROM THE
DEPTHS OF THE MOVING ICEFALL.
492
00:29:44,826 --> 00:29:48,288
Donner:
I CAME UPON THIS
THE OTHER DAY IN THE GLACIER.
493
00:29:48,580 --> 00:29:50,707
IT'S THE OBVIOUS REMAINS
OF A CLIMBER
494
00:29:50,999 --> 00:29:52,625
SPREAD OUT AROUND THIS AREA.
495
00:29:52,917 --> 00:29:57,464
THIS IS AN INNER BOOT MADE OUT
OF A SYNTHETIC MATERIAL
496
00:29:57,756 --> 00:30:00,967
MAKING IT PROBABLY '80s VINTAGE,
AND THERE ARE STILL
497
00:30:01,259 --> 00:30:06,473
PORTIONS OF THE BONY STRUCTURE
OF THE FOOT INSIDE.
498
00:30:06,556 --> 00:30:08,099
RIGHT HERE
499
00:30:08,391 --> 00:30:13,938
MAYBE THE MOST OBVIOUSLY
HUMAN PORTION OF THE SKELETON
500
00:30:14,230 --> 00:30:17,567
IS THE HEAD OF THE FEMUR,
AND OVER HERE
501
00:30:17,859 --> 00:30:21,196
A TIBIA AND A FIBULA
STILL INTACT, STILL TOGETHER.
502
00:30:21,488 --> 00:30:24,657
AND THIS KIND OF STUFF
IS SPILLING OUT ALL THE TIME
503
00:30:24,949 --> 00:30:26,618
AND A REMINDER
504
00:30:26,910 --> 00:30:32,707
OF SOME OF THE DRAMA THAT
GOES ON UP IN THE ICEFALL.
505
00:30:33,541 --> 00:30:38,380
Foster:
THE CLIMBERS BYPASS CAMP I
AND ENTER THE WESTERN CWM
506
00:30:38,672 --> 00:30:41,341
ON THEIR WAY TO CAMP II.
507
00:30:41,633 --> 00:30:44,678
THIS HIGH GLACIAL VALLEY
IS TRANSECTED
508
00:30:44,969 --> 00:30:49,516
BY MASSIVE LATERAL CREVASSES.
509
00:31:39,524 --> 00:31:41,609
Breashears:
HOW ARE YOU FEELING, ED?
510
00:31:41,901 --> 00:31:42,986
OH, PRETTY GOOD.
511
00:31:43,278 --> 00:31:44,779
IT WAS A LONG DAY.
512
00:31:45,071 --> 00:31:46,656
IT'S ABOUT, UH, 12:30.
513
00:31:46,948 --> 00:31:50,702
I STARTED AT 5:00 A.M.,
SO IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY.
514
00:31:50,994 --> 00:31:52,620
WHERE'D YOU
START FROM?
515
00:31:52,912 --> 00:31:54,622
BASE CAMP.
516
00:31:54,914 --> 00:31:57,834
DON'T YOU HAVE
SOMETHING REALLY
FUN TO DO TODAY?
517
00:31:58,126 --> 00:32:00,211
NO, NOTHING FUN...
JUST RELAXING.
518
00:32:00,503 --> 00:32:03,715
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
GOING TO DO SOME
TESTING UP HERE.
519
00:32:04,007 --> 00:32:05,467
OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
520
00:32:05,759 --> 00:32:07,552
WHAT KIND?
521
00:32:07,844 --> 00:32:11,139
OH, MENTAL TESTING, READING
SOME LISTS AND MEMORIZING
522
00:32:11,431 --> 00:32:12,515
AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
523
00:32:12,807 --> 00:32:14,976
HOW DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GOING TO DO?
524
00:32:15,268 --> 00:32:17,812
I HAVE NO IDEA...
WE'LL SOON FIND OUT.
525
00:32:18,104 --> 00:32:20,357
Jenny:
Okay, Carter:
526
00:32:20,648 --> 00:32:24,069
The action of the brave cyclist
kept a small boy
527
00:32:24,361 --> 00:32:26,654
from being hit
by a ten-ton truck.
528
00:32:26,946 --> 00:32:30,909
THE ACTION OF THE BRAVE CYCLIST
KEPT A SMALL BOY
529
00:32:31,201 --> 00:32:33,912
FROM BEING HIT
BY A TEN-TON TRUCK.
530
00:32:34,204 --> 00:32:38,333
Woman:
If Daphne walks
twice as fast as Margaret
531
00:32:38,625 --> 00:32:41,294
and they are
the only two people in a race
532
00:32:41,586 --> 00:32:43,713
who is most likely
to finish last?
533
00:32:44,005 --> 00:32:45,757
MARGARET.
534
00:32:46,049 --> 00:32:49,928
Jenny:
Okay, now, you know
for this test, David
535
00:32:50,220 --> 00:32:52,806
you're going to try
and count the low tones
536
00:32:53,098 --> 00:32:54,641
and ignore the high tones.
537
00:32:54,933 --> 00:32:56,518
Man:
Ready?
538
00:33:04,901 --> 00:33:06,778
Man:
How many?
539
00:33:07,070 --> 00:33:08,655
UH, FOUR.
540
00:33:08,947 --> 00:33:10,865
TODAY I'M SUFFERING BADLY.
541
00:33:11,157 --> 00:33:14,035
WE'RE UP AT 6,500 METERS
542
00:33:14,327 --> 00:33:20,125
AND OFTEN ONE FEELS
FAIRLY POORLY HERE ANYWAY.
543
00:33:20,417 --> 00:33:26,631
I THINK I'M SUFFERING FROM
A.M.S. ...ACUTE MOUNTAIN SICKNESS
544
00:33:26,923 --> 00:33:31,302
UM... WHICH,
WITH VOMITING AND DIARRHEA
545
00:33:31,594 --> 00:33:36,141
MEANS THAT I COULDN'T
DRINK OR... OR EAT ANYTHING
546
00:33:36,433 --> 00:33:39,310
SO I'M FEELING A BIT WEAK.
547
00:33:39,602 --> 00:33:43,690
THERE'S THE PART OF
HIGH-ALTITUDE MOUNTAINEERING
548
00:33:43,982 --> 00:33:47,152
THAT ISN'T NICE...
BEING... BEING SICK.
549
00:33:47,444 --> 00:33:52,157
IT'S HARD ENOUGH AS IT IS,
BUT WHEN YOU'RE SICK AS WELL
550
00:33:52,449 --> 00:33:59,164
ALL YOUR RESERVES ARE GONE
AND IT'S VERY HARD TO CATCH UP.
551
00:33:59,998 --> 00:34:07,297
Foster:
IF GUY COTTER'S SYMPTOMS GET
WORSE, HE'LL HAVE TO DESCEND.
552
00:34:07,380 --> 00:34:09,132
THERE IS A DELICATE BALANCE
553
00:34:09,424 --> 00:34:13,636
BETWEEN ACCLIMATIZATION
AND PHYSICAL DECLINE.
554
00:34:13,928 --> 00:34:18,767
CLIMBERS KNOW THAT THEY CAN ONLY
STAY AT ALTITUDE FOR SO LONG.
555
00:34:19,059 --> 00:34:20,310
YEAH, I'M NERVOUS.
556
00:34:20,602 --> 00:34:22,937
I DON'T KNOW
HOW I'M GOING TO PERFORM.
557
00:34:23,229 --> 00:34:26,191
I'M ALSO NERVOUS THAT
WE'RE SITTING DOWN HERE
558
00:34:26,483 --> 00:34:29,402
AND MY BODY IS
SLOWLY DETERIORATING
559
00:34:29,694 --> 00:34:32,739
THE LONGER WE STAY
AT THIS ALTITUDE.
560
00:34:33,031 --> 00:34:38,244
AND I SLOWLY GET
WEAKER AND WEAKER.
561
00:34:38,620 --> 00:34:43,500
Hackett:
HUMANS WILL START TO DETERIORATE
BECAUSE OF THE HIGH ALTITUDE
562
00:34:43,792 --> 00:34:45,001
AT AROUND 17,000 FEET.
563
00:34:45,293 --> 00:34:46,795
SLEEPING BECOMES A PROBLEM
564
00:34:47,087 --> 00:34:50,382
MUSCLE WASTING TAKES PLACE,
WEIGHT LOSS TAKES PLACE.
