Jiankou "6.13" Tragedy

On June 13, a young couple were struck by lightning and fell off the cliff while cimbing the famous "Ying Fei Dao Yang" (Eagles Flies Facing Upward) in Jiankou Great Wall. They were found dead on the hillside at the foot of a 60-meter deep cliff in the "right wing" of "Ying Fei Dao Yang". It is learned that the couple were using cell phone when it thundered over the wall. The lightning shocked them from the cliff.

Jiankou Great Wall, due to its wildness, attracts more and more visitors to challenge it. But it is not yet formally open to the public. The relevant department keeps reminding visitors its danger, but still, many visitors do not care about it. From this tragedy, we can learn that it is better not climb the wild sections of the wall and DO NOT make phone calls or use any other communication equipment on the wall in rains, thurder and lightning. Be remember that the safety always comes first at any time!
