Ceci n'est pas une pipe

This morning I read with some surprise outburst of Agostino Da Polenza published Montagna.TV because I was now certain that the carousel of the controversy that erupted during and after recovery of Walter and Simon from Nanga Parbat had finally exhausted. The editorial by Grasso titled "Live on Death," published in the latest issue of the Magazine in effect does not add or detract from what you've already read about the dramatic events of last July. It seems contrary to the result of a thought too late to be perfectly honest, especially considering the scontatezza Grasso's thesis: the rescue of July would be an event packed ad hoc by the media for the simple fact that the media if they are occupied widely. Fat alludes, as others long before him, the fact that sending the helicopter was not motivated by a real need, but rather by the need to make it even more spectacular return of Walter and Simon.

To document his thought Grasso reported a few sentences from the diary that the survivors themselves have delivered to the Editor of Corriere della Sera , shortly after their return to Italy. Passages where the two climbers are questioning briefly on a phrase from Polenza inviting them to maintain frequent contact with the crisis unit because "the media wants to know." True, the phrase admits several interpretations, especially if you ignore or decide to ignore the context that produced it. In those days the seat of the EV-K2-CNR Committee letterelmente was besieged by television crews that camped inside and outside the rooms they had set up a computer workstation connected to the ABC-Pyramid station . It is not difficult to understand then the pressure at which the entire team from Bergamo was subject, including Da Polenza who directed the entire operation. Both he and many elements of his staff have stopped for over a week any other business to attend to rescue, working during the weekend with rounds that saw them busy from dawn to night. The phrase "the media wants to know" is not so "smile that is television," seems to understand how fat, but rather "brave boys, you are not alone, everyone here wants to know you and are waiting, do not worry: we are coming. " Maybe fat is not considered that the sentence was not directed at two aspiring starlets, but two men missing for days in an infinite desert of ice that had swallowed up forever friend Karl Unterkircher .
