"Six Mile Creek" Class-V rafting accident after trooper warning

[Sourdough]

If someone can bring up the story in the: Anchorage Daily News today, about Six Mile Creek rafting crash.

At least they admit they screwed up, and should have listened to the State Trooper & Rafting Professionals. It is interesting how they talk about the herd mentality, and they allowed the groups enthusiasm over rule their judgment.

Good article, and photos.

Man, it's fortunate he didn't choose the name SourTastingDough. Those initials would be bad.

They're lucky no one else was hurt while trying to rescue them.
