In silght defense of going after the millionaires and their Sherpas, they ARE in a small location and easier to find and recover, BUT, the wide-spread disaster in Nepal will not get the coverage in the media concerned with “westerners”.
BTW: news showing foks going through the ruble by hand instead of with heavy machinery, IS THE WAY TO SAVE LIVES! Going in too soon with the machinery will kill MORE people in these post-quake collapses of ancient (even new) buildings. It isn’t that they don’t have the equipment, it’s that initial response is often too dangerous to use it!
