Answer to Question 1

Safety was supposed to be the top concern. But the desire to gain favorable
publicity clouded expedition members' judgment.

Answer to Question 2

She did the worst thing possible: She said nothing when she returned and left it up
to others to define her role in the tragedy. Although Pittman bears some
responsibility for what happened, she is far from being alone in that regard. In
fact, she has probably been vilified much more than she deserves. If Pittman had
spoken about her side of the story, expressing remorse that her actions may have
indirectly led to the disaster on the mountain, the public perception of her would
probably have been more sympathetic
