Yellowstone official who took call of man in hot springs talks about incident

The body of the man who fell into a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park on Tuesday will not be recovered.
“Recovery efforts have been terminated in part because we have not been able to locate any remains, unfortunately,” Morgan Warthin, a spokeswoman for the park, told EastIdahoNews.com.
PREVIOUS STORY:
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. - Park officials have released the name of a man who fell into a hot spring at the Norris Geyser Basin.
Colin Nathaniel Scott, 23, of Portland, Oregon, was with his sister, Sable Scott, when the incident occurred on Tuesday about 225 yards off the boardwalk near Pork Chop Geyser.

    Falling into an acidic mud pot that is 12 feet deep, boiling at temperatures that are off the chart. Ingesting that substance as you sink down into it. I find it absolutely horrifying.

Then when a _real_ danger exists, we don't appreciate the danger because we've seen so many pointless and unnecessary warnings before.

Always amazes me how people feel they have super powers and they are immune to things , that being said, there are exceptions of people with special needs , that need supervision, and in that case they didn't drive there themselves right? So I assume it's a look how cool I am" or " I will be center of attention " or " I'll do what I damn well want" attitude. I mean you haven't stirred a boiling pot of hot water with your hand before have you? You use a toilet in a bathroom don't you? What makes this ok to do in your brain I wonder?

    "Super-heated" "Boiling if not hotter" - this tells us absolutely nothing about the temperature of the liquid. Some substances boil at below 0 Celcius while others boil at above 400 Celcius. Given it was not pure water it's just a guess as to what the actual temperature was - I guess the brightest don't join the police.

    Why do cops talk like robots? Just tell it like it is: a guy was being a dumbass and deliberately broke the rules. He found himself in hot water.