565
00:34:50,674 --> 00:34:54,427
THIS PROCESS OF DETERIORATION
TAKES PLACE MUCH MORE QUICKLY
566
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,972
THE HIGHER ALTITUDE
THAT ONE GOES TO.
567
00:34:58,264 --> 00:35:02,268
SO AT OVER 26,000 FEET,
IT'S CALLED THE "DEATH ZONE"
568
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,940
BECAUSE ACCLIMATIZATION
IS ESSENTIALLY IMPOSSIBLE.
569
00:35:16,074 --> 00:35:18,827
GOING TO CAMP, UH, III TOMORROW.
570
00:35:19,119 --> 00:35:22,747
WE'RE GOING TO GET UP EARLY...
AROUND, UH...
571
00:35:23,039 --> 00:35:27,210
WE'RE GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE
PROBABLY ABOUT 6:00.
572
00:35:27,502 --> 00:35:29,129
I'M ON AN ANTIBIOTIC NOW.
573
00:35:29,421 --> 00:35:33,967
I ENDED UP GETTING A PRETTY GOOD
HEAD COLD ABOUT THREE DAYS AGO.
574
00:35:34,259 --> 00:35:37,303
AND YESTERDAY,
I WAS REALLY FEELING PRETTY BAD
575
00:35:37,595 --> 00:35:40,807
WHEN I CAME INTO CAMP II.
576
00:35:41,099 --> 00:35:47,272
I WAS DEHYDRATED AND BASICALLY
JUST WEAK FROM THE COLD
577
00:35:47,564 --> 00:35:50,066
BUT THE ANTIBIOTIC
HAS BEEN KICKING IN
578
00:35:50,358 --> 00:35:53,403
AND I'M FEELING
PRETTY GOOD TODAY
579
00:35:53,695 --> 00:35:58,992
AND LOOKING FORWARD
TO GOING TOMORROW.
580
00:35:59,492 --> 00:36:04,539
Foster:
IN THE MORNING, THEY MARCH
TO THE TOP OF THE WESTERN CWM
581
00:36:04,831 --> 00:36:12,213
WHERE THEY BEGIN THE ARDUOUS
ASCENT OF THE LHOTSE FACE.
582
00:36:14,924 --> 00:36:18,470
OKAY, DAVID,
YOU CAN START ANY TIME.
583
00:36:18,762 --> 00:36:20,805
CARTER TO, UH, BASE.
584
00:36:21,097 --> 00:36:22,182
DO YOU COPY?
585
00:36:22,474 --> 00:36:25,226
Donner:
Dave, this is base.
586
00:36:25,518 --> 00:36:28,188
Where are you guys? Over.
587
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:29,814
HEY, DOC, IT'S DAVE.
588
00:36:30,106 --> 00:36:31,608
WE'RE AT,
UH, BASICALLY
589
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:33,985
THE BOTTOM OF
THE LHOTSE FACE.
590
00:36:34,277 --> 00:36:42,160
UH, WHERE ELEVATION
IS AT, UH, 22,300
591
00:36:42,452 --> 00:36:45,789
AND IT'S ABOUT 8:00
IN THE MORNING.
592
00:36:46,081 --> 00:36:47,624
Donner:
We got that, David.
593
00:36:47,916 --> 00:36:50,043
HOW ARE YOU FEELING OVERALL?
594
00:36:50,335 --> 00:36:51,461
OVER.
595
00:36:51,753 --> 00:36:53,004
Carter:
Oh, not too bad.
596
00:36:53,296 --> 00:36:54,381
I COULD BE FEELING
597
00:36:54,673 --> 00:36:56,800
A LITTLE BIT
BETTER RIGHT NOW.
598
00:36:57,092 --> 00:37:00,679
WE'RE GOING TO NEED THE OXIMETRY
DATA, IF YOU HAVE IT, OVER.
599
00:37:00,970 --> 00:37:05,308
UH, PULSE WAS AROUND 140
WHEN I ROLLED IN
600
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,020
AND, UH, BLOOD OXYGEN
SATURATION...
601
00:37:09,312 --> 00:37:12,607
...was at 60, over.
602
00:37:12,899 --> 00:37:15,485
Foster:
60% IS LOW,
BUT HOWARD IS HOPEFUL
603
00:37:15,777 --> 00:37:20,907
THAT CARTER'S SATURATIONS
WILL IMPROVE OVER TIME.
604
00:37:21,908 --> 00:37:26,746
DAVID BREASHEARS INTERVIEWS
CARTER AN HOUR BELOW CAMP III.
605
00:37:27,038 --> 00:37:29,124
Breashears:
HOW'S IT FEEL?
606
00:37:29,416 --> 00:37:30,667
OH, IT'S TIRING.
607
00:37:30,959 --> 00:37:33,586
FEEL I'VE FELT BETTER.
608
00:37:36,297 --> 00:37:37,465
WHEW.
609
00:37:37,757 --> 00:37:40,093
WHAT'S IT LIKE
CLIMBING AT ALTITUDE?
610
00:37:40,385 --> 00:37:42,637
AH... YEAH, YOU JUST...
611
00:37:42,929 --> 00:37:44,389
IT'S, IT'S SLOW.
612
00:37:44,681 --> 00:37:46,224
YOU'RE WINDED...
613
00:37:46,516 --> 00:37:49,519
UH, DEHYDRATED...
614
00:37:49,811 --> 00:37:51,938
LOSING YOUR VOICE...
615
00:37:52,230 --> 00:37:54,524
UH, COUGHING.
616
00:37:54,816 --> 00:37:57,902
BUT THE VIEWS MAKE IT WORTH IT.
617
00:37:58,194 --> 00:38:01,781
Foster:
CAMP III SITS HALFWAY
UP THE LHOTSE FACE
618
00:38:02,073 --> 00:38:04,701
A 45-DEGREE WALL
OF GLACIAL BLUE ICE.
619
00:38:04,993 --> 00:38:09,456
Breashears:
OKAY, LET'S HUFF AND PUFF IT UP HERE.
620
00:38:09,748 --> 00:38:15,670
Foster:
THE PACE IS SLOW AS ED AND
CARTER ASCEND INTO THIN AIR.
621
00:38:15,962 --> 00:38:18,131
THE ROUTE IS FIXED WITH ROPES
622
00:38:18,423 --> 00:38:21,468
AND THEY FALL INTO
THE RHYTHMIC MOVEMENT
623
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:26,514
OF KICKING STEPS,
PULLING AND STEPPING UP.
624
00:38:26,806 --> 00:38:28,975
FINALLY AT CAMP III.
625
00:38:29,267 --> 00:38:30,393
YEAH.
626
00:38:30,685 --> 00:38:31,686
GOOD JOB.
627
00:38:31,978 --> 00:38:33,313
IT'S GOOD
TO BE HERE.
628
00:38:33,605 --> 00:38:37,317
WE GOT TO GET SOME SNOW
AND MELT SOME WATER
629
00:38:37,609 --> 00:38:39,736
FOR THOSE GUYS COMING UP.
630
00:38:40,028 --> 00:38:42,072
BE CAREFUL
WALKING AROUND HERE.
631
00:38:42,364 --> 00:38:45,992
IT'S KIND OF STEEP...
ESPECIALLY WITHOUT
CRAMPONS ON.
632
00:38:46,284 --> 00:38:48,578
Foster:
MANY CLIMBERS HAVE DIED HERE
633
00:38:48,870 --> 00:38:55,460
SLIPPING OFF THE FACE
FROM ONE POORLY PLACED STEP.
634
00:38:57,671 --> 00:39:00,799
DON'T YOU THINK
THIS IS A LITTLE ABSURD?
635
00:39:01,091 --> 00:39:03,593
I'M SITTING ON THIS LITTLE LEDGE
636
00:39:03,885 --> 00:39:07,472
OUT HERE IN FRONT OF
MY TENT, AT 24,000 FEET.
637
00:39:07,764 --> 00:39:09,099
I'M READY.
638
00:39:09,391 --> 00:39:11,685
Donner:
The video camera captured
639
00:39:11,976 --> 00:39:14,896
the bank robber's daring
daylight robbery
640
00:39:15,188 --> 00:39:16,940
of the First Avenue Bank.
