" Who gets the bill for this careless overnight trip???? Those girls are lucky that they are alive and I agree its a wierd sistuation. Did they do this for a reason??? Laughing on the news was a slap in the face to all those people who came to help. "

" We should have let "nature" take care of these two "nature hikers". These two should not be let loose in a city park much less in the Alaskan bush. "




Proactive thinking wrote on Jun 21, 2008 11:40 AM:

" Maybe the Park should be proactive rather than reactive. In the future when people register to go hike maybe they should have to pay a fee for a satellite phone that will be taken with them and turned in when they return. Kinda like taken Onstar with you. It seems to me this would be more cost effective. "

" I'm wondering if anyone knows who pays for the rescue? Do the lost & found ladies get a bill? Don't the people who climb McKinley...excuse me....Denali, post a bond in case they have to be rescued? "

" I stand by my comments. If you were killed rescuing an idiot, your family would be first to sue someone I am almost sure. Get some help for your blogger rage. "




Sounds fishy...... wrote on Jun 19, 2008 1:18 PM:

" Did you see the interview on tv, how stupid can you get? And the Park shouldn't allow anyone to go roaming the park with out info and checking for a gps and compass. This story sounds fishy, either they are extremely stupid or they were up to something, like this was staged....???? Didn't sound like anyone was trying to get to that wedding of the sister does it?

" Making a mistake is only as much as crime as being a rude, inconsiderate commenter who has nothing to say about the situation at all; just to hurl an insult at someone he saw on the news from his recliner. Nature throws suprises at people and the relative calm invites nonlocals in for that surprise. It isn't "airheadedness" or stupidity, it's a lesson. I am a rescuer, and I rescue people all the time who make mistakes. Not their fault, just their liability; just my calling. Do you rescue? Or just whine? "

" Make them and their families pay for the rescue and the search. Their interview after being rescued just shows how clueless they are. Now they have their 15 minutes of fame. Any money they make with their story should be forfeited and turned over to the rescue teams for the next time they have to risk their lives for idiots. "
