The world can come up with all this technology but they cant make something to put in snow to look for these people that not fair. They have machines to look underground and space, thousands of miles away. So they can find some type of way to look for these people they just dont want to risk there life. I dont care if its to dangerous risking there life looking but people risk there life going to iraq dying. At least they can send poeple to risk there life to save someone or just bring them back. Like I read 3 decades ago a man live 13 days in a cave. So these people may just be lucky.

Because the FAMILIES have come to the conclusion that these guys cannot possibly still be alive, and to continue would be risking the lives of the search party members.
You don't care that the lives of those people who have diligently been out in the cold and snow looking for three fools who went out hiking in the snow with only enough food for one day? These guys weren't in Iraq risking their lives to keep America safe...They were simply hikers who made some foolish decisions. Shame on you, I say, for expecting other people to stay out there searching for them, when ALL of them could have been home in front of the fire, if they had simply been smart enough to NOT GO HIKING IN THE SNOW.
The evidence shows that these guys were not in a cave...Their equipment was found at the top of the mountain, with no footprints leading away from it...Considering that the winds were blowing at 100 mph while they were up there, there is every reason to believe that they were simply blown off the mountain, to their deaths.
It is sad, but keeping other people out in the danger will only add to the sadness of the situation.

I assume you are talking about the climbers lost on Mt. Hood.
The rationale is cold but simple. It has reached the point where the likelyhood of someone being hurt looking for them has exceeded the expectation of finding anyone alive.
When you freeze you become a block of ice. There is no technology that I know of that will find you. You have no body heat - even residual heat, you do not decompose (gases) you do not get dragged around by animals (pieces scattered around to make for a larger target) and so on. All of those situations would assist to allow you to be discovered but they are not present here.
Even some of the family members are agreeing with the end of the search and, having been involved in search an rescues for many years I think that every effort was made in this case and what is happening elsewhere in the world has no bearing on these decisions.
sorry........

Well what are you wasting your time here typing for. Get up there and look for them. You are complaining because someone else has stopped risking their lives when you never started risking yours. Get off your biblical beast of burden and YOU go walk through all that snow.

You want a man to risk his life to save another man...youre crazy! I feel bad for them and their families, but what the hell were they doing there in the first place?! Idiots. They knew the risks before they packed their bags, feel free to volunteer yourself to go out there to find them, but as for forcing others to do so...NO WAY!

The answers given to this question are so unbelievable harsh, cold and unfeeling. The people searching should continue because it is their job. That is what they signed on to do. For the victims to be blamed is unreal. I hope to God nothing happens to any of your loved ones so people can give up searching.
