= 2019 Everest Disaster =

The 2019 disaster on Mount Everest was caused, because of the the amount of people on the mountain. At the summit, there was even a line, where you had to wait to reach the summit.

Since modern technology, a lot of people climb 8000'ers (such as Mount Everest, Kanchenjunga and K2) with supplemental oxygen. Because of the waiting near the summit, the oxygen of some people ran out, causing a lot of deaths.

The line was caused because of 2 factors: 1. There were tons of people trying to climb the mountain in 2019. 802 of them summited. 2. The was only a 3 day weather gap to reach the summit, may 22nd, 23rd, 24th, which ment that all of them had to summit within a 3 day gap.

13 people ended up losing there lives on Everest in 2019, 12 of them died during/around the weather gap.
