Mt. Everest tourists throw punches over the perfect selfie position
NY Post
This is peak stupidity.
Don’t call it a peace summit: Footage captured the ludicrous moment two tourist couples brawled with each other over a viewing spot near Mount Everest.
The kerfuffle reportedly occurred on June 25 after two groups of tourists, who were believed to be Chinese, simultaneously converged on the 8848 Viewing Platform, located in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, the Independent reported.
A tour guide had reportedly asked the parties to pose together for a photo beside the Everest Elevation Monument.
However, their photo-op went south after the couples began bickering over optimal viewing positions, which eventually escalated into said slugfest, Newsflare reported.
Footage shows the two men punching at each other as they roll around on the platform.
