Post Grand Canyon rescue as dam bursts

US rescue crews have airlifted some 170 people to safety from a remote village in the Grand Canyon after a dam burst following days of heavy rain.
Grand Canyon National Park spokeswoman Maureen Oltrogge said water from the Redlands Dam had caused flooding in a side canyon containing Supai village.
The area, accessible only by foot, on horseback or by air, is home to 400 members of the Havasupai tribe.
Most people have been accounted for but searches will resume later on Monday.
