pass, it was probably 35, 40 mile-an-hour wind. just howling around you. screaming. but oh, the sights. like a herd of elk, 200 of them. i was standing up there, looking through my binoculars, watching them elk in the bottom. and i looked at them for maybe two minutes. the sound of an airplane broke his concentration. it was a little plane, a cessna 172. it just kept getting louder and louder and louder. the first thing you thought was, why are they down that low? the second thought was alarm. that plane was surrounded by sheer mountain walls on all sides. so the plane is flying right into a trap. yup. flying right into a rock wall. they heard the plane throttle up, then watched it try to accelerate up and over the lowest peak. but soon as that plane cleared the top, the wind caught it and just jerked the right wing of that airplane straight up in the air and basically turned it straight around and sent it crashing to the ground.
