MOTHER EARTH & SPACE NEWS - Deadly Volcano New Zealand | News Dec.9.2019
New Zealand volcano: no survivors on White Island, police believe. Five people have been confirmed killed, a figure that is expected to rise, after a volcanic eruption on New Zealand’s Whakaari/White Island. Police have said that they believe there are no survivors left on the island after reconnaissance flights showed “no signs of life had been seen at any point”. The military will deploy drones at first light to assess the situation on the ground.
As many as 27 people were thought to have been stranded on the island after the eruption. Prime minister Jacinda Ardern arrived in Whakatane, the nearest major town, late on Monday night and met with local council leaders. She is expected to travel to the island on Tuesday.
New Zealand police deputy commissioner John Timms told a briefing that police and rescue crews have still not been able to access to the island, after advice from volcano experts. “The physical environment is unsafe for us to return to the island.”.
A number of people have been taken to hospital, some with burns as a result of the eruption.
Fewer than 50 people were on the island at the time of the eruption, and 23 have been taken off.
30 to 38 of those people were passengers on the cruise ship Ovation of the Seas, as confirmed by the chief executive of the New Zealand Cruise Association.
The eruption occurred about 2.11pm local time, 48km off the coast of the Bay of Plenty, in the North Island. Academics have questioned the suitability of White Island, New Zealand’s most active cone volcano, as a tourist destination, saying it “was a disaster waiting to happen”.

Thank you Sallybeth
My pleasure ☺️
I do wonder about this.... people go glibly walking around on an active volcano and the world is incredulous when some are killed. Sorry but duh.
Yes, the volatility is expected and yes, history shows volcanic eruptions to be erratic and hard to predict.

Both @ArtTurtle and @Artopium (and perhaps soon @thejollyroger) are being needlessly downvoted by themarkymark. The more the delegator bots
are downvoted the less they will be able to upvote your content so this is an indirect attack on you! This is happening out of
pure vindictiveness as you know these bots are not spam and are powered by your steem power. Please help out by upvoting this comment
in order to counteract themarkymark's downvotes. Then please use your new downvote pool to downvote themarkeymark. He is a witness
and is abusing his power as such. Please unvote him for witness here.
He creates blacklists of thousands of Steemians he deems "inappropriate". I believe he is a majority cause for the drop in
the price in steem as he wrecklessly downvotes random content causing people to want to leave Steemit. Since he has over 500,000 SP
he can do quite a bit of damage, so it's going to take a concerted effort to get him to stop. Thank you!
