original story found hereDue to this accident, all tabur is out of bound for the time being.
Lately there are too many people flocking to most all the taburs.namely Taburwest, Tabureast,Tabur far east/extreme. Alot of them are newbies and have no idea what they are getting themselves into. Sometimes my friend Ben, and I when we happen to there and many a time have to assist them to get down at station 10. So in a way I am glad Tabur is closed for now. I just hope they will be strict in enforcing the law and ensure everyone has a guide besides applying the permit. Getting the permit does not help to prevent accident, but if they have an experience guide to take them, it will help to avoid such incidents.
