Don't we got the technology to find the missing climbers?

Question

Why cant we use heat vision from above or use any of those fancy cameras the US has?

Answer 1

If they're already dead their bodies have cooled to the temperature of their surroundings. Heat sensors wouldn't find them.

That was why it took them a little while to realize that one of the hikers was in that first snow cave, until they actually got down there and looked at it.

Answer 2

For the climbers on Mt Hood the storm was so bad that heat detectors would be hampered. Also the large search area may make it impractical. When you see it being used on TV cop shows they are covering a very small area.

Sometimes skiers or hikers use signaling devices. Those also have limited distance but can save lives.

Answer 3

We do not have the technology to find the missing climbers if the location of the missing climbers is beyond the reach of our current technology. What they're not beyond, is our prayers.

Answer 4

The terrible blizzards made that difficult and those men had dug caves to spend much time in. Those climbers should have been equipped with high frequency radio's and top line GPS homing devices.

Answer 5

Probably would capture the image of more high altitude animals than human moutain climbers, yes?

Answer 6

Well they probably could depending on the circumstances. Sometimes these search crews have their reasons. I guess for all of the technology we do have we can't quite beat mother nature though.

Answer 7

all the high tech in the world can not save you from the ultimate weapon NATURE .

Answer 8

i dunno
