CBS LA should be embarrassed by this story. First the two incidents (if you could call the Angels Landing footage an incident) have nothing to do with each other. Using the tragedy in Keyhole as part of this story is incredibly disrespectful to the seven that died. This guy is clueless. Racing down a slippery paved path to get to low ground during a possible flash flood is idiotic at best. There was nothing harrowing going on. The upper part of the Angels Landing trail won't flash and all you have to do is find a spot out of the flow and stay put. Take this DOWN!
Rick, X2. Take this down, CBS LA. A rank fabrication that completely disrespects reality while exploiting the Keyhole victims for sensation. Utterly disgusting.
Are you kidding me?!? They actually "Cut n' Pasted" multiple stories, interchanging Photos of the real victims .... with Video of this incompetent walnut running down a slippery mountain?!? That's even low for this joke of a news station. Brutally Disrespectful.
Watching this footage is super confusing. Why is he running down hill during a potential flash flood? Why is he telling people to run down hill? Those hikers huddling against the wall seemed like they knew more than the dumb, panicky guy.
I think that area going down was better as it opened up. they were closer to that safe haven then going up. If i remember correctly those switch backs become one massive water fall.
Yeah that guy had no clue. Looked like the trail up to Scout Lookout which has no chance of flooding. If it did, hundreds of people would die including anyone at the Zion Lodge.
This guy running down the path doesn't have a clue. Neither does the news team. The Utah locals would watch this and laugh. He is in more danger running down a wet hill.
Steve is correct. Running down into the canyon is actually what causes people to die. In canyon survival class they teach you to climb up and if possible out of a canyon. The people that died were caught at the bottom of the canyon, not up on the trail where these people were located.
I thought the whole footage was weird, looking through the comments makes a lot of sense now. Thanks to the people that actually know what they are talking about. Gotta hate shitty news reporting.
Good Lord! The site of this video is the path to Angel's Landing and THOSE people on the path were NOT in danger of being swept away. The site where the hikers were caught by the flash flood was up in the narrows of the canyon in the Virgin River several miles away. THESE folks in THIS video were NOT in the Virgin River but rather on a CONCRETE path far above the river with PLENTY of places to avoid a flash flood. The hikers who were killed had no place to avoid the flood in the narrows where the water flow went from fifty cubic feet per second to several thousand cubic feet per second. Completely misleading.
I've been there, on that trail, in heavy rains when the river down below was close to flood. It was probably one of the coolest hikes I've done! Waterfalls everywhere! You could tell the trail was designed for heavy rain.
As other commenters have pointed out, the newscaster commentary is misleading. These hikers were not at risk for the same kind of exposure as the 7 hikers who died in Keyhole Canyon though the newscaster makes it sound like they were in the same place. Keyhole is an enclosed, narrow slot canyon with several places that offer no escape from a torrent of rushing water and debris from above and behind. To the contrary, the hikers in this video were on a trail on a hillside, the last leg of the hike down from Refrigerator Canyon, below Angel's Landing, by the looks of it - with a paved, well-maintained walk-way they could run down. They are not in a "gorge". There is definite danger from falling\sliding water, rocks and debris from the hill above, and they were right to get down as speedily as possible, but it really doesn't compare to what the 7 hikers who lost their lives faced. And it's "zi-un", not "zi-ON".
Ridiculous comparison between this hiker and those who died in the slot canyon. We hike up this trail in the rain just so that we can see the amazing waterfalls. No danger of flash flooding in that area. The panicked hiker who took the GoPro probably didn't know that and not faulting him, but whoever put this story together could have done a little more homework to know that the keyhole slot canyon was much a much different situation than what this hiker was facing. Apples and oranges.
Such a sad tragedy. Just to clarify, this video shows the storm that hit Zion; not the canyon where the hikers sadly passed away. This video looks like they were on the Angel's landing trail, not in Keyhole; where the 7 were swept away.
Yeah, they totally made it sound as if this guy escaped the same thing that killed the group of people. Fact is, the guy they interviewed was never in any danger whatsoever.
Last year during a flash flood several boulders fell and annihilated the trail where he was at. That section of the trail is called refrigerator canyon. Would be a pretty bad place to be.
@@Joe-lc7ce The news story wasn't about falling boulders, but the risk off being in a flash flood and washed away or worse drown. My comment is made on the possibility of him or anyone else that was using the trail that day being in an danger of what I explained. If the man was yelling "look out for the boulders becoming loose due to the water erosion and falling down and possible killing you". Checkmate.
I think that area going down was better as it opened up. they were closer to that safe haven then going up. If i remember correctly those switch backs become one massive water fall.
Hurry everybody the mountainside is gonna flood!! Let’s get to lower ground in the creek bottom...Surprising this guy actually got other people to believe they were in danger and follow him
Please stop using the picture of the 7 hikers in the link for this video. This video is not taken in the same area and the picture gives the impression it is the groups go pro footage.
My gosh this is so stupid. This guy and the canyoneering group are completely unrelated. Anyone in a slot canyon could be in trouble on a day like this. This guy was in no danger as it will not flash flood there, but even if it did, you can see in the video there’s plenty of high ground. He could have just stepped off the trail. Perfect example of news media sensationalizing nothing.
@@jean-louisdorget170 I think that area going down was better as it opened up. they were closer to that safe haven then going up. If i remember correctly those switch backs become one massive water fall.
That "INSTINCT" you had is called pannic lol. In front of the whole world, on TH-cam, forever. Im 32 myself, and if this generations "instinct" is to run downhill to avoid a flood... were all doomed.
