On August 31, the number of people unaccounted for after a deadly flash flood hit part of the Grand Canyon fell to one, as US Park Rangers said they had managed to make contact with over a dozen who had been missing. Two people are known to have died in the sudden flood -- both men -- whose bodies were recovered as search and rescue teams moved in, amid fears that many more could have been swept away at one of the most popular and dramatic tourist spots in the United States.
