Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this episode we discuss the 1996 Mount Everest Climbing Disaster. In one season 12 climbers would perish on Mount Everest. We cover 6 of these in the story covered by 'Into Thin Air' and the film 'Everest'. The drive to make it to the summit would lead to disastrous consequences when a storm hit the climbers. This is part 1 of 2.
