and yet her brother was dying, and she thought it was necessary to film it?
what? I read it as she was filming as he was testing the temperature before he fell in
I don't think she just stood their and filmed it as he was dying

Nothing and I mean nothing can give a progressive a thorough soul cleansing like a hot pot bath in boiling acidic water. It really is the ultimate cleansing therapy.

NBC Montana reported that search and rescue rangers found the victim's body in the pool along with his wallet and flip flops, but were prevented from recovering the remains by a lightning storm. The following day, rescue workers could not find Scott's remains.
Maybe wear appropriate footwear next time.

If the water is acidic enough to dissolve a body in that short of a time frame i wonder how they would even go about recovery...

spent a week there and read this awesome book while I was there.
It is a GREAT read if you like stories like this. shite happens ALL THE TIME.
Bottom line is STAY ON THE PATH and 100 feet from ELK AND BISON and you will not die.
It is the wilderness not a fricking theme park.

There was an incident once where a man's dog jumped out of his vehicle and into one of the pools and began yelping... He went in after the animal and both he and the dog died from 4th degree burns.
The actual story is that the dog jumped in the geyser and the man tried to rescue him. He only received 3rd degree burns on lower legs. The dog's body was shot out of the geyser when it erupted several days later. The man died from his burns.

Playing God in Yellowstone: The Destruction of Yellowstone by Alton Chase
This is a very good book if you want to know the workings of the oldest national park.

I worked/lived in the park one summer in college. People die all the time. Mostly stupid stuff like this idiot in the OP or taking pictures with bison. Grizzly bears also kill some hikers that startle them, but that's usually more of a tough break deal.

I went there 20 years ago. There was record snow fall and the park had to be closed for a few days. When we finally got in, by tractor, it was beautiful. I just remember the guides (?) not letting us out of their eyesight. There were soaking spring feed ponds that we were able sit in. We were told not to get any where near those acid pools.

It's like another poster said, people think of these things as theme park/petting zoo hybrids. They are the opposite.

Old Faithful Inn, Prep cook. At the end of the second year there was an employee at the end of the season who dipped his foot in Old Faithful. He got second degree burns. His Converse tennis shoe got stuck to his foot. Since he just processed out of TW ( the concessionaire), he couldn't get any medical help. He was going home the next day anyway.

I bussed tables at Canyon. I never heard of any employees getting hurt, but there were a lot of incidents in general.
One fisherman died in the Yellowstone River before it was open to wading. It was a huge snow year, so the melt kept the river closed longer than expected. He was only in the area for a few days I guess, so he went anyway. He predictably got caught in the current, washed downstream, and drowned.
