Today’s Superheated Yet Truly Morbid Fact!<\/h3>\n

On September 13, 1949, little Karen Lee Anderson, four-and-a-half-years old, of Grand Coulee Dam, Washington, was visiting Black Sand Basin near Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park with her mother.\u00a0 At 11:30 a.m. she pulled away from her mother, ran to a hot spring near the creek, and fell into it.\u00a0 Karen sustained second- and third-degree burns over ninety percent of her body.\u00a0 She died very quickly.<\/p>\n

Karen Anderson was probably fortunate to succumb quickly.\u00a0 Danny Lewis of Austin, Minnesota, was not so lucky.\u00a0 The six-year-old boy was fishing with his father, William Lewis, on the Firehole River on June 13, 1958.\u00a0 His misstep happened at the large hot spring named Ojo Caliente (Spanish for hot springs) in Lower Geyser Basin.\u00a0 Danny P. Lewis fell into that superheated spring and then lived for two more days.\u00a0 He died on June 15 from third-degree burns over all of his body except his head and neck.\u00a0 Ojo Caliente is one of the Park’s hottest springs at 198-202\u00b0F.<\/p>\n

Overheard is the sign The Spot.\u00a0 On sidewalk is riddled body of David (The Beetle) Beadle, former Hell’s Kitchen tough. He was shot down early this morning at 46th and Tenth Ave. by two or three killers who escaped in cabs.<\/p>\n

I believe this is the same location today.\u00a0 It was nicer before, but wasn’t everything?
