K2 tragedy revisited: new footage questions the climbers’ choices

A newly released Savage Mountain documentary shows Kristin Harila’s team on K2 discovering mountain porter Muhammad Hassan hanging upside down after a rope mishap; they struggle to save him, secure a new rope, and Hassan later dies, with an avalanche striking hours later. The footage sparked death threats against Harila after viewers accused her team of walking past him, though she and a cameraman say they did everything possible to help.
