At approximately 2:30 p.m. a loud roar was followed by a shower of rocks and woody debris. Within seconds many were buried. In the six hour rescue attempt that followed, led by seven people who had been in the rock slide (including a Doctor and representativs from the US Marine Corps, Army, Navy and Air Force, who all happened to be hiking that day) but continued to work in the danger zone, eight people lost their lives, two within the first few minutes, the remaining six eventually died as the rescue attempt continued. 50 more were injured in various forms, some with traumatic amputations and/or open brain-case injuries.
