Mount Everest stunt cancelled

A daredevil’s planned jump off the summit of Mount Everest in a wing suit next month has been cancelled in the wake of the avalanche that killed at least 13 people on Friday.

Jumper Joby Ogwyn was already at Everest in advance of the jump, which the Discovery Channel planned to televise live on May 11.

The network had hoped for big ratings, but a spokesperson says their thoughts and prayers are going out to the Sherpa community of guides who were the victims of the avalanche.

Officials say it is the single deadliest avalanche ever on the world’s highest mountain. Three people are still missing.
