Hi everyone...

Just saw the article below on the local news portal here.
I think the location where it happened is in the southern state of Johor and very close to Endau Rompin National Park. The park itself is huge and its been reported to be home to several individuals of tigers and quite a number of elephants.
Luckily 4 of them got out ok. '
Below is the link to the news:

Jungle always sounds inviting but all sort of things can go wrong.

Sounds like it was a medical emergency with one guy dying of a heart attack that caused the problem...

Thanks for posting. It is a little bit of an unusual story. When I was reading the headline I was surprised to see the number 20 refer to hours rather than days.

I was even more surprised that the fatality was due to a heart attack. A combination of heat, humidity, excersise and fear was maybe too much for the poor fellow.

I think RM is quite right to reapeatedly tell us to pace ourselves and remain calm in an emergency.

Hi...it is hard to find out the details of this incident here. As in the link, not much information was given.

Since the group consists of individuals from all over, was wondering anyone has heard of the news elsewhere. Would like to know more what happened (and from a different source) and am sure there's something to learn here.

Cheers,
