It's not rocket science

First the good news, two Colorado School of Mines students were safely rescued from Mt. Zion last night after they became stranded on the mountain. I'm glad they're safe. The bad news, two Colorado School of Mines students were safely rescued from Mt. Zion last night after they became stranded on the mountain. Apparently, they were uninjured but became stuck after their flashlights died and they couldn't make it back down the mountain. Aren't you guys future engineers? Isn't this what you're supposed to do? Fashion a flashlight out of tree bark and power it with juneberries? OR build a parachute out of tree leaves and float to safety? Maybe, I'm picturing CSM a little too much like Gilligans Island (Big ups to my little buddy) but I worry about the future of our world when future engineers get stuck on mountains with dead batteries.
