Rock Slab Hits Lake Powell Boat; 1 dead, 1 missing
Monday , October 01, 2007
PAGE, Ariz.
One person's dead and a second's missing after a gigantic rock slab apparently broke off a sandstone arch at Lake Powell and smashed onto a boat.
The National Park Service said the slab, approximately 250 square feet in size, fell onto the bow of the boat, capsizing it.
Other boaters discovered the accident Friday, saying they had passed the craft 20 minutes earlier in Lake Canyon and had waved to the two people on board.
Rangers recovered the body of a woman.
Divers were called to the site, where water depths are approximately 150 feet, to find the second victim.
Names of the victims weren't immediately available.

Geez, talk about wrong place at the wrong time. Very sad new.
That sucks to hear that people were killed.
Very sad indeed, we were just there recently and thinking it would be cool to see the erosion in person. reading that story makes you rethink that. At least they died doing something they enjoyed RIP
A lot of people I know boat in that area of the lake... I've got my fingers crossed it's not one of them or their family...
Another one! holly cow!

Is this the same arch that I always see the pics of?
Very sad. I know we have been anchored in "caves" at Lake Powell before, ie. Cathedral in the Desert in Escalante, and said it would really be awfull if a large portion of the ceiling gave way.
Prayers to the Families.
