“Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.” - Warren Buffett. My first source is Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest transcribed for Robert Siegel’s radio show, and is a nonfiction radio interview whose purpose is to inform the readers. The following source is “Why Everest?” It is a nonfiction informational article authored by Guy Moreau to inform readers. My final source is Ranger Killed During Rescue of Climbers in Mount Rainier published by The Seattle Times, and is a nonfiction newspaper to inform readers.No, people don’t have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk because the services are also put in danger, some people aren’t aware of the dangers, and the craft to save someone could be undependable.

The two women who fell into the crevasse were part of a party of four, two women and two men, from Waco, Texas.” The women and their friends, two of whom who fell into the crevasse, got trapped in it while climbing for fun. This evidence supports my claim because it is their fault for causing the death of Hall because they were having fun and taking no precautions. The ranger, deserves the services because he is putting his life at risk by trying to help. The climbers do not deserve it because they were hiking for amusement. Based on the article “Why Everest?,” “By that time, they are tired and may have run low on oxygen. They have faced bad weather, and they have struggled up the icy slopes of the “death zone”... A person cannot survive in this zone for more than two days because of the lack of oxygen and the extreme weathers.” (Moreau, lines 24-28 and 30-32). This supports my claim because climbers who encounter the “death zone”, are not aware of the drastic temperatures and weathers. This makes it difficult to reach rescue services which is why Everest has a high casualty rate.

And they got one climber off, and they crashed attempting to rescue the second man.” states Heil on lines 27-30 from Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest. During the rescue, one climber is allowed per trip. So the pilot should not have any problems. This evidence supports my claim because people shouldn’t report rescue services if they “can’t provide a reliable a helicopter, they should have used separate helicopters. The craft is undependable because it should be stable in order to hold weight while attempting to rescue the distressed climber. During this process the rescue service and the climbers have died, causing more fatalities. According to Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest, “I mean, these machines, the B3’s, cost about 2 million apiece, and they’re quite expensive to operate. So there is a lot of pressure to keep the helicopters flying and working, in order to bring in money – you know, both to pay the bill for this machine, but also to make a profit. So they’re looking for opportunities to, you know, get people out, fly people in, maybe bring supplies somewhere; that kind of thing.” (Heil, lines 64-60). This supports my claim because it shows helicopters are expensive to be used in rescue services. They can be held at a high standard in safety because of how
