One of The World's Most Dangerous Destinations?

After the Super Bowl tonight, I was idly reading the internet news.  A FOX News story entitled "The World's Most Dangerous Destinations" caught my eyes.  I figured it would be a typical FOX Chicken Little article about how the falling sky could kill you or something like that.

Anyway, I was reading hte article, nodding my head, "YES."  The article was about truly dangerous places like deep in the heart of Indonesia and on the flanks of the active volcano down in the Caribbean and about Mexico and that really wild and dangerous place Vanuatu and I am going, "YEAH, they sure got that right."

And then, LO & BEHOLD, the #5 Most Dangerous Destination is Northeastern Arizona!

WHAT?  HUH?  SAY WHAT?  Honestly & truly, I was stunned and speechless and totally wide awake.  I mean the other four places are truly deep dark holes of almost certain death.  But Northeastern Arizona?  You've got to be kidding.

In typical FOX style here is what they said.  This is the whole statement--nothing edited:

"Northeastern Arizona
Of course, when it comes down to it, nowhere on the planet is truly safe. A perfect example of this can be found in Arizona, which is known for its consistently arid climate, but where snow and rain storms in the northeastern part of the state were so severe in late January that President Obama declared a state of emergency for the area. Members of the Hopi Tribe and Navajo Nation as well as their livestock were stranded by the deep snow and mud. Cows were reportedly seen standing dead in the snow in some areas. Citizens needing medical care were airlifted out and likewise, supplies were being airlifted in, with more than 1,500 people needing assistance. As of this writing emergency repairs had shut down part of Arizona 89A between Sedona and Flagstaff. FEMA, who coordinated rescue and relief efforts on the ground, dispensed safety advice good to remember during any cold climate travel, including watching for signs of frostbite – “loss of feeling and white or pale appearance in extremities such as fingers, toes, ear lobes, and the tip of the nose” – as well as signs of hypothermia, which include, “uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness, and apparent exhaustion.”
