I live in Alaska and know that accidents happen when you are in an un controlled  wilderness. We forget that Alaska is not a Disney ride. NO guide is able to win against the forces of nature. People who are born and reared in Alaska fall to the forces of nature every day. I am sorry for the two women who lost their lives. ...their relatives and friends. I am sorry for the guides who will be blamed for the death of these women. Their own guilt will consume them. But these men are not to be blame for something that was no under ther control.  I would think their deaths like this: FACT ARE:  WE ALL ARE GOING TO DIE. Most of us will die a painful, lingering death in a hospital from heart / cancer /Alzheimers / auto accident. Think about the wonderful time these girls were having and the beautiful surroundings  they were in. What a wonderful way to leave this earth with all of its pain and sorrow. I cold only hope that the same would happen for me.
