When the improbable becomes more possible.....

I love statistics. Go figure the chance of these three events happening.

First a gal goes from South America to climb Mt. Logan in the Yukon. While she is climbing there is an earthquake causing avalanches and mayhem. She is by herself and declares an emergency and asks for a rescue which she gets by helicopter.

Two. The Banff Jasper hiway #93 is closed due to avalanche control. The controlled avalanche ended up with more snow than anticipated.

Three. Hiway 16 is closed west of Jasper due to a rockslide.

I think sometimes A or B can happen but what about X?

The real question is:

What is worse, being stuck on the top of Mt. Logan or stuck in Edmonton?
