Ha! Hullo!

How many people died in any one expedition, or any one day, in the 1997 season?

In 1986 K2 claimed the lives of 13 climbers in nine different parties attempting
its summit over the entire climbing season. ...

By stark contrast, in the 1996 Everest disaster, eight people died on one day

I hope that clarifies things for you Jimbo, while you chomp on that big, tasty, humble pie(aka shit sandwich) ;)
