Boy survives 100ft Grand Canyon fall after dodging tourist photo

A 13-year-old boy has survived after slipping and falling nearly 100ft (30m) at the Grand Canyon in the US state of Arizona. It took rescue crews two hours to pull Wyatt Kauffman to safety on Tuesday after falling off a ledge at the popular tourist site's North Rim. He was flown to hospital with serious injuries but has since been discharged. Wyatt told a local television station he had fallen while moving out of the way so people could take pictures. He said he had been squatting down and holding onto a rock with one hand when he lost his grip and started to fall back.
