| Gravity claims two more lives at Taft Point in Yosemite National Park |
| 2018-10-26 |
| [USA Today] Two visitors have died in Yosemite National Park after falling from an overlook, the National Parks Service said in a statement Thursday. Park rangers were trying to recover the bodies of the man and woman who fell from Taft Point, a popular overlook at an elevation of 7,500 feet, as of 2 p.m. ET. The deaths are being investigated, but no other information is available yet, including the identities of the visitors, the statement said. Yosemite is located in California's Sierra Nevada mountains. This is not the first time this year visitors have faced danger in Yosemite. Tomer Frankfurter, an Israeli teenager, fell to his death from Nevada Fall last month. Two hikers died in June while climbing El Capitan, and another died while climbing Half Dome in May. |

| #6 Yeah, but that doesn't fit Steve's narrative, Frank. I was thinking these were two liberals that, because of their vantage point, could see the RED WAVE! |

| #4 Well known for its geysers, Yosemite is also famous for its falls. Screams black humor comment of the day. |
