230818 奇迹生还！美国男孩为游客拍照让路跌落峡谷
▍原文
A 13-year-old boy has miraculously survived after slipping and falling nearly 100ft at the Grand Canyon.
Wyatt Kauffman was rescued by crew almost two hours after falling off a ledge at the tourist site, located in the US state of Arizona.
Wyatt told a local television station he had fallen while moving out of the way so tourists could take pictures.
"We're extremely grateful for the work of everyone," said Wyatt's father." We're just lucky we're bringing our kid home in a car in the front seat instead of in a box."
