2. SOUNDBITE (English) Ty ONeil, The Associated Press:
“So we’re here in Death Valley to kind of explore what it’s like just to visit this place and experience this level of heat.”
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Ty ONeil, The Associated Press:
“Now, it’s important to note this isn’t the official temperature at Death Valley, it’s the temperature it is right here. So we’re getting a little additional heat against the wall and cement”
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Ty ONeil, The Associated Press:
++SOUNDBITE COVERED BY SHOT 5++
“When you’re here, and that says 130F, it feels like 130F.”

"So many of the locations you can visit in Death Valley are much like this one, where you can pull up a car, jump out, get to the place you want to take your photo in a couple of feet."
7. Cars drop off people
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Ty ONeil, The Associated Press:
++SOUNDBITE COVERED BY SHOTS 9-10++
"In fact, park rangers have told me this is the preferred method, minimizing that exposure to this kind of heat. Rolling up in your vehicle, popping out, getting a couple of photos and getting back into that air conditioning."
9. Pan shot of Badwater Basin
10. People taking photos
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Ty ONeil, The Associated Press:
“So we just arrived in Badwater, and I, kind of, want to take you through the stages or waves of how the heat affects you out here. So this is our first stage, in your car, air conditioning, looking out at the heat. Pretty nice right now."
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Thomas Mrzilek, Base, Switzerland:
“It like a wave that hits when you get out of the car."
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Ty ONeil, The Associated Press:
++SOUNDBITE PARTIALLY COVERED BY SHOT 14++
“So we’ve left the car, walked down onto the salt flat and this is where the heat finally really hits you. You realize just how hot it is, you start sweating and it feels inescapable. And I think that’s the way to summarize, the heat out here is inescapable.”
14. Sign warning of heat
15. SOUNDBITE (English) Drew Belt, visitor from Tupelo, Mississippi:
“Usually a breeze is cool. This is not a cool breeze whatsoever.”
16. SOUNDBITE (English) Ty ONeil, The Associated Press:
“So I grew up in the desert, and I’ve worked in some pretty extreme environments in my life, and I can say that this is a different level of heat.”
17. SOUNDBITE (English) Ty ONeil, The Associated Press:
++SOUNDBITE COVERED BY SHOT 18++
“Every step you take, going away from the cars, feels like two steps going back.”

“One thing I would say is you just don’t acclimate.”
20. Salt flat
21. SOUNDBITE (English) Ty ONeil, The Associated Press:
++SOUNDBITE COVERED BY SHOT 20 AND 22++
“I’ve been out here for half an hour and it feels as hot now as it did when I stepped out of the car, if not even worse.”
22. Heat on salt flat
23. SOUNDBITE (English) Ty ONeil, The Associated Press:
“I have to make sure that my skin is not touching my equipment just to avoid being burned.”
