    In this episode of 'Disaster Strikes' on the Crux podcast, host Julie Henningsen delves into the harrowing story of David Sharp, a dedicated mountaineer whose third attempt to summit Mount Everest ended in tragedy. On May 15, 2006, Sharp was found unresponsive at 27,890 feet, seated next to the landmark known as Green Boots Cave. Despite attempts to help from several climbers, Sharp ultimately did not survive. The episode explores the decisions and conditions that led to this tragic outcome, the ethical dilemmas facing fellow climbers, and the broader implications for high-altitude mountaineering. Henningsen also contrasts Sharp's fate with the miraculous survival of Lincoln Hall, another climber left for dead but who managed to survive under similar conditions. The episode serves as a poignant reminder of the perils of mountaineering. 00:00 Introduction to Disaster Strikes 00:59 The Tragic Encounter on Everest 03:34 David Sharp's Background and Climbing History 06:25 The Final Attempt and Its Challenges 07:13 The Controversial Basic Package 14:33 The Deadly Climb of 2006 16:37 Green Boots and the Final Resting Place 19:12 David Sharp's Final Hours 19:54 Turkish Climbers' Dilemma 21:50 Controversy and Confusion 22:44 Efforts to Save Sharp 24:35 The Aftermath and Public Outcry 27:29 Lincoln Hall's Miraculous Survival 31:53 Comparing Sharp and Hall 34:20 Legacy and Reflection 35:32 Conclusion and Final Thoughts References David Sharp (mountaineer) - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Sharp_(mountaineer) Lincoln Hall (climber) - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Hall_(climber) Green Boots - Ultimate Kilimanjaro https://www.ultimatekilimanjaro.com/green-boots-on-mount-everest-who-was-he-how-did-he-die/ "Dying For Everest" (2007) New Zealand TV3 Documentary featuring interviews with climbers and expedition leaders "Everest: Beyond the Limit" (2006-2009) Discovery Channel series featuring Russell Brice's Himex expeditions, Season 1 includes David Sharp incident "Dead Lucky: Life After Death on Mount Everest" by Lincoln Hall (2007) "Dark Summit: The True Story of Everest's Most Controversial Season" by Nick Heil (2008) "Over the Top" - Outside Online (August 15, 2006) https://www.outsideonline.com/1909966/over-top "The Tragic Death of David Sharp" - Eight Summits https://eightsummits.com/bills-articles/the-tragic-death-of-david-sharp/ "Lincoln Hall Rescue" - SummitClimb https://www.summitclimb.com/news/mef/lincoln-hall-rescue Alan Arnette - Everest Coverage https://www.alanarnette.com "Mortality on Mount Everest, 1921-2006: descriptive study" British Medical Journal (PMC2602730) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    On this anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, Good Is In The Details revisits one of history's most consequential moments in engineering, ethics, and public trust. On January 28, 1986, the Challenger broke apart just 73 seconds after liftoff, killing all seven crew members and shocking the world. In this encore episode, Gwendolyn Dolske, Rudy Salo, and Engineering Professor Phil Rosenkrantz explore what really happened behind the scenes, the technical causes of the catastrophic O-ring failure, and the deeply human decisions that led NASA and its contractor to proceed with launch despite known risks. We dive into engineering ethics and professional responsibility, discussing how engineers' concerns were raised and then overruled, and what that teaches us about risk, organizational pressure, and moral reasoning in high-stakes contexts. Whether you're interested in spaceflight history, engineering ethics case studies, or the broader public philosophy of how societies make and justify risky decisions, this episode offers a thoughtful, philosophically framed examination of one of the most studied disasters in aerospace history.

