AMC does analysis of accidents and rescues in Whites in their quarterly Appalachia Journal https://www.outdoors.org/trip-ideas-...ces/appalachia. (Note this is not the same as the AMC Outdoors magazine they send out to members)


yeah....

i went back and looked and made post #135




They discuss what went right and what went wrong and try to add "lessons learned" as appropriate to future training scenarios. These are generally not public record.


that is true-------and for some things that are public record, things get redacted out as well....

that was the case with the bear death in the smokies back in 2000----the report was released by the Park, but lots of stuff was redacted...

they also did not release the photos the lady took before she was attacked.........(she was out dayhiking and taking photos and presumably taking photos of the
bears as they were coming up to her).....




The family was unable to get closure and for years would pop up trying to force the case to be reopened as they could not accept that it was not foul play despite no evidence to the contrary.


yeah...

we---the media----get this a lot with families calling us demanding that there was a coverup or a conspiracy or something like that with a crime or incident that happened
to their loved one.......
