Quote
A model and actor who caught fire after climbing atop a Manhattan-bound Metro North train has died from his injuries, his agent told The Post on Monday.

Quote
Video taken at the Stamford rail station shows an apparently intoxicated McClellen climbing on top of the New Haven line train shortly before 5:10 a.m. Sunday in Riverside, Conn., a source said.

Investigators believe the victim, who lived near Union Square, was burned after coming in contact with the train’s pantograph, a metal arm that collects power from the 12,500 volts in overheard wires.

Workers found McClellen after going to investigate why power was cut to the train.

The crew used an extinguisher to put out the smoking man atop the sixth car.

McClellen was hospitalized with electrical burns, some third-degree, on more than 90 percent of his body.

Quote
In a post last year, he wrote: “I know I’m going to change the world. its only a matter of time.”

Dumbass.  I don't want to excrement on the grieving family, but wow.  The devil tries to mess with you while you're getting your life on the right track?  He shot himself in the face taking a selfie with a gun.  What part of that screams "on the right path"?

An Australian woman who set out to climb Mount Everest to prove that “vegans can do anything” died Saturday after developing altitude sickness. Maria Strydom, 34, had reached the final camp from the summit before she and her husband, Robert Gropel, both began suffering from high-altitude pulmonary edema, which caused fluid to build up in Strydom’s brain, the Washington Post reports. Her husband survived and was taken to a Nepal hospital for treatment, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. “Physically he’s OK, we think,” Heinz Gropel, Robert’s father, told the Australian. “Mentally he is a mess. He’s just lost his wife. These guys were not amateurs, they were experienced climbers.” Strydom had sought out to prove that she could scale the mountain while on a vegan diet, the Monash University lecturer told the university’s blog. “It seems that people have this warped idea of vegans being malnourished and weak,” Strydom said. “By climbing the seven summits we want to prove that vegans can do anything and more.”

I'm surprised they managed to get them down. Usually after a certain point while climbing it descending the summit, if you die or get really sick, they just leave you there.

Look at this poor guy who died nearly 20 years ago and is still there near the summit. He's actually used as a destination beacon, so you know to make a left when you get to green boots.

I can see being vegan if you are very sensitive to animal issues.  I still have a hard time being such a hypocrite in saving some animals, yet eating others.  If I could cook worth a crap, I'd be a vegan.  I did it for a year.  Probably the best I've felt since high school.  Once kids came around, it was really hard to do it and not eat the same excrement all the time.  I'm not that creative and I'm not into cooking.  I'm an omnivore out of sheer laziness.

I like a good steak, but I'd be fine if I never had one again.

It's a massive achievement, and a very exclusive one. Well, at least it used to be. I hear it's become real crowded up there, and climbers actually have to wait behind dozens of other climbers to get to the summit. It's also an awesome thing to be able to tell others that you did.

See, I wouldn't think that was impressive.

Someone who heads to Haiti post-earthquake to provide assistance rebuilding? Impressive. Guy that climbs big rocks, risks hypothermia, and brags about it? Not so much.

I can see it being less of an achievement today as opposed to, say, half-a-century ago because I'd assume the equipment is a lot better.

Climbing Everest is still one of the greatest feats in the world to me. I don't give a freak if you have a lot of money or get lucky and can do the trip, it's still something 99.999999999% of the world would never do. Also just because you get there doesn't mean you will get near the summit. Lots and lots of expeditions stop short of climbing the entire mountain. Actually, I always admired the Sherpa's, they're one tough group of people.

To be clear it's not something I would have the desire to do, even if I had the means to do it. Climbing the mountain holds no interest to me but that doesn't mean I can't admire the people that actually accomplish that.

That's why I don't get doing it. I wouldn't do it if I had billions in spending cash burning a hole in my pocket. So it holds no impressiveness to me.

I'm a to-each-his-own person. If it makes you happy, go for it. But it doesn't mean I think it's any smarter than jumping from a plane, which I don't get either.

I went skydiving before. It's definitely worth it. But you don't do anything, just fall and let the guy behind you with his chute do all the work. Climbing Mt Everest is a physical, emotional, and all around massive achievement. It also takes months. You can't just wing it.

Climbing Everest is just like any other significant physical achievement like doing an Ironman or winning a bodybuilding contest, all be it on a different scale of both difficulty and risk. It requires focus, discipline, commitment and immense amounts of training. If you've never done something like that, and there's no reason why you should if it's not something that interests you, then you won't get it, but that doesn't make it dumb. Someone for whom climbing Everest is a serious ambition could quite reasonably question the point of fighting digital dragons on a computer or sitting for hours with a bunch of people pretending to be elves and wizards through the medium of rolling dice.

I'm with Puck, I think that Everest is an incredible achievement. I'm not sure if I'd ever want to do it myself - my willingness to challenge myself physically probably doesn't go that far - but I respect the hell out of them for doing it. And there's no reason why being vegan should make any difference to their ability to achieve that aim.

It's also the pinnacle achievement for mountain climbers. It's not like someone wakes up one day saying they want to climb mount everest. The vast majority of them have climbed mountains before. It's popular because it's the tallest mountain, but it isn't even the toughest to climb. K2 has a higher death rate.

Tessica's already crowdfunding for her medical bills ... a GoFundMe has raised $9,000 and counting.
