I see the barking canine before story is loaded. If I want to know, I'll wait for a news source.

NBC is your News Source, and...

Google is your friend... [emoticon]

Use any part of this title:
2PM Sat. at Bedrock Rapid, Colorado River. One dead, multiple injured at GCNP

-or- just Google - "Boating accident Grand Canyon National Park".

Hope that helps.... [emoticon]

Just because it happened in a National Park and got into a news source I read. Some drunk flipping his boat and killing passengers does not rate notice. I recall seeing something like 90% of boating fatalities occur to drunks. Rather close to the snake bite injuries so I heard an ER nurse claim.

Yep, why? So far there have been 5 deaths in the Grand Canyon this year. It is the most dangerous National Park.
