Friend Identifies Second Victim of Rockfall in Banff National Park
- A deadly rockfall occurred at Bow Glacier Falls, Banff National Park, on June 19, killing two hikers and injuring three others.
- The rockfall occurred when a section of the mountain separated and fell, caused by natural geological processes typical in mountainous regions, according to Parks Canada.
- Among the deceased were 70-year-old Calgary resident and retired professor Jutta Hinrichs and 33-year-old engineer Hamza Benhilal, a friend of survivor Khaled Elgamal.
- Elgamal recalled Benhilal as a kind, generous, and very supportive person who always wore a smile and was open-minded, a quality shaped by his extensive travels.
- Parks Canada closed the area and stated no prevention or prediction of the rockfall was possible, highlighting the risks of backcountry hiking despite rescue efforts and teamwork by bystanders.
