Who: Three avid hikers and climbers
Where: Buchaille Etive Mhor, Scotland
Their mistake: Bad luck, unfortunately
What happened: Nine hikers were climbing the mountain when an avalanche hit the group. Three hikers were killed, one injured their shoulder and five others were able to walk away from the ordeal unscathed.
Another hiker who witnessed the events unfold from above the avalanche, immediately called authorities who launched a search and rescue even though the area was hit by a blizzard.
Authorities said that all people on the mountain are accounted for and there are no more reports of missing people.
The area was hit by heavy snow for two days before the avalanche. The warnings in the area said there was a “considerable” chance for an avy.