    Rebuilding After the Fire: How Designers, Architects & Community Leaders Are Reimagining Livability in Southern California A panel of architects, designers, sustainability experts, and community advocates explore what the 2025 Palisades and Altadena fires taught us about resilience, materiality, community loss, rebuilding timelines, economic displacement, and the future of Southern California living. Moderated by Adam Hunter. The 2025 Palisades and Altadena fires delivered a historic and deeply personal shock to Southern California communities, reshaping not only homes but expectations for safety, materiality, and resilience. In this WestEdge Wednesday conversation moderated by Adam Hunter, the panel digs into both the physical and emotional layers of rebuilding. Architect Richard Manion contextualizes the fires as a “perfect storm”—a wind-driven event functioning like a flamethrower—requiring a more holistic approach to resilient construction. Sarah Malek Barney highlights the risks of long-standing industry shortcuts in material selection and emphasizes the renewed value of fire-resistant, performance-proven products. Marcella Oliver outlines actionable guidance from USGBC California and the Net Zero Accelerator, underscoring vetted building strategies and digital-twin modeling as essential tools for community education. Stacy Munich brings forward the human consequences: underinsurance, temporary housing, and the emotional weight of rebuilding while navigating uncertainty. She explores prefab/precision-built housing as a potential solution for families priced out of traditional custom rebuilding. Todd Paolillo expands on the challenge of unifying a large number of well-intentioned contributors across agencies, nonprofits, and design sectors—and why true leadership must emerge to align them. Throughout the discussion, key themes emerge: Holistic resilience (materials, landscape, climate risk, embers, structural vulnerabilities) Community cohesion vs. community erosion Education gaps for homeowners suddenly forced into complex architectural decisions Economic realities shaping who can return and who is pushed out Long rebuilding timelines and the risk of “enthusiasm fatigue,” as Adam Hunter notes Avoiding both prefab monotony and hyper-luxury displacement in the Alphabet Streets The panel collectively reinforces a core message: rebuilding isn't simply architecture—it's long-term community-making. And it requires every discipline to show up.

    Three months ago, I hired a social media manager who tanked my accounts, wasted $5,000, and nearly destroyed everything I'd built. My engagement dropped 60%. My followers started leaving. My sales dried up. It was a DISASTER. But that disaster taught me more about business, hiring, trust, and intuition than any $10K course ever could. In this raw, unfiltered episode, I'm sharing the red flags I ignored, the lessons I learned the hard way, and how I rebuilt my accounts STRONGER than before. If you've ever hired the wrong person, ignored your gut, or wondered "how do I find good help for my business?"—this episode is for you. I'm not holding back. I'm naming the specific mistakes (mine AND theirs), showing you the exact data that proved it wasn't working, and walking you through my rebuild strategy. This is the behind-the-scenes business lesson nobody talks about but EVERYONE needs to hear.If you enjoyed today's episode be sure to let us know on Instagram or over on our YouTube Channel - all under the name Keenya Kelly Subscribe to The If You Create It Podcast!Watch episodes on YouTube!!Get 150 Viral Hook Ideas for FREEhttps://www.keenyakelly.com/150hooksJoin the  Viral Visibility Methodhttps://www.viralvisibilitymethod.com

    Episode #253 - Ice Fishing Safety and Strategy: Tip-Ups, Moving Fish, and Avoiding Disaster with Matthew Crawford In this episode, I sit down with Matthew Crawford, a passionate Wisconsin angler who has built a reputation for sharing real-world fishing knowledge, honest experiences, and practical ice fishing tactics. Matthew walks me through how he went from casually fishing with family to becoming deeply committed to ice fishing during COVID, including the early mistakes that shaped how he fishes today. We talk about why movement is critical on the ice, how to use tip-ups more effectively, and how understanding fish behavior can turn slow days into successful ones. We also dive into ice safety in a very real way. Matthew shares a firsthand experience of falling through early-season ice and what he learned from it. It's a powerful reminder that ice fishing requires not fear, but respect, preparation, and caution. This episode is packed with Wisconsin-specific insight, tactical advice for ice anglers, and lessons that apply whether you're brand new to fishing or have been chasing fish for decades.