641
00:39:17,232 --> 00:39:23,571
THE VIDEO CAMERA CAPTURED
THE DARING BANK ROBBER'S ROBBERY
642
00:39:23,863 --> 00:39:26,199
OF THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK.
643
00:39:30,662 --> 00:39:33,206
The action of the brave cyclist
644
00:39:33,498 --> 00:39:38,211
kept the small boy from
being hit by the ten-ton truck.
645
00:39:38,503 --> 00:39:41,923
THE ACTION OF THE BRAVE CYCLIST
646
00:39:42,215 --> 00:39:45,510
UM...
647
00:39:45,802 --> 00:39:47,846
HELPED SAVE THE BOY...
648
00:39:48,138 --> 00:39:51,599
UH, LET'S SEE... I KNOW
I HAVE TO SAY ALL I KNOW, UH...
649
00:39:51,891 --> 00:39:57,105
PREVENT THE BOY BEING HIT
BY THE TEN-TON TRUCK.
650
00:39:58,690 --> 00:40:02,068
OH, SHIT.
651
00:40:02,694 --> 00:40:05,071
Breashears:
IT'S JUST HARD WORK.
652
00:40:05,363 --> 00:40:08,700
EVERYTHING ABOUT BEING
AT ALTITUDE IS HARD.
653
00:40:08,992 --> 00:40:10,535
I CAN'T SHOW YOU
654
00:40:10,827 --> 00:40:14,706
THAT THERE'S NO OXYGEN
MOLECULES IN THE AIR HERE.
655
00:40:14,998 --> 00:40:16,499
THERE'S ONLY 35%
656
00:40:16,791 --> 00:40:20,253
OF THE OXYGEN YOU'RE BREATHING
DOWN THERE AT SEA LEVEL
657
00:40:20,545 --> 00:40:22,130
AVAILABLE TO ME RIGHT NOW.
658
00:40:22,422 --> 00:40:24,507
WE HAVE TO FINISH
THIS EXPEDITION.
659
00:40:24,799 --> 00:40:27,761
THE ICEFALL'S GOING TO CLOSE,
OUR PERMIT'S UP.
660
00:40:28,053 --> 00:40:30,055
WE'VE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME.
661
00:40:30,347 --> 00:40:33,016
BUT WE'RE ALSO
EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS
662
00:40:33,308 --> 00:40:36,561
AND WE'RE NOT GOING
TO PUSH IT ONE BIT.
663
00:40:36,853 --> 00:40:40,065
WE'LL DO OUR RESEARCH
AS HIGH AS WE CAN
664
00:40:40,357 --> 00:40:46,488
AND GO HOME, KNOWING
WE'VE DONE THE BEST WE CAN.
665
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:51,618
HOW DID YOU SLEEP?
666
00:40:51,910 --> 00:40:55,330
GOOD.
667
00:40:57,707 --> 00:40:59,584
YEAH, THE OXYGEN
REALLY HELPED.
668
00:41:01,211 --> 00:41:04,839
IT WAS GREAT.
669
00:41:09,135 --> 00:41:12,639
OH, YEAH.
670
00:41:17,477 --> 00:41:19,312
Donner:
Carter, this is Howard.
671
00:41:19,604 --> 00:41:22,273
Uh, how do you feel
your breathing's going
672
00:41:22,565 --> 00:41:26,361
relative to this, uh, upper
respiratory infection? Over.
673
00:41:26,653 --> 00:41:28,530
UH, REAL GOOD NOW.
674
00:41:28,822 --> 00:41:30,323
A LOT BETTER.
675
00:41:30,615 --> 00:41:33,243
HOWARD, IT WAS A LOT WORSE
WHEN I WAS, UH...
676
00:41:33,535 --> 00:41:35,078
I'D WAKE UP AFTER TWO HOURS
677
00:41:35,370 --> 00:41:38,289
AND I FELT LIKE I HAD A LOT
OF SHIT IN MY THROAT
678
00:41:38,581 --> 00:41:39,833
AND I'D COUGH IT UP.
679
00:41:40,125 --> 00:41:42,585
IT'S KIND OF A HARD-CHUNK,
SNOT-TYPE SHIT.
680
00:41:42,877 --> 00:41:44,379
IT WAS YELLOW, OVER.
681
00:41:44,671 --> 00:41:48,925
Sounds like maybe you're
clearing the stuff out, over.
682
00:41:49,217 --> 00:41:50,927
YEAH, AFTER A FEW HOT DRINKS
683
00:41:51,219 --> 00:41:52,971
AND, UH, LIKE GETTING OFF O's
684
00:41:53,263 --> 00:41:59,310
AND, UH, BREATHING THROUGH MY
NOSE, UH, I FEEL A LOT BETTER.
685
00:41:59,394 --> 00:42:00,395
Great, David.
686
00:42:00,687 --> 00:42:02,355
I don't need to tell you this
687
00:42:02,647 --> 00:42:06,109
but just stay hydrated and
cough that shit out of there.
688
00:42:06,401 --> 00:42:07,986
I'll give you back to Kate.
689
00:42:08,278 --> 00:42:10,655
ALL RIGHTY.
690
00:42:10,947 --> 00:42:14,325
Kate:
Hey, where are you now?
691
00:42:14,617 --> 00:42:16,745
I... I DON'T KNOW.
692
00:42:17,037 --> 00:42:19,080
NO, I'M KIDDING;
WE'RE AT CAMP III.
693
00:42:19,372 --> 00:42:21,416
WE'RE GETTING READY TO MOVE OUT.
694
00:42:21,708 --> 00:42:27,756
Foster:
CARTER IS ABOUT TO GO HIGHER
THAN HE HAS EVER BEEN BEFORE.
695
00:42:28,048 --> 00:42:32,469
LOOKING UP THE ROUTE,
SOME 50 CLIMBERS CLAMBER
696
00:42:32,761 --> 00:42:37,557
TOWARDS THE HIGHEST CAMP
ON THE MOUNTAIN.
697
00:42:37,724 --> 00:42:42,979
THIS MAKES DAVID BREASHEARS
AND ED VIESTURS VERY NERVOUS.
698
00:42:43,271 --> 00:42:45,023
THEY WITNESSED LAST YEAR
699
00:42:45,315 --> 00:42:50,820
THAT CROWDED ROPES ON EVEREST
CAN BE DEADLY.
700
00:42:52,030 --> 00:42:55,533
THIS YEAR, IT SEEMS
NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
701
00:42:55,825 --> 00:42:58,870
AS CLIMBERS WAIT THEIR TURN
ON THE ROPES
702
00:42:59,162 --> 00:43:05,001
THEY INCREASE THEIR CHANCES
OF BECOMING HYPOXIC.
703
00:43:05,919 --> 00:43:12,592
TONIGHT THEY WILL ALL LEAVE CAMP
AND CLIMB TOWARD THE SUMMIT.
704
00:43:13,843 --> 00:43:17,681
DAVID AND ED CLIMB
INTO THE DEATH ZONE
705
00:43:17,972 --> 00:43:24,521
AN ALTITUDE WHERE HUMANS
ARE ONLY TRANSIENT VISITORS.
706
00:43:24,813 --> 00:43:28,525
THE TENTS OF CAMP IV
FINALLY COME INTO VIEW.
707
00:43:28,817 --> 00:43:31,361
IT HAS TAKEN NEARLY TWO MONTHS
708
00:43:31,653 --> 00:43:34,656
FOR THE CLIMBERS
TO REACH THIS POINT
709
00:43:34,948 --> 00:43:38,702
AND WHAT WILL TRANSPIRE
OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS
710
00:43:38,993 --> 00:43:42,956
WILL CHANGE THEIR LIVES.
711
00:43:46,209 --> 00:43:50,422
OXYGEN BOTTLES
FROM EXPEDITIONS YEARS AGO
712
00:43:50,714 --> 00:43:54,009
LITTER THIS WIND-SCOURED PLACE.
713
00:43:54,300 --> 00:43:57,762
HIGHEST JUNKYARD IN THE WORLD.
714
00:43:58,054 --> 00:44:02,392
ANYTHING YOU NEED, WE HAVE IT...
715
00:44:02,684 --> 00:44:07,397
TENT POLES...
716
00:44:07,689 --> 00:44:11,985
SPARE OXYGEN...
