Feeling sad for the tourists. I know some ppl said that they asked for it by going to such a dangerous place, but it was really not their fault. Since official tour operators actually organized trips there for years, its only natural for tourists to believe that the authorities should know better and that the trip must be relatively safe. Therefore, the real question is - why did the authority allow for such trips even when there is a possibility of such tragedy happening? i guess it has to do with money thru tourism.
Good question
You can't just put everything on the authorities.
People need to do their own research, on almost everything in life.
Money? Naaaaa!
I appreciate you blurring out the victims faces.
@John Grygus to be respectful...
@David Smith maybe he had shoes on?
David Smith p
Adventures can lead to death. Being scalded to death is a horrible way to die.
Yep. LOTS of ways of dying are horrible. Were you aware that 25,000 people starve to death.....every single day?
Twenty-Five Thousand people a DAY. Every day, globally.
You have any idea how LONG it takes to starve to death? Between 5 to 7 weeks. Imagine being hungry and starving, for over 40 days......before you die.
Yet, nobody mentions starving.
Being scalded to death is bad. But I'll bet those deaths took less than 20 seconds. Try 40 days of starving.
@@robertjensen1048 Whilst I understand the point you are making, you're turning this into a competition for the most horrific way to die!
Starvation isn't something relevant to how these unfortunate victims died on that volcano.
@@robertjensen1048 Heartbreaking
@@felixcat9318 I understand your point. My point was, that we in the West only notice when people die in sudden, explosive ways. Or in plane crashes. Nobody seems to notice the 1000x more people who die from dozens of other unnecessary causes, such as malaria, dysentery, and starvation. If humans were logical at all, we'd pay far more attention to hard stats, and less attentions to flukes and blips.
Ya think
i guess the tour company will be sued into bankruptcy now - they had warnings and should never have taken people anywhere near this island
Poor souls May God help those recover their remains 💛😭🌼🌻
Shut up
The owners of the island have not been mentioned by name in any news report. I find that to be very curious.

"It was bought by Auckland stockbroker George Raymond Buttle in 1936. He later refused to sell it to the government but agreed in 1952 to have it declared a private scenic reserve. The island is today still owned by the Buttle Family Trust.
According to the New Zealand Tourism Guide, the owners of White Island Tours were appointed as the official guardians of the island and access is only granted through designated tour operators. "
Well that’s auckward
@@AW-ge5sp everyone has to sign a liability waver to access the island...it's a VOLCANO you see,,, ..a dangerous place where all sorts of bad things can happen at any time.
@Martin Turner ..it's a active VOLCANO...it's like blaming the company that makes bricks for someone who stands on the top edge of a high rise brick building and they can blown off by a gust of wind...
Someone owns a volcano ?
Heroes, amazing courage to quickly get there and help.
Hats off
Hats ON dude, all those boulders and shit.
Interesting to see the path of the ejecta. You can actually see where it has created new coastline and built up the seafloor in certain areas. It's also interesting to see the "smoke" traveling along an atmospheric current.
By the shape of the island, it seems like the volcano was like Mt. St. Helens. I guess an eruption took place where one side of the mountain bulged and the air bubble in the volcano popped sending much of the mountain everywhere.
You didn’t record the numbers of people dying on the shore on the other side. You videod one evacuation. If I didn’t know the story of White Island tourism, Id assume that victim was an unfortunate scientist.
Why where people allowed go there, i just can't understand that... madness.
karma
Yeah i know right? active or inactive there is NO way i would even want to go INTO a Volcano Crater!! i mean what is there to see anyway? ...rocks and hot bubbly toxic fluid...no thanks
Money rules.
@@NaughtyNed absolutely and if it goes off your fcuked... i only like watching volcanos on here, forming new islands and such, but people needlessly dying is what is the problem here is, NZ straight away looking to prosecute.
Good selfie.
Mother Nature is powerful. That's all I have to say
Can't imagine how much it would suck to get caught up in an explosion like that.
It wouldn't suck, it would BURN. Par boiled alive
@@paperthin2 Does par-boiled hurt?
To ask visitors do you want to tour an active volcano? Um, my answer would be No, I don't want to risk it... Did the guests have a false sense of security because it's a tour?
Can't follow people off a cliff and sue later for it. Take some responsibility for your own welfare.
Shelly Flanary If you remember, there were boatloads of people on water tours during the 2018 Hawaii eruption to watch lava pouring into the ocean even though USGS warned of explosions. Hawaii local govt even allowed it since so much income is tourism.
It’s always the same.
You have to wonder.
Island with volcano
MONTSERRAT
THIS IS A VOLCANO PERIOD,IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN.
Shelly Flanary Another video by a man who visited the island last year said everyone had to sign disclaimers before going, stating that they understood it was a risk to their health and life. Game over.
