Here's an UPDATE on the situation at Everest Base Camp.
It looks like there are 17 people dead there.
The news is focusing on the fact that some of the dead are prominent people (incl. one exec from Google) - but all climbers are 'people', regardless of status. Everyone matters!

It sounds like the situation is very difficult up there ... very large avalanches. Probably the firsthand reports will start to trickle out in the next week.
