Colin Scott and his sister, Sable, came Tuesday for the mesmerizing hot springs, a favorite sightseeing stop for millions of tourists each year at Yellowstone National Park, in Wyoming, where mineral deposits tint crystal-clear pools of steaming water brilliant shads of blue, green, orange, and yellow.
The siblings, from Oregon, were exploring the Norris Geyser Basin, officials said, the park's oldest and hottest thermal area, when they deviated from the boardwalk that hovers safely above ground and took their adventure off course. They walked 225 yards away from the boardwalk and into an isolated area, officials said, only a thin, feeble crust of earth separating their feet from the acidic water bubbling beneath.
Then, somehow, Colin Scott slipped, and as his sister watched, the 23-year-old tumbled into one of the boiling springs. Despite her immediate call for help and the prolonged search efforts by park staff, her brother was never seen again. His flip-flops, reported NBC News, were one of the few things rescuers retrieved.
They halted their recovery mission Wednesday, park spokeswoman Charissa Reid told the Associated Press, "due to the extreme nature and futility of it all." The water was highly acidic, Reid said, leaving "no remains left to recover."

Tragic but a bit funny. Why do people not respect nature? I'm guessing there are mass quantities of signage warning of the dangers in that area.

Sounds like natural selection has claimed another victim. It will never cease to amaze me how some people have no survival instincts at all.

Even if they don't try to sue, the park will likely still put more signage up not to deviate from the path, or they will now put railings everywhere.

Where's the source? Sounds like Walter White's private spring.

Most interesting part of this story is that the flip-flops were not broken down by the acid.

no only a few, the big geysers. most of the hot spirngs are just little pools of very hot acidic water ~10-15 feet in diameter that dont erupt at all. the "fences" they do have are just wood railings ~ 3 feet highOriginally Posted by Changedmalife

That water is over 200 degrees too. That really had to suck. Burning to death as you drown.
