Girl self-poaches in hot pool

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

This is the URL to the story at Billingsgazette.com:

http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2002/08/30/build/wyoming/13-thermal-pool-lawsuit.inc

The story focuses on one of the survivors, who is suing the US Government for failing to put warning signs (as in: "Hot pools are very hot"). One of his companions that night was burned to death when they all decided to jump into a hot pool at Yellowstone National Park.

Neutral: For Darwin's Eyes
Repeat, BUT: I just rated another version of this story, and found an article regarding this that claimed it was an acidenal fall into a hot spring- Which to believe?
