First drought and now this?

“ Ishrat Binta Azim doesn’t sound like a local .... just saying ... ”

And how is that relevant to someone tragically losing their life?

[NorthMountain]

Yes.

I dare assume its gender.

If it doesn’t like that, it’s welcome to jump off a cliff.

...

[NohSpinZone]

Both should be abolished from the English language.

Agreed! Your sentiment was lampooned perfectly in an episode of Seinfeld.

[Shannon]

I get the allure but you better know what you're doing up there.

If not, Darwin awaits.

[cyclotic]

You win!

As teens some of us were walking across this & my brother slipped & fell. Landed in the pool immediately below. Looking down we saw blood in the water. He'd cut his head pretty good. Loaded him in a car for the hospital were they said he had a mild concussion. Good thing he had a hard head.
We'd traversed this thing many times in the past.

Yup. When you are out in the wild, a mistake in judgment or some silly, stupid stunt can cost you greatly. Seen it happen. Saw the results. Even in the military, the same thing exists. The terrain is sometimes very unforgiving and very devastating in results.

This has to be at least the forth death by falling into a waterfall I have read this year. What’s going on?

I forget the name of the Tucson-area waterfall, but many years ago I rented an apartment in Tucson from a woman who had survived falling down it when she was 18 or so.

IF Ishrat Binta Azim had been obediently been walking six feet behind her husband, father or elder brother things like this would not happen.

Moss around those streams is slippier than owl shit.

That’s Hindus.

Ishrat Binta Azim

[Abathar]

Her phone probably pinged and she just HAD to know who liked her last selfie post...

[ArtDodger]

There was a young fellow named Hall, Who fell in the spring in the fall; ‘Twould have been a sad thing If he’d died in the spring. But he didn’t — he died in the fall.

[woodbutcher1963]

IF she had been wearing her Burka and not showing her ankles in public Allah would not have struck her down as a Blasphemer

Better yet, stayed in the car as she was told.

When borders and any sort of immigration control are non-existent, everyone is a “local”.
