Wow !
Been there - I think the pressure from Old faithful shifted
Massive hole
These are the same people who want to rush bison and take photos - same with the Elk in Yellowstone.
They are walking in the caldera and like have to act surprised, I guess.
Its a beautiful place, but it is powerful looking up to the ridge to see how far down you are in the basins.
One of those videos - there is a female voice saying "Crooks - what are you doing…"
calls him out by name filming him on the roof.
Who is she?
I don't have it apparently

CLUSTERF*CK: During today's House Homeland Security Meeting, we learned that the local Butler police (ESU) spotted Crooks acting suspiciously around the building where he eventually climbed onto the roof, about an hour before the president was shot. The ESU took a photograph of Crooks and began sharing it in a text thread with fellow ESU members.
When they saw Crooks using a rangefinder, they became more alarmed and contacted a Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) officer at the Command Post. The PSP officer informed a Secret Service agent inside the Command Post about Crooks and showed them the picture. The agent then gave the PSP officer the phone number of one of the counter-snipers and asked them to send the picture of Crooks. This occurred about 25 minutes before Trump was shot, while Trump was not yet on stage.
Two local municipal police officers noticed Crooks on the roof, and one officer hoisted the other up to the roof's edge. Crooks pointed his AR-15 at the officer, causing him to drop back down to avoid getting shot. Trump was shot 2-3 minutes after this incident.
So we've got Butler Police having to call and text the Pennsylvania State Police about the shooter. Then we've got the Pennsylvania State Police officer explaining what he just heard from the Butler Police to the Secret Service, who then asked the Pennsylvania State Police to text the picture to another Secret Service agent. Finally, we've got two other police officers responding. No wonder they didn't stop Crooks—what a hot mess.
