In Zahlen
A flash flood disaster caused by soil softening after last year's fire and sudden rainfall in Grand Canyon National Park in the state of Arizona, USA, turned a tourist area into a death trap within minutes. The incident occurred on one of the park's most popular hiking trails. Heavy rains suddenly filled dry gullies, creating a powerful flash flood. Tourists were caught in the flood without a chance to escape.
Officials announced that 1 visitor lost their life and 14 people are missing as a result of the flood. Search and rescue teams are struggling with operations due to difficult terrain conditions and ongoing rainfall. The identities of the missing have not yet been officially released.
Experts state that the large forest fire that broke out in the region last year left the soil vulnerable to mud and debris flows. The lack of erosion control after the fire increased the risk of such flash floods. Park officials are urging visitors to heed weather warnings and stay in safe areas.