717
00:44:12,277 --> 00:44:14,195
TENT STAKES...
718
00:44:14,487 --> 00:44:20,285
AND THE ODD CORPSE!
719
00:44:20,577 --> 00:44:24,330
Foster:
WHEN YOU DIE AT 26,000 FEET
720
00:44:24,622 --> 00:44:28,752
NO ONE HAS THE ENERGY TO CARRY
YOUR CORPSE OFF THE MOUNTAIN.
721
00:44:29,044 --> 00:44:32,047
THE CLIMBERS ARE
SLOWLY DETERIORATING
722
00:44:32,339 --> 00:44:37,010
THEIR BODIES LITERALLY
CONSUMING THEMSELVES FOR ENERGY.
723
00:44:37,302 --> 00:44:38,887
YOU NEED
THE RED STRING.
724
00:44:39,179 --> 00:44:43,683
Foster:
SIMPLE TASKS TAKE LONGER TO PERFORM
725
00:44:43,975 --> 00:44:47,979
AND PRECIOUS ENERGY
IS BURNED JUST GASPING FOR AIR.
726
00:44:48,271 --> 00:44:53,026
WHILE MOST CLIMBERS ARE RESTING,
DAVID, ED AND CARTER ENDURE
727
00:44:53,318 --> 00:44:56,071
ANOTHER ROUND
OF PSYCHOMETRIC TESTS.
728
00:44:56,363 --> 00:44:59,407
OLD HOUSES ARE MORE
DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN
729
00:44:59,699 --> 00:45:02,327
BUT WORTH
THE EXTRA TIME AND EFFORT.
730
00:45:02,619 --> 00:45:07,165
OLD HOUSES ARE MORE
DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN
731
00:45:07,457 --> 00:45:10,960
BUT ARE WORTH THE EXTRA EFFORT.
732
00:45:11,252 --> 00:45:14,839
I've lived by the river
for 20 years
733
00:45:15,131 --> 00:45:18,551
AND ONLY TWICE BEFORE
IN ALL THOSE YEARS
734
00:45:18,843 --> 00:45:20,679
HAS IT BEEN THIS HIGH.
735
00:45:20,970 --> 00:45:27,811
ED LIVED BY A RIVER
FOR 20 YEARS
736
00:45:28,103 --> 00:45:30,730
AND, UH...
737
00:45:31,022 --> 00:45:32,273
THIS WAS THE, UH...
738
00:45:32,565 --> 00:45:35,235
THE FIRST TIME
IT HAD BEEN THIS HIGH.
739
00:45:35,527 --> 00:45:38,780
OVER.
740
00:45:38,905 --> 00:45:40,573
OH, BOY.
741
00:45:40,865 --> 00:45:44,244
The wildflowers
bloomed in profusion
742
00:45:44,536 --> 00:45:47,414
in the high meadows in August.
743
00:45:47,706 --> 00:45:50,625
THE WILDFLOWERS
BROOMED IN PROFUSION
744
00:45:50,917 --> 00:45:53,378
IN THE HIGH MEADOWS IN AUGUST.
745
00:45:57,674 --> 00:46:00,135
Okay, Carter, sounds good.
746
00:46:00,427 --> 00:46:02,178
We'll be with you in a minute.
747
00:46:02,470 --> 00:46:07,517
DOESN'T SOUND GOOD, DOC.
748
00:46:11,187 --> 00:46:15,817
Foster:
DAVID RADIOS ED,
WHO IS IN A NEARBY TENT.
749
00:46:16,109 --> 00:46:18,737
THE SCENE FEELS
ALL TOO FAMILIAR.
750
00:46:19,029 --> 00:46:21,239
Breashears:
Ed?
751
00:46:21,531 --> 00:46:23,283
Viesturs:
I just tuned in.
752
00:46:23,575 --> 00:46:25,452
What's going on?
753
00:46:25,744 --> 00:46:32,959
Breashears:
I'm having serious doubts
about going up today.
754
00:46:33,251 --> 00:46:36,338
Something about climbing
with all these people.
755
00:46:36,629 --> 00:46:38,173
It's got me bothered
756
00:46:38,465 --> 00:46:42,135
in the way that a few days
last year had me bothered.
757
00:46:42,427 --> 00:46:44,554
What do you think?
758
00:46:44,846 --> 00:46:46,765
Viesturs:
It does concern me
759
00:46:47,057 --> 00:46:50,727
there's a lot of relatively
inexperienced people.
760
00:46:51,019 --> 00:46:54,272
Hopefully nobody is going
to get in trouble.
761
00:46:54,564 --> 00:46:56,441
If they do
762
00:46:56,733 --> 00:47:01,488
of course the more experienced
people always have to help out.
763
00:47:01,780 --> 00:47:05,450
Breashears:
I mean, who looks after who
up there, you know?
764
00:47:05,742 --> 00:47:07,202
How do you sort that out?
765
00:47:07,494 --> 00:47:08,912
Well, I don't like to be
766
00:47:09,204 --> 00:47:11,706
around people
staggering around like that
767
00:47:11,998 --> 00:47:13,625
and I don't know...
768
00:47:13,917 --> 00:47:17,212
I'd like to see this day
just kind of sort itself out
769
00:47:17,504 --> 00:47:18,922
without me in it.
770
00:47:19,214 --> 00:47:21,966
Foster:
IT'S A BRIEF MOMENT OF DOUBT
771
00:47:22,258 --> 00:47:25,053
BUT IN THE END,
DAVID DECIDES TO GO UP
772
00:47:25,345 --> 00:47:28,264
KNOWING HE CAN ALWAYS
TURN AROUND.
773
00:47:28,556 --> 00:47:33,228
FIVE HOURS LATER, THE CLIMBERS
PREPARE FOR THEIR DEPARTURE.
774
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,480
AT THIS ALTITUDE
775
00:47:35,772 --> 00:47:41,111
LOADING A PACK AND PUTTING ON
CRAMPONS WILL TAKE TWO HOURS.
776
00:47:41,403 --> 00:47:44,864
EACH CLIMBER CARRIES
TWO BOTTLES OF OXYGEN.
777
00:47:45,156 --> 00:47:49,869
THEY LEAVE AT 10:00 P.M.
778
00:47:50,161 --> 00:47:54,249
Hackett:
WHEN ONE CONSIDERS THE CONDITION
THAT A CLIMBER IS IN
779
00:47:54,541 --> 00:47:56,376
ON THE SOUTH COL ON SUMMIT DAY
780
00:47:56,668 --> 00:48:00,505
IT'S REALLY AMAZING THAT THEY
CAN REACH THE SUMMIT AT ALL.
781
00:48:00,797 --> 00:48:03,008
FIRST OF ALL,
THERE HASN'T BEEN SLEEP
782
00:48:03,299 --> 00:48:05,218
FOR USUALLY A COUPLE OF NIGHTS.
783
00:48:05,510 --> 00:48:08,054
THERE HASN'T BEEN
ENOUGH TO EAT OR DRINK.
784
00:48:08,346 --> 00:48:10,015
EVEN IF THEY'VE BEEN ON OXYGEN
785
00:48:10,306 --> 00:48:13,018
IT'S STILL BEEN VERY
UNCOMFORTABLE TO BREATHE.
786
00:48:13,309 --> 00:48:15,478
THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES
ARE ALL DRIED OUT.
787
00:48:15,770 --> 00:48:18,898
THERE'S ALWAYS A SORE THROAT,
THERE'S ALWAYS A COUGH
788
00:48:19,190 --> 00:48:21,609
THERE'S OFTEN A HEADACHE.
789
00:48:21,901 --> 00:48:25,864
AND IT TAKES
A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WILL
790
00:48:26,156 --> 00:48:29,784
TO KEEP GOING
UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.
791
00:48:30,076 --> 00:48:34,122
Foster:
AT 5:30 IN THE MORNING
AND 300 FEET BELOW THE SUMMIT
792
00:48:34,414 --> 00:48:36,082
DAVID CALLS DOWN TO HOWARD.
793
00:48:36,374 --> 00:48:41,087
Breashears:
WE'VE BEEN CLIMBING LIKE CRAZY.
794
00:48:41,379 --> 00:48:45,759
WE'RE ON THE SOUTH SUMMIT...
28,700 FEET.
