KATHMANDU, Nepal (TheBlaze/AP) — Two Indian climbers have gone missing on Mount Everest, an expedition organizer said Sunday, after two deaths from apparent altitude sickness in recent days highlighted the risks on the world’s highest mountain.
Paresh Nath and Goutam Ghosh have been missing since Saturday, said Wangchu Sherpa of the Trekking Camp Nepal agency in Kathmandu. They were last seen near the Everest summit.

Two of their companions who fell sick were being helped down the mountain, Sherpa said. About 30 climbers have developed frostbite or become sick near the summit in recent days.
Most of the sick climbers suffered frostbite while attempting to reach the summit or on their descent, Mountaineering Department official Gyanendra Shrestha said. Favorable weather has allowed nearly 400 climbers to reach the summit from Nepal since May 11, but the altitude, weather and harsh terrain can cause problems at any time.
Several Sherpa guides carried one sick climber from the highest camp, at nearly 8,000 meters (26,240 feet), to Camp 2, at 6,400 meters (21,000 feet), where attempts were being made to pick her up with a helicopter, said Pemba Sherpa of the Seven Summit Treks agency in Kathmandu. Seema Goshwami of India had frostbite to her hands and feet at the South Col camp and was unable to move.
“It took a big and risky effort, but we were able to save her,” Pemba Sherpa said, adding that an Iranian climber identified only as S. Hadi had been brought to Kathmandu and was recovering in a hospital.
A Norwegian woman, 45-year-old Siv Harstad, suffered snow blindness and was helped down from the summit on Saturday, the Norwegian news agency NTB said.
The two climbers who died were on the same expedition team. It was undecided when and if their bodies will be brought down from the high altitude and it will depend on the team and family members, Pasang Phurba of the Seven Summits agency said. Carrying bodies down Everest takes at least eight Sherpa guides, since they become frozen and heavier than normal.
More details were not available because of communication difficulties on the 8,850-meter (29,035-foot) mountain.
The two deaths were the first confirmed this year on Everest, during a busy climbing season that follows two years in which the peak was virtually empty due to two fatal avalanches.
Dutch climber Eric Arnold, 35, had enough bottled oxygen with him, as well as climbing partners, but he complained of getting weak and died Friday night near South Col before he was able to get to a lower altitude, Phurba said.

Just hours after Arnold died, Australian climber Maria Strydom, a finance lecturer at Monash University’s business school in Melbourn also showed signs of altitude sickness Saturday afternoon before she died, Phurba said.
Strydom was a finance lecturer at Monash University’s business school in Melbourne. The school posted on Facebook that the community was “deeply saddened” by her death.
Arnold was from the Dutch city of Rotterdam, according to his Twitter account, which was updated on Friday with a post that he had reached the summit on his fifth try.
In an interview earlier this year with RTV Rijnmond, Arnold noted that the risks of climbing the world’s highest peak did not end at the summit.
“Two-thirds of the accidents happen on the way down,” he said. “If you get euphoric and think ‘I have reached my goal,’ the most dangerous part is still ahead of you.”
Strydom and her husband were attempting to climb the seven summits, the highest peaks on the seven continents, according to the Monash Business School’s website.
She had already climbed Denali in Alaska, Aconcagua in Argentina, Mount Ararat in Turkey and Kilamanjaro in Kenya, the website said. Strydom said she felt well-prepared for her attempt to climb Everest, and that depending on whether she reached the summit, her mind would likely turn to her next adventure.
Thousands of people have summited Mount Everest since it was first conquered by New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay in 1953. But more than 250 people have died in the attempt.
Trekking companies were anxious to see foreign climbers return after two years of disasters. Nepal’s devastating earthquake last year caused the season to be canceled, and climbing attempts were largely abandoned in 2014 after an avalanche above the base camp killed 16 Sherpa guides.

VIENNA (TheBlaze/AP) — A gunman fired shots early Sunday into a small crowd attending an open air concert organized by a local motorcycle club, killing two people and wounding 11 others before shooting himself to death, police said.
Witnesses said panic broke out as the first shots rang out, with many in the crowd running into nearby woods or onto a freeway close to the venue in Austria’s westernmost Vorarlberg province, according to Florian Kasseroler, mayor of the town Nenzing.

