Avalanche at Tunnel Creek

Today's Seattle Times:  a NY Times article about 12 skiers who skied down a steep mountain face at a high avalanche danger. Three skiers died in the ensuing snow slide.   The quotes are peppered with "like" and "you know" that cripple the interview.  Sad that 3 people died in a severe miscalculation of the mountain's potential.  Even worse that they had no evidence of learning to communicate without  using filler words.

Comments on the Internet have ranged from sadness, and ridicule.
