Three British tourists killed while climbing waterfall in Vietnam

The bodies of three British tourists were found near a waterfall in central Vietnam, early Friday morning. The trio, a man and two women, were found outside of Dalat, a mountainous city that draws tourists with its crystal lakes and steep waterfalls. Vo Anh Tan, deputy director of the Lam Dong joint stock tourist company that manages the Datanla waterfalls, said visitors usually start at the top of the tiered waterfall, which was popular among Western tourists. Tan said an unauthorized local private tour operator arranged the tour for the tourists and apparently did not pay for entrance tickets and did not use the company's safety gear. He said the guide was detained by police for questioning.
