2nd Rockfall In Two Days At Yosemite’s El Capitan Injures One

One day after a rockfall killed a British tourist on El Capitan, another rattled Yosemite National Park’s famous rock climbing destination on Thursday, injuring one man.

Park officials identified the man as Jim Evans.
The tourist killed on Wednesday was identified as Andrew Foster of Wales. His wife was seriously injured, but her name has not been released by park authorities.
The injured woman was airlifted to a nearby hospital.
The couple were visiting the park from the United Kingdom and were there to rock climb, though they were not climbing at the time of the rockfall, the parks service said.
Thursday’s rockslide occurred at 3:21 p.m. in the same area as Wednesday’s fatal rockfall, said Scott Gediman, the public affairs officer for Yosemite National Park.
