Eldorado 38,935 #1 Posted May 3 (edited) "On Wednesday evening (May 1), a man plummeted into Hawaii's Kīlauea caldera — and survived. The man had climbed over a railing at the Steaming Bluff overlook to get closer to the edge of the cliff, which dropped down 300 feet (91 meters) into the caldera. At about 6:30 p.m. local time, he lost his footing and fell, according to a statement from the National Park Service."
