Everest

Meteorologist and travel journalist Jennifer Broome hiked a 90-mile pilgrimage to Everest Base Camp.

Mountaineer and filmmaker David Breashears discusses new film "Everest," which tells of a 1996 tragedy on the mountain.

During filming, the crew shoveled salt in front of 100 mph fans to look like a snowstorm. "We were getting the great exfoliation of our lives," Brolin says. "And it was just horrible."

Tech and telecom companies stepped up with much needed services. Facebook and Google offered tools to help those in the region let family and friends know they're OK. Other firms cut calling costs.
