We're sorry. The Salt Lake Tribune's web site, sltrib.com, is unavailable in the European Union. We are working with lawyers on compliance with the European Union's General Data Protection Requirements, and we expect to sltrib.com to be available once that is done. Thank you for your patience.
Itll probably never get opened to the EU. Small media outlets are shoestring budgets already. No money to hire an EU lawyer, pay an EU auditing firm, and maintain everything required to be in...

I closed a masto instance to EU IPs for the same reason. I couldn't afford to be compliant, as it was a zero dollar budget I was paying for out of pocket.
I had heard about this back when it originally happened, and have heard the story mentioned as a cautionary tale a few times since then by some of the caver YouTubers I watch... but I have never...
I had heard about this back when it originally happened, and have heard the story mentioned as a cautionary tale a few times since then by some of the caver YouTubers I watch... but I have never actually read the gory details before now.
Caves and cavers fascinate me, but I could never, ever, go into one that confined myself. Even watching caving videos on YouTube often makes my heart race and mouth dry up. So I can't imagine what John must have been feeling the moment he realized he was stuck.
What a remarkably heartbreaking story, and total nightmare of a situation (for everyone involved). :(

Does anyone happen to know what the update was? Unless I missed it while reading through the story, there doesn't appear to be anything obviously new added 9 years later.
The earliest Archive.org has, it didn't have the "Part 2 here" bit yet. Although that was added some time in 2018 I believe, and there appear to be no changes to the content of the article. Maybe...

I was aware of this story, but I still read both parts. Harrowing, to say the least. An aside, but did anyone else notice how the writer kinda leaned on the Mormon faith? Especially near the end,...

An aside, but did anyone else notice how the writer kinda leaned on the Mormon faith? Especially near the end, describing how Emily found her faith again. I suppose it isn't too surprising considering the newspaper it's in, but is it that usual for human interest stories to pander to their audience? as I typed that, I realized the answer is obvious
Probably because it's a pretty detailed story involving a rather unpleasant death, but that isn't entirely clear from the title alone, and so a warning about that being the case is often...
Probably because it's a pretty detailed story involving a rather unpleasant death, but that isn't entirely clear from the title alone, and so a warning about that being the case is often appreciated by people. However, trigger.death would probably be a more accurate/appropriate tag IMO, so I have changed it to that.
Edit: Actually, given that trigger is not custom styled like NSFW is, and isn't included in the "important" tags still visible to everyone... perhaps I should leave the NSFW tag as is? (@Deimos)
Yeah, honestly, I have no idea what to tag this, like @cfabbro said I considered trigger which is probably more appropriate, but wasn't sure if that threw a promoted tag alert like nsfw so just...

Well then.

Why is this marked NSFW?
