Government agencies pick up tab in climber search
POSTED: 7:28 a.m. EST, December 19, 2006
HOOD RIVER, Oregon (AP) -- As rescue efforts continue on Mount Hood, so do the costs.
The Hood River County sheriff's office, one of the main agencies spearheading the search for the three climbers, estimates it spent roughly $5,000 a day for the first three days and about $6,500 a day after that.
But that's only part of what will be become the final price tag, in part because much of it is being done by volunteers and the military, which in the past has tagged such missions as training.
"There is no way of answering these things," said Georges Kleinbaum, state search and rescue coordinator for Oregon. "Obviously there is a lot of money being expended, but there is never a bill to look at."
Kleinbaum did say that Black Hawk helicopters are estimated to cost $2,800 an hour to operate. At least two Black Hawks and a Nevada Air National Guard C-130 transport have been repeatedly used in the search.
Maj. James Wilson, spokesman for the Air Force Reserve speaking on behalf of the military effort, said the costs for the joint military have not been calculated.
The search for climbers Kelly James, 48, of Dallas; Brian Hall, 37, of Dallas; and Jerry "Nikko" Cooke, 36, of New York, started December 11. On Monday, James' body was found.
Oregon law does not require victims to pay for rescue efforts unless they were negligent and failed to take basic steps to keep themselves safe, Kleinbaum said. And in those cases, costs are limited to $500 per person. Other costs are absorbed by the state and local agencies involved.

The answers to my question are much clearer now.
几个人冬训爬小五台（在河北），碰上大风雪，迷路加上体力不支（记得里面有个叫青青的女孩还在生理期），只带了2天的给养，结果第五天才挣扎下来。
因为他们出发前在论坛发了帖子，我们等到第三天就觉得不对，但是这一组人都是老手，我们决定等一天看看，所以第四天才组救援队，第五天才人员物资到位，正在往山里冲，临时联络站打电话来说人下来了，打过电话，正在山下的村里休息。
这次救援行动整个就是雨后送伞，决策，行动都慢的要命，要是真出事，三天的时间，人都凉了。
这个小组真是命好。下大风雪的时候找到了一个废弃的石屋，虽然没有房顶，但是加上帐篷，基本可以御寒。又都是老手，当时就决定一天只吃一顿，直到第三天放晴。因为来路是峭壁，只能往前。当时大雪封山，找不到路，结果有人从山上滑下，发现了标志，找到了路。到了第五天，给养全部用尽，而且体力不支，经过五分钟的讨论，全组扔掉帐篷，睡袋以及全部宿营用品，轻装前进，生死就看这一下了。结果下午四点找到了一个小村。
事后绿野也加强了安全教育（毕竟在这之前没死过人），这个小组的成员也各自写了很精彩的作业放在论坛。其中我印象很深的是决定丢弃宿营用品时，青青问队长，能不能活着下山，队长很诚恳地回答：“不知道”
真是令人鼓舞的回答！
咱们在西南地区的陆航有一部分用的是美国的黑鹰，因为只有黑鹰能上青藏高原，89以前关系好的时候进口的，想再进的时候赶上89，美国人就制裁咱们。以后该型机的配件等等都是偷偷摸摸从第三国或者通过第三方从美国买进，美国人也知道，但是因为该机大量用于高原和雪山救灾，美方也就睁一只眼闭一只眼的默许了。以前曾经用黑鹰救助过在西藏的美国旅游者，很可能这次也是黑鹰。毕竟只有黑鹰才能在那么恶劣的情况下使用。
当然这和成本无关了。
