Yosemite Swimmer Who Fell From Waterfall Still Missing

yosemiteThe 19-year-old from Sacramento, Aleh Kalman, is still missing after he was swept over a nearly 600-foot waterfall in California’s Yosemite National Park over the weekend. The teen was 150 feet from the edge of the Nevada Fall on Saturday afternoon when he was swept by the river current.

“We believe it’s impossible to survive a fall like that,” park spokeswoman Kari Cobb said.

The park service said that searchers will resume the search today.

Swimming above the 594-foot Nevada Fall is not illegal, but the river is marked by signs warning of the danger, Cobb said.

Kalman had gone to the park with a church group, the park service said.