795
00:48:46,051 --> 00:48:47,552
Donner:
It's unbelievable!
796
00:48:47,844 --> 00:48:50,263
You climbed in
the middle of the night
797
00:48:50,555 --> 00:48:53,558
and you're standing up there
in the early morning.
798
00:48:53,850 --> 00:48:56,478
Foster:
THEY SIT DOWN TO REST.
799
00:48:56,770 --> 00:49:01,232
TEN FEET IN FRONT OF THEM
LIES THE BODY OF ROB HALL
800
00:49:01,524 --> 00:49:05,612
ONE OF THE EXPEDITION LEADERS
WHO DIED IN 1996.
801
00:49:05,904 --> 00:49:10,200
DAVID POINTS TO WHERE ROB IS
BURIED UNDER WIND-DRIVEN SNOW.
802
00:49:10,492 --> 00:49:13,703
Cotter:
HOW FAR BURIED
DO YOU THINK HE IS?
803
00:49:13,995 --> 00:49:15,288
FIVE FEET?
804
00:49:15,580 --> 00:49:18,083
Breashears:
IT COULD BE FIVE OR SIX FEET.
805
00:49:18,375 --> 00:49:19,376
RIGHT.
806
00:49:19,668 --> 00:49:20,752
IT'S A LOT.
807
00:49:21,044 --> 00:49:22,003
YEAH.
808
00:49:22,295 --> 00:49:26,675
REST IN PEACE.
809
00:49:27,384 --> 00:49:32,389
Foster:
THEY HAVE ONLY 300
VERTICAL FEET TO GO
810
00:49:32,681 --> 00:49:37,519
BUT TWO HOURS OF CLIMBING.
811
00:49:39,145 --> 00:49:41,815
THEY TRAVERSE A KNIFE-EDGE RIDGE
812
00:49:42,107 --> 00:49:45,902
WHICH DROPS OFF 8,000 FEET
ON BOTH SIDES.
813
00:49:46,194 --> 00:49:49,864
DAVID CLIMBS IN FRONT.
814
00:49:50,156 --> 00:49:55,662
THEY REACH THE HILLARY STEP,
A 40-FOOT WALL OF EXPOSED ROCK.
815
00:49:55,954 --> 00:50:00,792
THIS IS THE MOST TECHNICAL
TERRAIN ON THE SUMMIT DAY.
816
00:50:01,084 --> 00:50:05,880
CLIMBERS MANEUVER UP THE CRACKS
AND OVER THE ROCKY OUTCROP
817
00:50:06,172 --> 00:50:11,011
WHILE CLIPPED
INTO THE FIXED ROPES.
818
00:50:11,052 --> 00:50:15,306
CARTER HOISTS HIMSELF UP.
819
00:50:15,598 --> 00:50:19,686
ONLY ONE CLIMBER
CAN ASCEND AT A TIME.
820
00:50:19,978 --> 00:50:24,607
THIS IS WHERE BOTTLENECKS OCCUR.
821
00:50:29,362 --> 00:50:31,448
THEY SILENTLY PASS BY THE BODY
822
00:50:31,740 --> 00:50:34,492
OF A CLIMBER FROM
AN EARLIER EXPEDITION
823
00:50:34,784 --> 00:50:38,747
WHO DIED HERE ON THE ROPES.
824
00:50:44,377 --> 00:50:49,424
Hackett:
THE BREATHING BECOMES
UNBELIEVABLY DIFFICULT.
825
00:50:49,716 --> 00:50:52,969
YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU'RE ONE HUGE LUNG.
826
00:50:53,261 --> 00:50:56,598
THE HEART RATE AT REST
BECOMES HIGHER AND HIGHER.
827
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,101
THE MAXIMUM HEART RATE
BECOMES LOWER AND LOWER.
828
00:51:00,393 --> 00:51:04,522
AND AS YOU GO HIGHER, THOSE TWO
GET CLOSER AND CLOSER TOGETHER.
829
00:51:04,814 --> 00:51:06,483
AND OF COURSE
830
00:51:06,775 --> 00:51:10,528
WHEN YOUR RESTING HEART RATE
EQUALS YOUR MAXIMUM HEART RATE
831
00:51:10,820 --> 00:51:12,197
ALL YOU CAN DO IS REST.
832
00:51:12,489 --> 00:51:14,783
YOU CAN'T DO
ANY MORE PHYSICAL WORK.
833
00:51:15,075 --> 00:51:18,912
Foster:
THEY'VE CLIMBED FOR NINE HOURS.
834
00:51:19,204 --> 00:51:23,541
JANGBU RAISES
THE TIBETAN FLAG ON THE SUMMIT.
835
00:51:23,833 --> 00:51:26,544
DAVID IS SITTING ON THE TOP.
836
00:51:26,836 --> 00:51:31,591
ED IS TAKING THE LAST STEPS UP
WITH CARTER JUST BEHIND.
837
00:51:31,883 --> 00:51:35,845
Breashears:
Base Camp, Base Camp,
this is David.
838
00:51:36,137 --> 00:51:37,263
Do you read me?
839
00:51:37,555 --> 00:51:40,558
DAVID, WE READ YOU
LOUD AND CLEAR.
840
00:51:40,850 --> 00:51:42,686
WHERE ARE YOU? OVER.
841
00:51:42,977 --> 00:51:44,229
Howard!
842
00:51:44,521 --> 00:51:46,898
I'm on top of the world!
843
00:51:47,190 --> 00:51:48,692
We made it.
844
00:51:48,983 --> 00:51:54,280
I'm on the summit
of Mount Everest, 29,028 feet.
845
00:51:54,572 --> 00:51:59,744
I'm here with David Carter,
Ed Viesturs.
846
00:52:00,036 --> 00:52:01,496
I can see everywhere.
847
00:52:01,788 --> 00:52:03,456
It's just so beautiful.
848
00:52:03,748 --> 00:52:07,627
We're not going to be able
to stay here very long.
849
00:52:07,919 --> 00:52:12,674
Foster:
DAVID BREASHEARS HAS REACHED
THE SUMMIT OF MOUNT EVEREST
850
00:52:12,966 --> 00:52:14,551
FOR THE FOURTH TIME.
851
00:52:14,843 --> 00:52:18,555
ED VIESTURS HAS NOW
BECOME THE FIRST NON-SHERPA
852
00:52:18,847 --> 00:52:21,933
TO CLIMB EVEREST
FIVE TIMES AND RETURN.
853
00:52:22,225 --> 00:52:27,605
ROB HALL'S FIFTH SUMMIT LAST
YEAR WAS TRAGICALLY HIS LAST.
854
00:52:27,897 --> 00:52:31,568
CARTER HAS LOST HIS VOICE
AND WILL BE UNABLE TO TAKE
855
00:52:31,860 --> 00:52:34,779
THE WORLD'S HIGHEST
PSYCHOMETRIC TESTS.
856
00:52:35,071 --> 00:52:38,700
Donner:
Mike walked around
the block three times
857
00:52:38,992 --> 00:52:42,787
before he had the nerve
to knock on Carol's door.
858
00:52:43,079 --> 00:52:46,124
MIKE WALKED AROUND
THE BLOCK THREE TIMES
859
00:52:46,416 --> 00:52:49,878
BEFORE HE HAD THE NERVE
TO WALK ON CAROL'S DOOR.
860
00:52:50,170 --> 00:52:51,629
Excellent, David.
861
00:52:51,921 --> 00:52:56,634
Do you have any oximetry
on the summit?
862
00:53:01,598 --> 00:53:05,685
Foster:
AT 78, DAVID'S BLOOD OXYGEN
SATURATION IS GOOD
863
00:53:05,977 --> 00:53:09,230
FOR A CLIMBER BREATHING
SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN.
864
00:53:09,522 --> 00:53:11,358
CLIMBERS CONSUME BOTTLED OXYGEN
865
00:53:11,649 --> 00:53:14,944
AT A FLOW OF TWO LITERS
PER MINUTE ON THE SUMMIT DAY.
866
00:53:15,236 --> 00:53:17,280
WITH HIS MASK OFF
FOR A FEW MINUTES
867
00:53:17,572 --> 00:53:20,617
DAVID'S RESPIRATORY RATE
INCREASES SIGNIFICANTLY.
