Miracle on Mt. Everest: Missing Sherpa Found Alive After One Week 😱
In an extremely rare and unbelievable survival story from Mt. Everest, Dawa Sherpa (Hillary Dawa), 52, who went missing on May 29 above Camp III, has been found alive after surviving nearly a week in the death zone.
This morning, a garbage management team from SPCC (Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee) rescued him near Crampon Point, where he was reportedly seen slowly crawling toward Everest Base Camp.
Without food or water, battling extreme cold and high altitude, Dawa somehow managed to survive one of the harshest environments on Earth. He is currently suffering from frostbite and is speaking very slowly, but he is alive and being taken to Gorakshep for treatment.
Yesterday, even an aerial search team could not locate him — making today’s rescue feel nothing short of a miracle.
I sincerely hope that either @netflix or @PrimeVideo portray this into a Movie. The World needs to see & appreciate the grit and resilience of Sherpas.

The sheet of faces taped to his camera is there because, up close under the lights, NBA players barely look like their team photos. So the second an announcer says a name, he gets a split second to find that exact guy in a tangle of moving bodies and swing the camera onto him.
And finding the player is the easy part. He's running three jobs at once that a movie crew would split between three people. With one hand he aims a heavy camera and works the zoom. With the other he keeps the shot in focus. The whole time, a director is talking in his ear, calling out what to grab next, and none of it gets a second take. On a real film set, there's a person whose only job, all day long, is keeping the picture sharp. For this guy, focus is just one of the things he's juggling at once.
The lens itself works against him. The long lenses used for live sports can fill the whole screen with a single player standing at the far end of the court, and the good ones cost as much as a Lamborghini. The more he zooms in, the thinner the strip of court that stays in focus. Zoom in tight, and only a few inches are sharp. A player leans in for a layup, drifts half a step, and just like that, he's a blur.
So he can't just follow the ball. By the time his eyes catch a pass and his hands react, the shot's already soft. He has to guess. He reads the play a beat early and aims the focus where the ball is about to go, like a point guard firing a pass to a spot before his teammate even gets there. One of Canon's top lens engineers summed it up: he said he wouldn't want to be the one keeping a snowboarder sharp on a halfpipe with the whole world watching.
Wemby is the best athlete in that building. But the guy making sure you never miss a second of him might be the one person in there nobody's supposed to notice.
Antony Starr reveals that they shot an alternate ending for ‘THE BOYS’ where Homelander wins.
“He fucking kills everyone and scorches the entire planet. Oh well, it will never see the light of day.”
