TURNING POINT - Mountain Without Mercy (27 April 1997)

TURNING POINT Mountain Without Mercy: The Everest Story April ABC’s news magazine “Turning Point“ had two episodes on the 1996 Mt. Everest climbing season. The first episode aired on September 19, 1996, the season opener for the series. On April 27, 1997, “Turning Point“ aired this show again, with a big difference. This newer episode included what had happened since September 1996, including footage of Beck Weathers and of the Nepalese pilot who rescued two climbers from the base camp on Everest. I have edited out the commercials in my 720p upload of this great “Turning Point“ episode. 20 years ago, those were the days, when ABC News routinely turned out super news magazines.
