I just its on the one hand we develop a thick skin after doing his work for many years people might say weve become emotionally numb but thats not so we see awful scary things and were not fazed by them but were never numb to the suffering that the family or the people who witnessed the event the wife who sees her husband fall or the child who sees its father having a heart attack and being green.

And was leaving it as fifty when youre flying cargo the altitude plays a huge role at three thousand meters you can carry two or three hundred kilograms less because youve got less power thats a problem as it will be if. The theory. Is if they could see if theres a limit every day to what you can and cant carry or do its extremely important to assess that and quickly you have to react yet not take risks but if you dont care a little you wont do it its a balance that you strike one hundred times a day when you decide what you will and wont do this to that child is too to much.

Mountain guide alvin she worked as the double for the Hollywood Star in the climbing scenes but when the Production Company called him his initial instinct was to turn the job down. This movie got to be honest i knew very little about the Film Industry and actors i know Terrence Hill from the great westerns i liked as a teenager and you know i said id be happy to be a mountain guide but id sent the my colleague for the job because his english is perfect and i couldnt do it with my poor english with a fake thank you mark of me through them and i thought he was american.

In getting a lot of this foam very quickly in the mountains if you have a long roll a cloud could have terrible consequences because you lose that visual connection back. To the pilot its one of those situations that tells him hes reached his limits.
