U.S.: Unlucky Mount St. Helens climber found; no, he didn’t survive.

  • Boom, it busted off and I saw him clawing for the edge with a startled look on his face, and then he disappeared. I was looking right at him, he was only 10 feet away … then he just disappeared.
  • Climber Scott Salkovics • On the death of fellow climber, Joseph Bohlig, who fell 1,500 feet to his death inside Mount St. Helens yesterday. The cornice that held him up fell out from under him, literally making him fall inside the volcano.  Salkovics was just watching Bohlig get his picture taken by a friend. source

Offbeat: Like lemmings, these cars hit an icy road and crash EVERYWHERE

  • Man, we sure like our tower. We can look at videos like this and just be happy we weren’t a party to any of this. Not a single car – even the parked ones, which probably got it worse – on this icy road went unscathed after it got so slick as to turn the road into a massive pinball game where the only winner is you, the viewer.

Culture: A PR person speculates on why Tiger shouldn’t let people speculate

  • There’s only two things worse than whatever really happened outside Tiger Woods’ house: speculation and the appearance of a cover up.
  • David and Sam PR founder and creative director David Eichler • Describing why Woods’ desire to keep the car crash story under wraps is doing him significantly more harm than good. “When you make a billion dollars by being a celebrity you have no privacy,” he continues. “No matter how egregious the truth is, Tiger’s camp would be well served to learn from history and not try to run, hide or pretend they don’t owe the public the truth.” source
