Rock slide kills tourists, guides on Mt. Kilimanjaro	Message #12
As grateful as I am that my family climbed Kilimanjaro in the fall instead of now, my thoughts are with the families of the tourists killed on Mt. Kilimanjaro yesterday. Here is the news release: Rock slide kills tourists, guides on Mt. Kilimanjaro ARUSHA, TANZANIA (Jan 5, 2006) Rocks and boulders tumbled down Mount Kilimanjaro and crashed into a group of climbers sleeping in tents yesterday before their final ascent up Africa's highest mountain. Three tourists and an unknown number of Tanzanian guides were killed, officials said. A sudden change in weather at Kibo peak dislodged the rocks, Tanzania National Parks head Gerald Digurube said. Five other tourists were seriously injured, and were taken to Kilimanjaro Medical Center for treatment, Digurube said.