THAT'S FAR FROM THE TRUTH, WHEN I WENT TO HAWAII IN 2007, I VISITED KILAUEA VOLCANO WHICH IS ACTIVE, LOCATED HILO BIG ISLAND..I WENT RIGHT UP TO THE RIM, ZULFUR GASSES EVERYWHERE, YOU COULD COOK EGGS ON THE HOT CONCRETE, I FELT SUPER SAFE, THAT LOCATION IS HIGHLY MONITORED FOR ACTIVITY, THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHEN IT WILL DANGEROUS OR NOT TO VISIT, THIS PLACE IN WHITE ISLAND DOESN'T CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT MONITORING IT, BY OBVIOUS REASONS...TOURISM IS SUPER PROFITABLE THERE
The official response and I mean immediate response after seeing the Primeminister and Police spokesman give a TV press conference, it left a lot to be desired and bordered on cowardly.
While the PM and Police stopped any rescue attempts the local Heli Pilots got in immediately and rescued survivors. These Men made the difference between life and death.
They were worried more people would die in their efforts. They also believed that if anyone was still alive... they either would be too far gone (as fast treatment is key in terrible burns, particually with respiratory burns) or they would have to wait.
Sadly ...they may have been right. At that point it was about triage. Decide if the lives and health of search/rescue were work risking for people they most likely couldn't save anyway at that point. There was also no way to tell if the volcano would follow up with secondary erruptions.
There's no easy or right thing to do at this point. None.
Of course the families would gladly risk life and limb to find their loved ones. I would too. I'd be charging onto that island.
But ...would the victims want more people to risk injury or death to find their bodies? I don't know. I wouldn't want that.
This is one of those situations where you need volunteers. This is "above and beyond" level stuff. I can't judge ANYONE for not wanting to charge head-first toward the mouth of an active volcano. There's bravery in the face of fear, and then there's just human instinct to live. with deepest respect from the USA, please do like they did in Hawaii during the 2018 Kilauea flow!! Just leave it alone for a few months. Kilauea is still expelling battery acid inside the caldera. If there's an earthquake or another blast... Please just leave it to the experts for a while.
I hope you've changed your mind during these last couple of days, and that you don't feel it's cowardly to refuse to send healthy men and women (who didn't choose that career path to be thrown into a volcanic crater with a 50% chance of a subsequent major eruption) to their deaths to try and save people who would have been mostly too far gone to ever leave a hospital bed. I'm happy there were pilots and boat crews that could take the blunt of the rescue efforts. But I would NEVER send in people to be slaughtered with their blood on my hands if (and it was deemed very likely) another eruption were to take place. As Neith so eloquently put it; there simply wasn't an easy or a right way to do it at that point. They chose the absolute best option, and I applaud them for having to make the hard but rational call of not sending in even more people to die.
I believe there are places you should disturb.
Hayden Inman is the tour guide who died that day amongst those sorry i may not know you all but i feel so heart broken ever since the news came on about the eruption NZ 😭💛🌷 God bless their beautiful souls. R.I.P
If people want to see an active volcano, their safest bet is to visit a basaltic shield volcano like Kilauea in Hawaii. It's not an explosive stratovolcano like White Island and you can outrun a lava flow if you have to. Plus, it's spectacular at night. But seriously, laypeople should stick to watching videos of active volcanoes and leave the visits to the scientists.
what is the soundtrack of this video?
Dragon 💩
Darude sandstorm
I'm also curious. It's beautiful
How'd they die?
badly
Are people now going to be banned from Yellowstone now. Same thing happening there but many many thousands of people go and visit each year. It’s a risk that as an individual you take. There is no one to blame. It’s simply wrong place wrong time . A terrible accident.
Its visual only of the first responders, showing the island ash on the ground, the volcano's eruption clouds.
Yes,the visual is of the clouds and island Volcano Ash..that's not an ISLE
Look closer
It's a volcano with high Ridges..
@@ostapbendervan7874 Shocking the report that their were people inside the crater when it exploded, & despite repeated warnings from Officials.
What destruction? Without the volcano, there would be no island. No, creation here is in progress.
19 people lost their lives you Nimrod
@@Rustyshackleford1544 Nimrod? I haven't heard that one in ages. 🤣
Imagine if the world did this. Mother Nature could terraform herself, what do you think would happen to us..? Scary thought huh?
