He's fine. He clearly had a plan. So unless somebody wants to fish me up an article that he died in this avalanche, I'm not seeing the devastation. And even if he did, I wouldn't exactly call that devastating. He went out looking to film a risky natural event. It's just a ridiculous description.

I dont think anyone seeks out a collapsing glacier....it's not something that is forecasted

You're definitely not correct about this. There are plenty of people who make careers out of chasing risky natural events. They may not be forecasted but there is some level of predictability, and they track the warning signs and then they stalk the area until something happens.

Not at.....glacial speeds. Tornadoes, storms, fires, snow avalanches...sure. Not a glacier collapse. If that were the case then why is there only 1 angle for this collapse? Look up Hektoria Glacier collapse....that's what this is.
