(via NBC News) -- One person was injured in a new rockfall that occurred at Yosemite’s "El Capitan" monolith on Thursday, a day after a similar slab fell from the cliff face and killed one person and injured another, park officials said.
The rockfall at 3:21 p.m. local time (6:21 p.m.) was "significantly larger" than the one that occurred Wednesday, but was in the same area, park officials said in a statement. The person who was injured was transported by helicopter for treatment. The man’s wife told a reporter for NBC affiliate KSEE that he suffered a fractured skull.
A climber on El Capitan, Peter Zabrok, said in a video showing the aftermath that Thursday's rockfall was "a full order of magnitude bigger" than the deadly one that occurred Wednesday.
