I guess I'm not shocked that tourists are dying in the heat in Death Valley. After all, ill-prepared tourists end up dead in all sorts of wilderness situations. But this sentence really got my attention:
"The extreme heat in the valley has made rescuing visitors difficult. Heat causes air to thin and the park service says often helicopters cannot be deployed."
The systems that would normally rescue you when you get into trouble can no longer be relied on...