This guy was on Angels landing. The hikers that died were in the narrows. I would have continued to climb or find a secure spot to wait it out. Following that guy would be the worst thing to do.
I didn’t understand the running to the bottom at all! I would think that would be the most flooded. But IDK, as I’ve never been there, and he did in fact survive. I live in the northern east coast and one would definitely want to seek higher ground here.
This is confusing. I'm no expert in any sense, and have only watched a few clips of flash flood, but why did he keep saying and actually doing what he's saying, "we need to GO DOWN, it's going to flood"? I'm confused. If there's a flash flood coming, why then run down to it? This is confusing.
I'm no expert either, but agreed. It's common sense. Down low is NOT where you want to be in any sort of flood. Maybe he thought it was going to be like a waterfall and sweep him off.
He was in a completely different section of the park than the group of seven. They should of just stayed put while the storm pass overhead. Maybe away from the center incase of rockfall.
@@rebeccahicks2392 He was so wrong, & putting himself into greater risk by running through the rushing water falls....they say never to drive through torrents of flooding water, but this fool runs through them....he was lucky he or his GF didn't get swept over the cliff while doing that. And yes, common sense says get to higher elevations not lower...
Probably the biggest danger they faced was slipping and falling while running on the paved trail. I agree with the others that this is clearly the lower part of Angel's Landing.
The hikers killed were in a deep narrow canyon. But the hikers would have been fine if they had stayed put on that trail from Angels Landing. The water falls shed the water from the rain away from the other sandstone area's. There is plenty of places to get cover on that trail. They were just inexperienced day hikers caught in a rainstorm.
Wait wait wait, this dude thought that Angels Landing was going to flood?!? Is this a joke?! I just did that hike 4 days ago and he’d been safe even if Noah’s flood hit!
go look up "Keyhole Canyon Flash Flooding Conditions" to see what the 7 hikers were dealing with. it was a completely different area and situation. this guy racing DOWN the hill, towards the river, because it's raining...is Patrick Star Nailing a 2x4 to His Own Head level dumb.
This is the trail to Angels Landing. This is NOT AT ALL LIKE BEING IN A SLOT CANYON and THIS IS NOT KEYHOLE Canyon. BIG DIFFERANCE. Not sure why he was so scared. Start Storm chasing and learn how weather works like when do Thunderstorms start building etc. Next time get on the trail before Sun up not at 12:30 in the afternoon like the lost 7.
Well, I spose the simple answer is you're about 400-500 foot above the river where this video shows. Yeah...quality reporting and posting misleading if they died in the narrows ...on or in the river.
The dude who took the video was on the trail that goes to angels landing. It's quite literally paved, and as long as you're below Walter's wiggles (which he was), you have little chance of getting hurt even if it's raining. Heck, there's ZERO chance of flooding where that guy was, hence why you saw nobody else freaking out. I've hiked that slot canyon before. If there's flash flooding, there's a high probability of not making it out alive. I understand that the use of the video was to show how the storm would put the slot canyon hikers in danger. However, they gave that dude the attention, which was just wrong.
This is the biggest BS video. This guy is on Angel's Landing, it's not a slot canyon. He was in no real danger, him running down was dangerous. Those who were killed were in slot canyons. This video should be taken down.
I dont see what they are running from in the video. The hikers appear to be on high ground yelling about the area flooding? and then continuing to run downhill into the canyon.
the hikers were in no danger. the trail that they were on had no major drainage's were the water could gather. the 7 canyoneers that went down Keyhole Canyon in eastern Zion were in a slot.
Yep, when I worked in Springdale in 2020, I got caught in a flash flood storm in the summer on The Watchman Trail. I hunkered down under an overhang while lightning flashed overhead and thunder boomed….the rain was intense. Boulders slid down the slopes and I stayed put. Tourists were trying to run down to their cars 1.5 miles away and not apply common sense. They would not listen to me when I yelled at them to join me in a safe spot. 😮
You are supposed to climb and stay out of the flooded and or flooding low lying areas ..... this guy was the epitome of a panicked person that isnt thinking clearly and not in their wise mindset....he was in his emotional mind and could have died or led the other people that panicked to death as well. Lesson learned
Interesting Lee enough there's Doppler radar everyone knew that there was a chance of that storm coming but they took that chance and wanted to be in that storm possibly.
There's always a warning.. just look at the weather forecast, there's your warning... 30% chance of rain, you're good.. 40%, meh, plan to hike on another day..
Why the F would you go DOWN. I have been in weather like that and I always headed for the high ground, taught my kids the same. Even in the desert miles from the rain event you can hear the water coming down the wash before you see it and have time to get to safety.
Yeah, these guys are in literally no danger of getting hit with a flash flood. I've hiked that trail a thousand times and they're probably 200 feet above the valley. There are small waterfalls on the path but that's it. As others have said, he's in much more danger running down the wet trail.
I am from the city and even I find it funny. These hipsters pretending to be specialists running around like hysterics because it’s just... raining. Come on!
If anybody knows that area! If there are any signs of clouds or if it is cloudy. You do not hike! Stupid They were very lucky that they didn’t die! If there is a flash flood like that you do not run down the mountain nor do you go to the bottom because that’s where the water is going to be! They were safer where they were!
So the guy that took the picture is the only survivor? Also when did you said to yourself to run down the hill as you might know water water is raising in a flash flood I think that picture is wrong too but I wasnt there😒
You are right bout the picture being wrong. He wasn't near where the people died. Totally different trail. He was hiking down from Angels Landing; the people who tragically died were caught in a canyon in a flash flood. The news report was COMPLETELY wrong, surprise, surprise.