868
00:53:20,909 --> 00:53:26,373
Donner:
David, what's it like climbing
back in the same area
869
00:53:26,664 --> 00:53:29,250
that you were in last year?
Over.
870
00:53:29,542 --> 00:53:36,424
Breashears:
All the bodies that were there
last year were covered.
871
00:53:36,716 --> 00:53:39,886
But unfortunately,
we did pass one body
872
00:53:40,178 --> 00:53:42,180
right on the fixed ropes.
873
00:53:42,472 --> 00:53:45,266
It only makes me question
my sanity
874
00:53:45,558 --> 00:53:48,186
why I climbed
this mountain again
875
00:53:48,478 --> 00:53:51,106
because it is
dangerous and cold.
876
00:53:51,398 --> 00:53:55,568
Foster:
ED TAKES HIS FINAL
PSYCHOMETRIC TEST ON EVEREST.
877
00:53:55,860 --> 00:54:01,408
Donner:
The man who was an engineer came
to the store where Alice worked
878
00:54:01,700 --> 00:54:02,659
to buy pastries.
879
00:54:02,951 --> 00:54:03,993
Who bought pastries?
880
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:17,132
UH, THE ENGINEER, JACK,
THE GUY.
881
00:54:17,424 --> 00:54:19,926
Where was Alice?
882
00:54:20,218 --> 00:54:21,636
IN THE STORE.
883
00:54:21,928 --> 00:54:24,347
Ed, I know you want
to get moving again.
884
00:54:24,639 --> 00:54:30,103
LET US KNOW HOW YOU'RE DOING,
HOW YOU'RE FEELING, OVER.
885
00:54:34,024 --> 00:54:36,317
Viesturs:
THE DESCENT IS QUITE ARDUOUS.
886
00:54:36,609 --> 00:54:38,069
YOU'RE PHYSICALLY SPENT
887
00:54:38,361 --> 00:54:41,281
AND YOU HAVE TO THINK
ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
888
00:54:41,573 --> 00:54:44,409
YOU CAN'T JUST STAGGER
AND SLUG YOUR WAY DOWN.
889
00:54:44,701 --> 00:54:47,287
A LOT OF ACCIDENTS
IN MOUNTAINEERING OCCUR
890
00:54:47,579 --> 00:54:51,541
ON THE DESCENT, AND IT'S BECAUSE
PEOPLE GET TO THE SUMMIT
891
00:54:51,833 --> 00:54:54,294
AND THEY TOTALLY LET DOWN
THEIR GUARD
892
00:54:54,586 --> 00:54:58,423
AND THEY'VE USED ALL OF THEIR
ENERGY TO GET TO THE TOP.
893
00:54:58,715 --> 00:55:02,427
Foster:
IT TAKES FIVE HOURS
TO CLIMB DOWN TO CAMP IV.
894
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:06,139
IN THE SAFETY OF HIS TENT,
DAVID REVEALS TO HOWARD
895
00:55:06,431 --> 00:55:09,434
THAT HE HAD A DIFFICULT CLIMB
TO THE SUMMIT.
896
00:55:09,726 --> 00:55:13,396
Breashears:
Howard, this is South Col.
897
00:55:13,688 --> 00:55:18,693
HEY, DAVID, THIS IS HOWARD,
GO AHEAD.
898
00:55:47,972 --> 00:55:49,849
Donner:
I got that.
899
00:55:50,141 --> 00:55:51,851
How's everybody doing?
900
00:55:52,143 --> 00:55:54,979
Breashears:
WE'VE GOT TO GET
THESE GUYS OUT OF HERE.
901
00:55:55,271 --> 00:55:56,815
HE'S A LITTLE SICK.
902
00:55:57,107 --> 00:55:59,901
Foster:
DAVID CARTER'S CONDITION HAS WORSENED.
903
00:56:00,193 --> 00:56:01,611
DESPITE HIS OWN ILLNESS
904
00:56:01,903 --> 00:56:04,864
DAVID BREASHEARS FILMS ED
TAKING CARE OF CARTER.
905
00:56:05,156 --> 00:56:06,574
Breashears:
WHAT'S UP?
906
00:56:06,866 --> 00:56:10,662
Viesturs:
HE'S AT 93 AND 133
907
00:56:10,954 --> 00:56:12,789
SO YOUR PULSE OX IS REALLY GOOD.
908
00:56:13,081 --> 00:56:15,500
YOUR THROAT FEELS
A LITTLE CONSTRICTED?
909
00:56:15,792 --> 00:56:16,835
YES.
910
00:56:17,127 --> 00:56:19,254
OKAY, HE'S ON
A FOUR-LITER FLOW.
911
00:56:19,546 --> 00:56:21,506
DAVID STARTED
HAVING PROBLEMS
912
00:56:21,798 --> 00:56:23,925
COMING DOWN ON
THE SOUTH SUMMIT.
913
00:56:24,217 --> 00:56:26,094
HE COULDN'T
CATCH HIS BREATH
914
00:56:26,386 --> 00:56:29,347
SO WE CALLED
THE DOC AT BASE CAMP
915
00:56:29,639 --> 00:56:31,975
TOLD HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON
916
00:56:32,267 --> 00:56:38,273
AND HE DOESN'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S
SOMETHING LIKE PULMONARY EDEMA
917
00:56:38,565 --> 00:56:40,316
OR POSSIBLY THE FACT
918
00:56:40,608 --> 00:56:45,488
THAT DAVID WAS HAVING
SOME LUNG INFECTION EARLIER ON
919
00:56:45,780 --> 00:56:47,824
THAT HE'S BEEN FIGHTING
920
00:56:48,116 --> 00:56:52,537
AND WHETHER THE ALTITUDE
JUST EXACERBATED THAT.
921
00:56:52,829 --> 00:56:54,497
SO I THINK
THE BEST OPTION
922
00:56:54,789 --> 00:56:55,832
IF HE CAN
HANDLE IT
923
00:56:56,124 --> 00:56:58,043
IS TO GET HIM
DOWN TO CAMP II.
924
00:56:58,335 --> 00:57:00,462
THE LOWER WE GET
HIM, THE BETTER.
925
00:57:00,754 --> 00:57:03,631
WHAT ABOUT OXYGEN AT CAMP II?
926
00:57:03,923 --> 00:57:06,134
YEAH, THERE'S
A BOTTLE.
927
00:57:06,426 --> 00:57:11,097
Foster:
THEY'VE JUST CLIMBED TO 29,028
FEET, THE SUMMIT OF EVEREST
928
00:57:11,389 --> 00:57:13,308
AN EXHAUSTING ACCOMPLISHMENT.
929
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,561
NOW THEY WILL TRY TO DESCEND
5,000 MORE FEET
930
00:57:16,853 --> 00:57:19,064
TO GET CARTER
TO A SAFER ALTITUDE.
931
00:57:19,356 --> 00:57:22,150
Breashears:
HEY, DAVID, GOOD LUCK, MAN.
932
00:57:22,442 --> 00:57:25,070
SORRY YOU HAD
TO GET SICK LIKE THIS.
933
00:57:25,362 --> 00:57:28,531
Foster:
DAVID BREASHEARS STAYS AT CAMP IV TO REST
934
00:57:28,823 --> 00:57:30,867
AS ED ACCOMPANIES CARTER.
935
00:57:31,159 --> 00:57:37,999
Viesturs:
HE WOULD GO TEN OR 20 FEET AND
THEN WE'D STOP FOR FIVE MINUTES.
936
00:57:38,291 --> 00:57:41,544
YOU KNOW, HE HAD
TO CATCH HIS BREATH
937
00:57:41,836 --> 00:57:44,631
HE'D HAVE TO TAKE HIS MASK OFF.
938
00:57:44,923 --> 00:57:46,466
HE WAS OVERHEATING
939
00:57:46,758 --> 00:57:51,596
DESPERATELY TRYING TO GAIN
CONTROL OF HIS BREATHING.
940
00:57:51,888 --> 00:57:54,849
I THOUGHT WE COULD GET
TO CAMP II
941
00:57:55,141 --> 00:57:58,687
BUT AS IT TURNED OUT,
IT TOOK US A LONG TIME.
942
00:57:58,978 --> 00:58:03,316
IT TOOK FOUR AND A HALF HOURS
TO GET DOWN TO CAMP III.
