Its common knowledge that the air is thinner at higher altitudes. Both victims were from" low altitude" geographcal areas. probably on vacation from NY and Wisconsin. Without acclimation to the thinner atmosphere, vacationers are going to naturally have more physical problems in "low oxygen conditions".

How ironic that many homeless people do this minus the nine grand donation. If they want to listen to someone speak about their greatness, go to church. Sorry that people died and were injured. It just seems a little to self indulgent to me. Just go on a camping trip in the desert in the middle of the summer and for get the cooled with the food and you would have the same affect. Oh and bring a bible and pray. You got to wonder about people who would pay $9000 to lay around in the dirt and not eat for 36 hours.
