> When the Twiggs brothers got to the Grand Canyon, on May 12th, Willard  
> called his girlfriend, a married woman in Louisiana, on Travis’s cell  
> phone. She had to see the canyon someday, he said. “It will make the  
> hair on your arms stand up. It’s that beautiful.” A few minutes later,  
> driving east along the South Rim past a spot called Twin  Overlooks,  
> Travis made a hard left and drove his car, a Toyota Corolla with  
> Virginia plates, straight toward the edge of the canyon. There is no  
> guardrail at Twin Overlooks, and the canyon at that point is nearly  
> five thousand feet deep. The Corolla jumped the curb, but it did not  
> take the plunge. It got hung up in a small fir tree, clinging to the  
> Kaibab limestone just below the rim.
