I'm not sure if this has been posted here before, but its a great documentary about the 2 bear attacks that happened on the same night in Glacier National Park back in 1967. It includes actual photographs taken by the hiking parties, and first hand accounts from people involved. If your not familiar with the story, I highly recommend the best selling book Night of the Grizzlies by Jack Olsen. Its a must read.

I've got the DVD that I watch periodically and the book. These encounters along with the death of the young lady at White Lake in Yellowstone ushered in a lot of the bear management rules and regulations in the two parks.

I've read about this before but never taken the time to learn all the details. Crazy and humbling.