He said the gunman apparently fired from a Kalashnikov assault rifle and cited one witness as estimating that a burst of up to 40 shots was fired.
Police declined to comment on the type of weapon used beyond describing it as a long gun.
They said the overnight shooting was preceded by a loud argument between the 27-year-old gunman and a woman in a nearby parking lot.
“This argument must have escalated,” said police spokeswoman Susanne Dilp. “The man then grabbed a gun from his car, went to the concert venue and started shooting around wildly.”
The man killed himself after returning to the parking lot, said police.
The concert had been organized in a field by “The Lords” motorcycle club and was attended by about 150 people.
The woman, described as the gunman’s partner, was not wounded in the shooting near Nenzing, about 40 kilometers (24 miles) east of Austria’s border to Liechtenstein.
Police said one of the victims was in critical condition, while eight others remained hospitalized by Sunday afternoon, more than 10 hours after the shooting.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday to discuss his campaign’s plans as the race for his party’s nomination enters into its advanced stages.
As the race currently stands, Sanders has 1,494 compared to Clinton’s 1,768, not counting superdelegates. But when superdelegates are taken into account, Clinton’s 2,293 dwarf Sanders’ 1,533 pledged delegates. This, Sanders and his supporters have argued, is a sign of a thoroughly undemocratic party policy.
“There’s something absurd when I get 46 percent of the delegates that come from real contests, real elections and 7 percent of superdelegates,” Sanders told host Jake Tapper Sunday.

— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) May 22, 2016
“Some 400 of Hillary Clinton’s superdelegates came onboard her campaign before anybody else announced — it was an anointment,” the Vermont senator added.
Given this, however, Sanders noted that though the race is a “very, very, uphill fight,” he has no plans to slow down or to drop out.

Appearing on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday, Sanders told host George Stephanopoulos that he believes Clinton is “jumping the gun a little bit” by claiming she will be the Democratic Party’s nominee.
“This objective evidence is our campaign is the strongest to defeat Trump,” he said.
The most recent poll by the Washington Post-ABC shows Hillary Clinton lagging slightly behind the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump.
When asked if he would ever consider being Clinton’s running mate, Sanders told Stephanopoulos, “It’s a little early to talk about that. Right now, our function is to do everything I can, George” to “go into that convention with as much momentum as possible.”

Hershey Park announced this week that “transgender guests visiting the theme park may use the bathroom that matches their gender identity, or a family restroom if they wish,” WPMT-TV reported.
A statement on the issue released by Hershey Park’s Public Relations Manager Kathy Burrows this week reads, “Our company has four core values, one of which is ‘respectful of others,; which we define as treating all people with dignity, while respecting their differences and ideas.”
Image via Facebook/Hershey Park
Burrows noted that the Pennsylvania theme park “has and will always strive to accommodate all guests and employees – including members of the LGBT community – to ensure those visiting or working at Hersheypark are comfortable and feel secure.” According to the company, this includes allowing guests and employees “to use the restrooms with which they gender-identify” or family restrooms available throughout the park.
But not everyone was pleased with the decision. After PennLive.com reported the story Friday, many online commenters were quick to offer both adamant support, while others expressed their deepest disappointment:
Some park-goers who saw the announcement as a rejection of the company’s family values even called for a boycott.

KABUL, Afghanistan (TheBlaze/AP) — The Afghan government and a senior Taliban commander confirmed Sunday that the extremist group’s leader, Mullah Mohammed Akhtar Mansour, has been killed in a U.S. drone strike.
Mullah Abdul Rauf, who recently reconciled with Mansour after initially rebelling against his ascension to the leadership, told The Associated Press that Mansour died in the strike late Friday “in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border area.”

