Was Pakistani porter left to die in bid to scale K2 in record time? Know tragic incident and the facts behind it
Kristine Harila has denied the accusation that she and her team left an injured porter to die and walked over him in a bid to secure the world record for scaling all mountains above the height of 8,000 feet in the shortest time, according to reports. Porter Mohmmad Hassan reportedly fell off a ledge while scaling K2, the second-highest summit of the world. A video posted on the social media platform shows Hassan lying on the ground and many people walking over him. Denying the allegation that she left Hassan to die, Kristine Harila said that the porter was a member of another team that walked away. She said that her team tried to fasten a rope around Hassan and give him oxygen support as he was hanging upside down. She added further that her team was trying to help the porter when an avalanche went off around the corner She also said that after she ensured the safety of her team, she moved on thinking that more help was coming for Hassan. Harila also said that when she came back, she found that the Pakistani porter had died. She added that no one in her team was in a condition to carry the body back to the base camp. The Norwegian mountaineer's reply came when Austrian climbers Wilhelm Steindl and Philip Flamig posted pictures to show how people walked over the dying Hassan. The duo also said that when they saw people walking over Hassan, they were shocked and they cried. They said that one person was trying to help the Pakistani porter, there was no rescue operation and people were simply walking over him to reach the summit in time so that they could make a record. But Kristine Harila said that no one was to blame for this tragic incident.