You read my mind. They weren't in some narrow gorge facing imminent death. They created a panic where one wasn't necessary.
You'd think Angelenos would be used to flash floods and landslides.
Are you kidding me?!?

yeah well he was the survivor and the one's who didn't run weren't. More dangerous or not, he took a risk because he knew the alternative was riskier.

I live in Kentucky and when the water in the river floods--we go UP the hill. Should have holed up and waited out the rain.
31inarow That's because the fine folks in Kentucky have brains & common sense.
i’ve gone on this hike before and it’s no joke, to RUN it is actually insane
Seek LOWER ground during a flood????
Stay put! Let it pass, don’t engage danger spots…
If I'm running for my life I'm not stopping to pull my phone out. But leaving that other group behind is something they will never forget.
At that point you almost need to go up.
Wouldn’t you want to go up?
If there's gonna be a flood, seek higher ground, not lower ground.
This is confusing, why run DOWN the trail when the water's coming down hard and a flash flood is happening? I must have missed something.
Totally misleading newscast, Angels landing would never flash flood like that, maybe you should consult an expert before saying something like that
On the side of a mountain worried about flood waters. Ummm. Find a dry spot stay out of the rapids

Not that hard to hike with clear skies. Check your forecasts. Stop hiking when it's going to rain. Respect nature.

How can there be flash floods at a point where the rain hits the highest ground.

Sounds like a smart move. I did Watchman at sunrise November 15. Gorgeous. I had no idea you could have a flash flood on Watchman.
Wouldn't it make sense to just go up not down? Or just pick a good spot and wait? This doesn't make sense
Looks to me like the hikers who passed were geared up to hike the River, while the GoPro dude was on the Angel's Landing trail. Elevated.
Didnt check forecast?

If anybody knows that area! If there are any signs of clouds or if it is cloudy. You do not hike! Stupid They were very lucky that they didn’t die! If there is a flash flood like that you do not run down the mountain nor do you go to the bottom because that’s where the water is going to be! They were safer where they were!
So the guy that took the picture is the only survivor?
Also when did you said to yourself to run down the hill as you might know water water is raising in a flash flood
I think that picture is wrong too but I wasnt there😒
You are right bout the picture being wrong. He wasn't near where the people died. Totally different trail. He was hiking down from Angels Landing; the people who tragically died were caught in a canyon in a flash flood. The news report was COMPLETELY wrong, surprise, surprise.
