Videos and details from eyewitnesses after deadly volcano eruption l ABC News

1. The victim blaming in this comments section is insane!! People weren’t informed of the full risk

2. Nature is a beast…Active Volcano…says it all
   ..

3. That is whakaari/white island an active andesite stratovolcano situated 48 km (30 miles) from the east coast of North Island in the bay of plenty.

4. When you step on a sleeping volcano
   Volcano: WHY DID YOU WAKE ME UP BOOM

5. And if it’s a volcano… Why are people there?

6. cool news

7. You do relize this isn't news right…. the Earth has been doing this for literally billions of years. That's what she dose.

8. Jacinda is Cruella’s less attractive sister.

9. lies and deceit just want to keep people in fear. Volcanoes do not exist, at least not as hot lava, eruptions of igneous rocks and other lies tell us

10. Why are they allowing visits to a active volcano, and why weren’t they keeping a eye on it to know when it was going to erupt? I think this all sounds very irresponsible of New Zealand.

11. It is amazing what humans can do. We can achieve great things but some times we could be so stupid and careless. Who in the name of god book a tour to go inside (YES, YOU ARE TECHNICALLY WALKING INSIDE THE CRATER OF AN ACTIVE VOLCANO) Why do we have the need to seek this kind of stupid thrills just to amuse ourselves. The result, a group of people killed just because there wan't any common sense by the tour operator and the authorities in NZ for allowed them to promote this stupid trip. I'm from a country with a lot of active volcanoes and UNDER NO CIRCUNSTANCE THE AUTHORITIES ALLOW TOURIST TO GO NEAR THE CRATER OF AN ACTIVE VOLCANO. There have been accidents of course but those are individuals that decided not to listen to the warnings and take the risk

12. Earth did the no nut November and this is the result

13. The government of New Zealand banned Pastor Steve Anderson from sharing the gospel over there and God will impose some kind of punishment if people stop the outreach of God's word being shared in parts of the world also the Prime Minister for that country is a transgender.

14. God is punishing those wicked people for their racism. PRAISE THE LORD!!!!

15. They should know better just stay away.
    One does not simply walk into Mordor

16. My mom said that there skin was falling off

17. Horrible news, so I’m not going to make light of it. But am I the only one that didn’t know you can own a volcanic island?

18. Why would people go on active volcano island.??????
    O yea have to take selfies and post it on Instagram and Facebook!

19. I guess I could see swinging by the island and pointing it out from the boat….but making it an excursion?

20. Stupid asses. IT'S A VOLCANO! But you entitled idiots think going any and everywhere is smart. It wasn't a EXPLOSION. It was an ERUPTION. That's what they do. Or did you miss that part in your home schooling. NO SYMPATHY FOR STUPIDITY. FOH.

21. Sending PRAYERS!

22. The webcam photo was not minutes before the eruption, it was 1 minute before the eruption, I would say that of these people none made it, the unfortunate thing is the island has a refuge container where people can go in an eruption but it was not used, and that could be that there was no emergency procedure highlighted to the participants of the tour of the volcano.

23. 50% chance???…..OMG!!! The odds!!!

24. How can someone own an island. Lmfao crazies

25. Wow this a sad story

26. Life is fun isn't it. lol

27. some are still accounted for…I hope so MIchael

28. Are we going to act like we didn't hear how bad his lisp was.. (first news anchor) Neuth Seethland

29. Jesus Christ Is About To Return……

30. Well there goes adverse climate change particulates high up into the stratosphere.

31. The fire-cutters from France and Switzerland–guerisseurs–why aren't they being flown over? The university hospital in Lausanne has a list!!!!!

32. That's like playing Russian roulette ✌️

33. But why doesn't New Zealand enact Common Sense Volcano Laws? This could have been stopped!

34. I wonder, is there a way to predict an eruption?

35. Stupid people

36. HOLD UP! Are you telling me I can own a volcano?

37. Natural Selection at its finest

38. That is too scary to be a vacation.

39. Here is an amazing documentary vid on this island if anyone’s interested to see images of it before the eruption. https://youtu.be/PBNo4H3nw7k

40. Why are so many people blaming the tourists? They were on an excursion from the cruise line and had professional guides. It is reasonable for them to assume that they would not be taken into a life threatening situation.

41. "Hey guys…lets go hike around New Zealand's most active volcano" ok

42. How does a family own a volcano??

43. You walk into an active volcano and somehow it's someone else's fault it blows up on you? Try staring at the sun then try to sue the property owner when you go blind; see how far that gets you.
