BEIJING (Reuters) - A freak blizzard and sand storm killed 15
explorers in mountainous remote northwest China on Friday, the Xinhua
news agency said on Monday.

More than 70 explorers, hired by a company connected to oil giant
China National Petroleum Corp., were working in Haixi prefecture in
Qinghai province, bordering Tibet, when they were hit by a "heavy
snowstorm, rainstorm and sandstorm simultaneously," Xinhua said.
"Fifteen explorers were found dead and 13 others injured in the
snowstorm which was unlikely to happen once in a century," an unnamed
local official was quoted as saying.

Rescue and investigation efforts were continuing, Xinhua said.

Then again, you don't know much about anything at all, 'tard.

Now go grab a handfull of meds and get on out there and tote.

But hey, ask mommy if it's OK first.

starting to smell bad.

Then you should call 911 and have someone come over and take her out of the
basement you demented 'tard.

Take your meds.