943
00:58:03,608 --> 00:58:07,487
SO IT WAS ABOUT 7:00 P.M. THEN,
AND WE GOT INTO THE TENT
944
00:58:07,779 --> 00:58:12,325
AND THAT'S WHEN IT STARTED
TO GET A LITTLE HAIRY.
945
00:58:12,617 --> 00:58:15,495
Foster:
AFTER HOURS OF LABORED BREATHING
946
00:58:15,787 --> 00:58:19,833
CARTER GAINS ENOUGH STRENGTH
TO GET ON THE RADIO.
947
00:58:20,125 --> 00:58:24,671
Donner:
CARTER, MY MAN, HOW YOU DOING?
948
00:58:28,633 --> 00:58:32,470
TELL ME, THIS IS
VERY IMPORTANT, CARTER.
949
00:58:32,762 --> 00:58:34,180
I NEED TO GET A FEELING
950
00:58:34,472 --> 00:58:38,101
FOR WHETHER YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR
LUNGS ARE FULL OF FLUID.
951
00:58:38,393 --> 00:58:41,187
DO YOU FEEL LIKE IT'S
DIFFICULT TO GET AIR?
952
00:58:41,479 --> 00:58:43,565
DO YOU FEEL REALLY
SHORT OF BREATH
953
00:58:43,857 --> 00:58:47,652
OR DO YOU FEEL MORE LIKE IT'S
WHEEZY IN YOUR UPPER AIRWAY
954
00:58:47,944 --> 00:58:51,823
LIKE YOU HAVE ASTHMA? OVER.
955
00:59:21,436 --> 00:59:23,938
Foster:
CARTER SEEMS TO BE IMPROVING.
956
00:59:24,230 --> 00:59:28,985
BUT TWO HOURS LATER,
A DESPERATE CALL FROM ED.
957
00:59:31,696 --> 00:59:36,076
Donner:
WHAT'S GOING ON, ED?
958
00:59:37,577 --> 00:59:40,580
Donner:
ED, I'M GOING TO KEEP TALKING.
959
00:59:40,872 --> 00:59:42,374
YOU DON'T HAVE TO RESPOND.
960
00:59:42,665 --> 00:59:44,417
SEE IF YOU CAN DO A HEIMLICH.
961
00:59:44,709 --> 00:59:49,673
GET HIM TO EXPEL
WHATEVER'S OBSTRUCTING, OVER.
962
01:00:02,894 --> 01:00:04,187
OKAY, ED, LISTEN TO ME.
963
01:00:04,479 --> 01:00:06,189
I'M NOT SURE WHERE YOU'RE AT.
964
01:00:06,481 --> 01:00:08,274
IF IT'S AN OBVIOUS OBSTRUCTION
965
01:00:08,566 --> 01:00:11,611
AND YOU CAN PUSH IT OUT
WITH A HEIMLICH, DO THAT.
966
01:00:11,903 --> 01:00:15,448
IF IT JUST SEEMS LIKE, UH,
CARTER'S AIRWAY IS CLOSING IN
967
01:00:15,740 --> 01:00:17,575
AND YOU NEED TO BREATHE FOR HIM
968
01:00:17,867 --> 01:00:20,745
GO AHEAD AND START
MOUTH-TO-MOUTH VENTILATION.
969
01:00:21,037 --> 01:00:24,082
OVER.
970
01:00:29,546 --> 01:00:31,881
TELL ME WHAT CARTER'S DOING NOW.
971
01:00:32,173 --> 01:00:36,928
WHAT IS HIS
RESPIRATORY STATUS? OVER.
972
01:00:44,102 --> 01:00:47,939
OKAY, WHAT'S VERY IMPORTANT,
CARTER, FOR YOU, IS
973
01:00:48,231 --> 01:00:52,068
I WANT YOU TO TAKE NICE,
EASY, SLOW, DEEP BREATHS.
974
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:56,281
BREATHING QUICKLY RIGHT NOW
WON'T HELP YOU, CARTER
975
01:00:56,573 --> 01:00:59,034
AND I KNOW THIS IS REALLY SCARY.
976
01:00:59,325 --> 01:01:03,788
YOU'RE GOING TO DO FINE,
BUT I NEED YOU TO BREATHE DEEP.
977
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,624
IN AND OUT AND IN AND OUT,
SLOWLY
978
01:01:06,916 --> 01:01:09,627
AND KNOW THAT ED
AND THE REST OF US
979
01:01:09,919 --> 01:01:12,756
ARE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF YOU,
OVER.
980
01:01:13,048 --> 01:01:16,426
Viesturs:
DAVID WAS DESPERATELY
GASPING FOR AIR.
981
01:01:16,718 --> 01:01:20,805
I WASN'T SURE HE WAS GOING
TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT.
982
01:01:21,097 --> 01:01:22,807
I MEAN, HE HAD HIS DOUBTS
983
01:01:23,099 --> 01:01:26,770
AND IT'S A SCARY SITUATION
TO BE UP THERE ALL ALONE
984
01:01:27,062 --> 01:01:33,276
THINKING THAT, YOU KNOW, HERE
THIS GUY MIGHT DIE ON YOU.
985
01:01:37,447 --> 01:01:42,535
Breashears:
HERE WE GO, IT LOOKS LIKE
WE HAVE A RECORD LEVEL.
986
01:01:42,827 --> 01:01:46,414
THAT LIGHT CAME ON,
THAT'S PLUGGED IN.
987
01:01:46,706 --> 01:01:50,293
OKAY, DAVID,
WHAT'S GOING ON?
988
01:01:50,585 --> 01:01:52,045
IT'S BEEN A LONG...
989
01:01:53,922 --> 01:01:57,717
IT'S BEEN A REALLY LONG
COUPLE DAYS FOR ME.
990
01:01:58,009 --> 01:02:00,845
I'VE BEEN VERY SICK COMING DOWN.
991
01:02:01,137 --> 01:02:03,014
I'M TOTALLY EXHAUSTED.
992
01:02:03,306 --> 01:02:07,102
I'M HAVING PROBLEMS
GETTING A FULL BREATH.
993
01:02:07,394 --> 01:02:08,770
MY THROAT FEELS
994
01:02:09,062 --> 01:02:13,191
LIKE I'M BREATHING
THROUGH A STRAW RIGHT NOW.
995
01:02:13,483 --> 01:02:15,902
THIS IS GOD'S GIFT UP HERE.
996
01:02:16,194 --> 01:02:19,948
Carter:
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE
997
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:24,285
WHEN I LITERALLY THOUGHT
I WAS GOING TO DIE.
998
01:02:24,577 --> 01:02:28,123
I STILL TO THIS POINT HAVE NOT
EVEN THOUGHT OF SUMMITING.
999
01:02:28,415 --> 01:02:32,711
I JUST WANT TO GET
DOWN THE MOUNTAIN.
1000
01:02:33,003 --> 01:02:35,547
CHOKING TO DEATH AT 23,000 FEET
1001
01:02:35,839 --> 01:02:39,634
THE FIRST THING THAT WENT
THROUGH MY MIND WAS
1002
01:02:39,926 --> 01:02:41,594
HOW ISOLATED I AM
1003
01:02:41,886 --> 01:02:47,017
AND I'M NOT GOING TO BE RUSHED
TO THE HOSPITAL AND REVIVED.
1004
01:02:47,308 --> 01:02:52,856
I KNEW THAT WHEN I WAS CHOKING,
THERE WAS JUST TWO PEOPLE THERE.
1005
01:02:53,148 --> 01:02:57,193
IT WAS MYSELF AND ED
AND IT WAS FRIGHTENING.
1006
01:02:57,485 --> 01:03:00,321
I DON'T WANT TO DIE
IN THE MOUNTAINS.
1007
01:03:00,613 --> 01:03:02,615
I DON'T WANT TO DIE YOUNG.
1008
01:03:02,907 --> 01:03:09,706
BUT SINCE I'VE SURVIVED IT,
IT'S A BIG PART OF MY LIFE NOW.
1009
01:03:18,256 --> 01:03:20,425
ELEVEN.
1010
01:03:20,717 --> 01:03:23,636
Foster:
TEN DAYS AFTER COMING OFF EVEREST
1011
01:03:23,928 --> 01:03:28,475
THE CLIMBERS RETURN TO SEATTLE
FOR A FINAL SESSION OF TESTING.