Afghanistan’s intelligence agency announced that Mansour had been killed in an air attack Saturday afternoon.
In a statement, the National Directorate of Security, as the secret service is known, said the attack took place in Baluchistan province, in southwestern Pakistan.
It is believed to have been the first drone strike on Baluchistan, which could explain why Mansour was traveling in an unarmored car without a convoy, decoys or bodyguards.
Ahead of the official confirmation of Mansour’s death, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking in Myanmar Sunday, repeatedly referred to him in the past tense.
Mansour, he said “posed a continuing imminent threat to U.S. personnel in Afghanistan, Afghan civilians, Afghan security forces” and members of the U.S./NATO coalition.
He said the air strike on Mansour “sends a clear message to the world that we will continue to stand with our Afghan partners.”
“Peace is what we want, Mansur was a threat to that effort,” Kerry said. “He also was directly opposed to peace negotiations and to the reconciliation process. It is time for Afghans to stop fighting and to start building a real future together.”
Mansour formally led the Taliban after the death was announced last summer of Mullah Mohammad Omar, the movement’s founder.
Mansour, Mullah Omar’s deputy, concealed the Taliban founder’s death for more than two years, and ran the Taliban in his name until the death was revealed by the Afghan government.
The revelation caused wide fissures in the movement that Mansour worked hard to mend.
Speaking live on television as he chaired a Cabinet meeting, Afghan Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah said Mansour’s death would have a positive effect on attempts to bring peace to Afghanistan, where the Taliban have been waging an insurgency for 15 years.
Mansour was “the main figure preventing the Taliban joining the peace process,” Abdullah said. “From the day he took over the Taliban following the death of Mullah Omar, he intensified violence against ordinary citizens, especially in Afghanistan.”
AP Photo
The drone strike targeted Mansour’s vehicle which was carrying Mansour and one other person at the time, a U.S. military source said.
Another Taliban source identified the driver as Muhammad Azam Hasanai, and said the vehicle the two men were traveling in was completely destroyed. Photographs showed the twisted and burned wreckage of the vehicle, alongside deep holes in the road.
A senior Afghan official, who also spoke only on condition of anonymity, said Mansour controlled a substantial financial empire, largely built on smuggling drugs produced in southern Afghanistan’s Helmand province. Different Taliban factions have recently fought over control of smuggling routes, the official said, an indication that the group’s ideological discipline and unity was slipping.
“When they started fighting for power, that was the erosion of the legitimacy of their own rank and file,” he said.
The official said there had been a recent shift in the balance of power from Mansour to his deputy, Surajuddin Haqqani, a leader of the notoriously brutal Haqqani network which is affiliated with al-Qaida.
It is not clear, however, which commander or faction will now take over the leadership of the group.
Mullah Mohammad Yaqub, the son of Taliban founder Mullah Omar, is popular, charismatic and believed by some officials to favor participation in a peace talks. He controls the Taliban’s military commissions in 15 of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces and, like Rauf, recently reconciled with Mansour.

The Democratic primaries have been fierce, and the tension only seemed to escalate this past week. In the days following the May 14 Nevada convention, the ongoing allegation posed by Sanders supporters has been the unfair weight given to superdelegates and pro-Clinton bias among party leadership. On the other hand, Clinton’s camp have accused their opponent of essentially being a sore loser and inciting violence.
Needless to say, the cast of “Saturday Night Live” this week took advantage of the heightened drama between Bernie Sanders and Hillary.
Image source: YouTube
“Well, bartender, I’ve done it! I’ve won the nomination! I mean, no I haven’t — I keep losing states — but mathematically, I’ve done it! To math!” Clinton (Kate McKinnon), seated alone at a nearly empty piano bar, exclaims in this week’s cold open.
A cheery Clinton then announces that she’s heading home for the evening and tells the bartender (Kenan Thompson) not to work too late.
“Oh, I won’t Mrs. Clinton. I’m actually closing up the bar right now. So everybody’s gotta go — That means you too, sir!” the bartender announces to an agitated older man sulking in a corner chair.
“No freaking way! I’m not going anywhere! I can stay here as long as I want!” Bernie (Larry David) shouts, adding, “No! It’s not over! It’s not over till I say it’s over!”
Clinton’s campaign would disagree. When counting superdelegates, the delegate count between the political rivals is 2,293 (Clinton) to 1,533 (Sanders). Given that 2,383 delegates are needed to earn the Democratic nomination, a Sanders victory does seem like a longshot.
Image source: YouTube
Bernie (David) then joins Hillary (McKinnon) at the bar, where the two civilly insult each other, covering everything from Hillary’s distinct taste in suit jackets (“It looks like you were just elected by the Galactic Council!”), to the email scandal (Sanders: “Remember when I told everyone to stop talking about your ‘damn emails’? What a shmuck! So stupid!”), to the “special” role Bernie will have in the future Clinton administration: “Don’t worry! I promise I’m going to have a very special role for you in my administration. How would you like to be — wait for it — the Senator from Vermont!”
Then, Hillary notes that, with her strong lead, she’s “started pivoting towards the general” against the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump. This doesn’t sit well with Bernie.
“Ehhhh and I’ve gotta say, I’ve, uh, I’ve noticed the pivot!” he shouts. “Not a fan of the pivot. Way too early for the pivot.”
“Oh, and remember all those states like Wyoming where you beat me by a lot and I got most of the delegates?!” Hillary jests, obliviously bringing up what’s been a particularly sensitive topic for Bernie.
“It’s rigged!” Bernie exclaims.
“It’s so rigged!” Hillary admits, laughing.
Then they cheers their beers to DNC head Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is perhaps the only person Sanders supporters detest more than Clinton, before finishing with an elaborate dance through the ‘SNL’ audience.
With this week’s show being the last ‘Saturday Night Live’ until the fall season, it will likely be David’s last time playing the senator from Vermount. But then again, it’s not over until it’s over.
