6 elephants fall to their deaths trying to save each other at waterfall in Thailand

Six elephants have fallen to their deaths in Thailand while trying to save each other from a notorious waterfall.

Officials said the incident occurred after a baby elephant slipped over the waterfall in central Thailand's Khao Yai National Park.

Two other elephants were also found struggling on a cliff edge nearby, and have been moved by Thai authorities.

The waterfall, known as Hell's Fall, has a history of similar incidents.

A herd of eight elephants died after falling in 1992, in a case that brought national attention.
