>Go to Death Valley

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/us/french-tourist-dead-death-valley.html

Maybe visit Disneyland next time.

It's literally called death valley
Why are euros like this
>>
>>2878355
Can't you just call the emergency to get your car serviced ? I literally don't understand the problem
>>
>>2878363
>I genuinely have no idea how remote parts of the world can be!
>>
>>2878366
It's literally a flat plain nigger, worse case you call 911 and they land a rescue helicopter
>>
>>2878355
Ban roads they killed people.
>>
>>2878372
1. You have no cell service
2. It's too hot for your phone to work
3. Is too hot for you to think
4. It's too hot to fly helicopters through the air
5. Fatal heatstroke sets in within a few hours

Here's an idea, go get stranded in death valley and prove us wrong!
>>
Great story about missing Germans in Death Valley: https://otherhand.org/home-page/search-and-rescue/the-hunt-for-the-death-valley-germans/
>>
>>2878389
>It's too hot to fly helicopters
The US flew helicopters in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan all the time. The Soviets flew helicopters in Afghanistan. The US uses helicopters in their North Africa operations.
>>
>>2878398
>military helicopters are TOTALLY the same thing as civilian ones, guys!
>>
>>2878393
I thought of this story too when I saw this thread.
>>
>>2878389
I forgot the US rural areas were basically third world, my bad
>>
>>2878423
Death valley is outside of Life Flight /Mercy Air operational zones so the Army is dispatched (in blackhawks) for rescues and they use it as a training event.
>t. 3d Armored Cav with a blackawk unit that has also had 2 friends medivac'd out of the desert so ive seen it first hand from bith sides.
>>
>>2878461
Rural
Its a fucking national park, dumbass.
Death valley is about 1/7th the size of Portugal or 1/6th the size of Ireland.
Theres more open desert in the U.S. than your entire country.
>>
>>2878466
Europeans literally cannot comprehend such spaces anon dont even bother
>>
>>2878464
nooo you aren't supposed to point that out!!!
>>
>>2878389
Why do retards keep going into deadly areas without a satellite phone or starlink?
>>
>>2878490
Sign at entrance to Death Valley circa 1850
>3 days no water
>travel at night
>dont stop
But those days are gone. You can mash the gas pedal through the valley on an open road at 70mph with the A/C cranked up and be out in less than 2 hours (on the longest route).
Over a million people visit Death Valley every year. Deaths are rare but they always make the news because sensationalism is the MSM meta.
In comparison- about 12 people die in car crashes in California every day.
In 2025 there were 2 deaths in Death Valley- both were car accidents on the highway through the valley.
>>
It's funny to see how amerifags idealise a fucking desert, you'd expect any normal country to add emergency phones along the road every 2km or something if people die so much there no ?
>>
>>2878389
So if your car stops working even when you are in the main road you also die?
>>
Maybe don’t go to the hottest place of earth in summer of all times alone, idiot
>>
>>2878575
The main highway is heavily traveled.
They were on a remote dirt road "exploring".
Death valley is 5,270 square miles.
>>
>>2878577
If you're dumbfuck enough to not prepare, probably not even then. Someone will see you and try to take your money via state-sponsored banditry.
>>
>>2878602
There shouldn't be park guards or something patrolling with pick ups to see if there are people having problems?
>>
>>2878612
>5,270 square miles.
>>
>>2878612
lol full peasant brain, up there with:
>It's called a park, why are the animals not domesticated?
>>
>>2878631
Use drones then.
>>
>>2878653
>>2878612
How about taking responsibility for your own life instead of expecting the government to wipe your ass for you
>>
>>2878656
Your car can stop working and not be your fault.
>>
>>2878658
Fault is irrelevant
You should have been prepared for the possibility
>>
>>2878355
Why do the French keep dying on US deserts? A French family died a few years ago at White Sands
>>
>>2878389
>car ac runs
>its not that worse just wait
>fuel runs out
>die
>>
>>2878355
>french
for a people that are frank, they sure didn't take that name seriously did they.
>>
>>2878656
bro, europeans can't even take a shit without the government tickling their buttholes like a mother dog to her puppies.

europeans are nigger tier retarded, stop expecting adult human responsibility from them
>>
>>2878653
What's the range of these drones you wish to use?
Are you going to scan all 5,270 square miles just once a day to find the bodies or are you going to check all 5,270 miles hourly so you can find them when theyre still alive?
How many drones does it take to cover 5,270 square miles in an hour?
>>
Apparently during winter there is no danger because the temperature is between 64.4º F and 71.6º F. So just visit the park during winter and there is no danger.
>>
>>2878709
The temperature can drop from 50° to freezing in a day in Death Valley.
Its also a horrible place to be during a rain because of flash floods.
>>
>>2878709
When the mud freezes it turns into a skating rink and wind blows boulders around like some olympic figure skating competition.

Its a dangerous place any time of the year.
>>
>>2878729
The logical thing to do would be to be there during the day, not at night when it gets so cold. And floods must be something rare so it's very unlikely that they affect you.

>>2878730
Doesn't look like many rocks and I think I saw something about that and they move not so fast as to be a problem for humans.