1012
01:03:28,767 --> 01:03:33,938
THE SCIENTISTS HAVE NOW HAD
A CHANCE TO ANALYZE THE DATA.
1013
01:03:34,230 --> 01:03:37,984
THE PULSE OXIMETRY DATA
COLLECTED ON THIS EXPEDITION
1014
01:03:38,276 --> 01:03:41,279
SHOWED, AS EXPECTED,
THE DECLINE IN OXYGEN
1015
01:03:41,571 --> 01:03:43,740
WITH HIGHER ASCENT TO ALTITUDE.
1016
01:03:44,032 --> 01:03:48,620
AND DAVID CARTER, IN PARTICULAR,
HAD LOWER BLOOD OXYGEN LEVELS
1017
01:03:48,912 --> 01:03:50,538
WHICH SEEMED TO GO ALONG
1018
01:03:50,830 --> 01:03:54,959
WITH SOME OF THE PROBLEMS
HE WAS HAVING ON THE MOUNTAIN.
1019
01:03:55,251 --> 01:03:59,297
WE NEED TO DO MORE CAREFUL
ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP
1020
01:03:59,589 --> 01:04:04,511
OF THE PULSE OXIMETER READINGS
TO THE M.R.I. SCANS.
1021
01:04:04,803 --> 01:04:09,140
Foster:
DR. HACKETT HAS LOOKED CLOSELY
AT THE M.R.I. SCANS
1022
01:04:09,432 --> 01:04:11,351
SEARCHING FOR ABNORMALITIES.
1023
01:04:11,643 --> 01:04:14,979
HE DISCOVERS THAT EXPOSURE
TO EXTREME ALTITUDE
1024
01:04:15,271 --> 01:04:17,941
CAN LEAVE ITS MARK
ON THE HUMAN BRAIN.
1025
01:04:18,233 --> 01:04:21,528
HACKETT ADDRESSES THE CLIMBERS.
1026
01:04:21,820 --> 01:04:24,406
THE ONLY ABNORMALITY
WE FOUND WAS
1027
01:04:24,698 --> 01:04:27,742
A VERY MILD ATROPHY
IN THE BRAIN OF ED VIESTURS
1028
01:04:28,034 --> 01:04:30,995
WHO HAS CLIMBED MANY TIMES
TO HIGH ALTITUDE
1029
01:04:31,287 --> 01:04:33,206
WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN.
1030
01:04:33,498 --> 01:04:35,041
AND WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS
1031
01:04:35,333 --> 01:04:38,211
FOLLOW HIM OVER A LONGER PERIOD
OF TIME TO SEE
1032
01:04:38,503 --> 01:04:43,299
IF THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY PROGRESS
WITH HIS HIGH-ALTITUDE CAREER.
1033
01:04:43,591 --> 01:04:48,013
Ed lived by the river
for 20 years...
1034
01:04:49,889 --> 01:04:51,850
OH, BOY.
1035
01:04:52,142 --> 01:05:01,109
...and this was the first time
it had been this high, over.
1036
01:05:07,198 --> 01:05:12,162
OH! YOU WERE FEELING BAD THERE.
1037
01:05:12,454 --> 01:05:15,290
WE HAVE REVIEWED
ALL THE TESTS YOU SEE
1038
01:05:15,582 --> 01:05:20,420
AND YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A REAL
DIFFERENCE IN YOUR PERFORMANCE
1039
01:05:20,712 --> 01:05:22,380
AT HIGH ALTITUDE.
1040
01:05:22,672 --> 01:05:26,634
AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS, YOU
ARE OBVIOUSLY IN SURVIVAL MODE.
1041
01:05:26,926 --> 01:05:28,887
FROM THE NUMBERS, WE COULD SEE
1042
01:05:29,179 --> 01:05:31,806
THAT YOUR PERFORMANCE
WAS DETERIORATING
1043
01:05:32,098 --> 01:05:34,642
AND HAD WE HAD
THOSE NUMBERS AVAILABLE
1044
01:05:34,934 --> 01:05:36,895
WE WOULD'VE PROBABLY SUGGESTED
1045
01:05:37,187 --> 01:05:39,606
THAT YOU MIGHT NOT
WANT TO CONTINUE.
1046
01:05:39,898 --> 01:05:44,819
I'M SHOCKED AND I REALIZE NOW
HOW SICK I WAS.
1047
01:05:45,111 --> 01:05:49,366
YOU DON'T... IT'S JUST
A HAZE UP THERE.
1048
01:05:49,657 --> 01:05:52,494
Breashears:
YOU CAN'T TELL UP THERE.
1049
01:05:52,786 --> 01:05:54,829
WE'RE ALL JUST
GETTING BY.
1050
01:05:55,121 --> 01:05:58,416
I'M LOOKING AT DAVID FOR
THE FIRST TIME AT CAMP IV
1051
01:05:58,708 --> 01:06:01,670
AND TYPICALLY I'M TALKING
TO HIM ON THE RADIO
1052
01:06:01,961 --> 01:06:04,547
AND IN FACT, YOU SAW
WHEN HE WAS COUGHING
1053
01:06:04,839 --> 01:06:06,508
HE HAD THE MICROPHONE OFF.
1054
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:08,635
SO I'M HEARING HIS RESPONSES.
1055
01:06:08,927 --> 01:06:12,722
I'M NOT WATCHING HIM COUGH
OR SEEING HOW AWFUL HE LOOKS.
1056
01:06:13,014 --> 01:06:15,392
THE QUESTION THEN WE ASK IS
1057
01:06:15,684 --> 01:06:20,146
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU'RE
IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION?
1058
01:06:20,438 --> 01:06:26,027
ARE YOU ABLE TO THINK QUICKLY,
ARE YOU ABLE TO THINK CLEARLY
1059
01:06:26,319 --> 01:06:30,907
ABOUT WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
TO SURVIVE AND GET DOWN?
1060
01:06:31,199 --> 01:06:33,118
YOU CAN SEE HOW,
IN HIS CONDITION
1061
01:06:33,410 --> 01:06:35,912
HE COULD HAVE NOT
TIED HIS ROPE CORRECTLY
1062
01:06:36,204 --> 01:06:38,289
NOT TIED
INTO HIS HARNESS CORRECTLY
1063
01:06:38,581 --> 01:06:42,961
NOT CLIPPED
INTO THE ANCHOR CORRECTLY.
1064
01:06:43,336 --> 01:06:46,047
Carter:
I LOVE THIS MOUNTAIN.
1065
01:06:46,339 --> 01:06:48,341
I HAVE LEARNED A LOT.
1066
01:06:48,633 --> 01:06:50,385
YOU KNOW, I SUMMITED
1067
01:06:50,677 --> 01:06:54,848
BUT I STILL DON'T EVEN THINK
ABOUT THE SUMMIT.
1068
01:06:55,140 --> 01:06:59,436
I'M STILL THINKING
ABOUT THAT NIGHT AT CAMP III
1069
01:06:59,728 --> 01:07:02,605
BEING NEAR DEATH,
POSSIBLY DYING.
1070
01:07:02,897 --> 01:07:07,152
WHEN I PASSED BY THE LAST LADDER
IN THE ICEFALL
1071
01:07:07,444 --> 01:07:13,241
I KNEW THAT I HAD
SURVIVED MOUNT EVEREST.
1072
01:07:22,167 --> 01:07:24,919
Donner:
DAVID, NOW THAT YOU'VE
BEEN TO THE TOP
1073
01:07:25,211 --> 01:07:29,007
DO YOU THINK THIS WAS YOUR LAST
TRIP UP THIS MOUNTAIN? OVER.
1074
01:07:29,299 --> 01:07:34,512
Breashears:
Well, it's the hardest day
I've ever had on the mountain
1075
01:07:34,804 --> 01:07:36,139
and I have no intention
1076
01:07:36,431 --> 01:07:41,728
of ever going
to the top of Everest again
1077
01:07:42,020 --> 01:07:45,231
and I need lots of people
1078
01:07:45,523 --> 01:07:49,694
to prevent me
from changing my mind.
1079
01:08:07,629 --> 01:08:09,756
{y:i}TAKE THE TESTS YOURSELF.
1080
