  1. Mo Tom, probably next to her mouth…Like all other Asians and Gen Xer’s and millennial’s. She wanted to be a star. But she didn’t have enough body-fat to last a night of freezing temperatures before they could reach her. Such a shame, really. But hard to understand why people do these things. But I also remember my childhood fascination with Evil Knievel!

  2. Orientals eating poisonous fish. A dozen of their guys riding a gigantic log down a steep slope. Godzilla. Then taking selfies hanging on the top of a skyscraper’s antenna, 1500 feet over the ground with no ropes. Now this. They have a deathwish.

  5. Sad.
    But she died doing what she wanted to do – which is more than a lot can claim.

    She didn’t starve to death on the streets of Caracas, or Havana, or get shot in a drive-by in Chicago, or raped and murdered in New York.
