Discovery replaces Everest jump

Discovery Channel is to use the footage it had filmed ahead of its recently aborted Everest Jump Live event to create a documentary about the avalanche that forced its cancellation.

Wing suit jumper Joby Ogwyn was due to jump from the summit Mount Everest live on Discovery Channel in May. However, the event was pulled earlier this week following an avalanche on the mountain that killed 13 people.

The producer, Peacock Productions, was also working on a series of Live From Basecamp shows that would have aired in the five days leading up to the jump.

Discovery will instead use footage filmed by Peacock in preparation for the event as part of a documentary based on the deadly avalanche that occurred last Friday.
