A Westmont, Illinois, woman who appears to be falling from a Grand Canyon ledge in a viral photo said the picture was a prank on her over-protective mother. Samantha Busch, 22, sent the photo to her mother and colleagues at the medical auditing company where they both work as a prank after her mother repeatedly warned her about Grand Canyon safety prior to her trip with her boyfriend. Busch said. “So when we were hiking around the corner, I found a good spot where I could stand on the ledge. He angled the camera just right and he took a great picture.” Busch said the photo, which quickly spread across the internet, did not amuse her mother and coworkers. “They were all freaking out over it saying I gave them a heart attack,” Busch said. However, Busch said her mother isn’t angry about the prank, just relieved her daughter was okay.
