What an odd response. As you yourself say, "this is an unfair comment."
This is a case where dozens of human lives were snuffed out in an instant, and basically nobody ever figured out what happened. The story calls out clearly that there are friends and family still living who have lasting emotional scars. These guys donated their own time and money to investigate this incident, because they took a personal interest in learning more. Beyond that, the expedition itself was nothing to write home about -- it's not a summit of Everest, or even Kilmanjaro. Sure, I'm sure they got some enjoyment out of what they did, but is that wrong?
Finally, I don't see any sign that these guys are seeking your approval or praise for what they did, so I have a hard time understanding why you are so offended.
