Wall Street is not the only thing that came plummeting down this week.
Yosemite National Park in California has a second rock slide today after chunks of granite crashed to the Yosemite Valley floor in a cloud of dust Wednesday, injuring at least three people and destroying several cabins
The popilar lodging and retails area is defined by dramatic, sheer cliffs.
A park spokesman tells the television station KCRA that the first slide occurred shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday
The slide destroyed five cabins and partially damaged at least three others, according to a park statement. Three visitors were treated for minor injuries
A park spokesperson said the volume of rocks cascading from the granite face was estimated at about 1,800 cubic yards, or about 180 truck loads.
