Did teamwork fail in this case? Or was there a lack of leadership? Or can we attribute this disaster to just bad luck?

Bad luck seems to play a considerable role in disasters at Everest, and from the class it seems that ‘luck management’ should be a mandatory skill before attempting to scale the highest mountain in the world, and yet these accidents keep happening.

Blame me for being for India, but what about fate? Beck Weathers should have died in the storm like Namba, but he didn’t. Fischer shouldn’t have died – he’d done this several times, but he fell sick and died. What do we attribute this to?
