‘ How then could the tragedy have
been avoided? The only real answer to
that question is if no one was on the
Grind at the time of the slide.

Considering’ the popularity of the
trail, and its suburban accessibility,
that ‘solution i is impractical at best. In
fact, on the evening of the slitie the
police turned away a hiking group
that wanted to do the Grind.
Thursday saw more people hoping to
hike the trail.

One has to wonder about these
people. Their tack of understanding
of the danger’posed by the unstable
