To: Mr. Brightside

I read this earlier. Very sad. It's beyond me why she would cross the retainer wall.

Because people..

are stupid.

There was a teenager in Hawaii who stepped over the fence to get a "closer" look at the blowhole..

Too many people who don't realize physics is sometimes NOT your friend.

I've seen this behavior with a friend of mine at the Grand Canyon. Some people just get too excited and put themselves in needless danger (he just HAD to look over the edge of a precipice even though the footing of the ground of was very unstable. Nothing happened thank God). They just get too excited. Maybe they didn't grow up close enough to Nature to know better. I don't know.

She stepped over the retaining wall...as many others do...in order to obtain a better angle for a photograph. Pretty sad.

She's 52. She came of age during the sixties.

The railing was put up there by "the man" and it's instinct to go against perceived authority. Never mind the reason.

Laws don't, um, didn't apply to her: the Government's, God's, Newton's...