@@Rustyshackleford1544 natural selection at its finest. r.i.p. to the victims and condolence for the family though.
think if the people that visit Yellowstone everyday and walk across the crater and visit the geysers, I sure hope this is a lesson for them

TRUTH+ YOU DO REALIZE OR NOT THAT IN THE U.S.A ...IT'S COMPLETELY SAFE TO VISIT A VOLCANO, IT'S HIGHLY MONITORED FOR ACTIVITY AND CLOSES OFF WITH ANY SIGN OF IT BEING VOLATILE..I VISITED KILAUEA VOLCANO IN 2007, IT WAS ACTIVE AND I WENT UP TO THE RIM COMPLETELY FELT SAFE, WHITE ISLAND CARED MORE ABOUT TOURISM AND PROFITS THEN SAFETY AND RESTRICTIONS
I wonder if New Zealand's Banks Peninsula volcanoes are truly extinct, or just dormant.
They have been dormant for many years. Officially.
Don't read below, unless you really like the idea of reading dozens of posts from second-guessers, Monday-morning quarterbacks, and people so nervous their idea of danger is watching "Planet Earth" on PBS.
It would be a Kind gesture is the NZ government paid all costs to victims and their families. it would be kind to make a generous compensation payment to all the victims. Its not that hard to be kind.
New Zealand couldn't afford to do such a thing.
If one of the big ones erupts we will be moved to Australia who is left alive
well ur welcome at my place mcgruff lol
Its not Destruction its mother nature at its best...
I live on the other side of the ring of fire, been in numerous ash falls in N. and S. America. It's NOT FUN or healthy, and I was almost in the wrong place at the wrong time on Mt. St. Helens on the day so I've thought a lot about it all. Being familiar with that sort of terrain, I would say going into that crater is a roll of the dice; if something happens, you're IN it, it's coming DOWN on you, and you are S.O.L. If you are "lucky" to survive, your life will be a world of pain from that point on. You can't move fast enough to get out, unless you're close to a chopper. How many visitors understood that? At a larger scale, Seattle and Tacoma are in a mudflow bowling alley courtesy of Mt. Ranier.
It's considered an active volcano & people were allowed to walk on the crater? That is incomprehensible & yet it happened & people have died some were incinerated & some were seriously burned.
Yes all for the sake of money making
An active volcano and people wanted to walk on the crater !!.
How many people died?
A wild and dangerous place. The ancient Greeks would probably have left it for Hephaestus and nobody else
Hulle het gekry waarvoor hulle gesoek het... Maar daar is seker beter dinge om te soek?
what are the buildings on the island for?
Running for cover
Remains of the times when there was sulphur mining on white island. Up to the 1930s.
@@eteran23 i thought so. cosidering there was a lot of sulpher in the area
Lake Taupo is an active volcano and they built a town on it.
The entire Yellowstone national park is a volcano and millions go every year.
Just bad luck.
No sense in blaming anybody.
The lake is the crater.
It is what is known as a super volcano.
Not great when it erupts again..!
What an alien landscape. I've driven thru opotiki and the bay, and I have never felt like going there... I think the ovation outfit and our country should pay for their surgeries.
Is the tourism board selling tickets yet to bring people back to see how bad it was? They have to jump on this popularity right away and make some more money...
What is the difference between visiting White Island and visiting Yellowstone?
I did visit them both , well yellowstone is not an island ,but I guess it could be very dangerous too
Never tour any Volcano!
I was going to go there last weekend actually. Was shocked when I heard.
What were the man made constructions at 0.11/12🤔
In the early 20th century people used to mine sulphur there. Until there was... an eruption!
Mark Copsey Oh wow really cause i was also wondering
Hiking on an active volcano, what can go wrong? Next up, lets play Russian Roulette.
THAT'S FAR FROM THE TRUTH, WHEN I WENT TO HAWAII IN 2007, I VISITED KILAUEA VOLCANO WHICH IS ACTIVE, LOCATED HILO BIG ISLAND..I WENT RIGHT UP TO THE RIM, ZULFUR GASSES EVERYWHERE, YOU COULD COOK EGGS ON THE HOT CONCRETE, I FELT SUPER SAFE, THAT LOCATION IS HIGHLY MONITORED FOR ACTIVITY, THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHEN IT WILL DANGEROUS OR NOT TO VISIT, THIS PLACE IN WHITE ISLAND DOESN'T CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT MONITORING IT, BY OBVIOUS REASONS...TOURISM IS SUPER PROFITABLE THERE
Im from Nz and I wouldnt even go there surely people would know the dangers of going there. So sorry they lost their lives
It would have been better with out the "Corny Music"
Common sense tells you visiting a volcano is dangerous .Same as mountain climbing there is always a risk . All the same its very sad .
Used to love sailing past White Island when I was on the Blue Star Line Ships sailing around the Kiwi Coast 👨🍳👨🍳
Volcano blows up once: they cancel all tours of the island, forever.
Imagine if we reacted to airplane crashes like this.
One plane crash, stop all air travel on the planet......FOREVER.
Future generations will make their own choices
I know people are saying. "Why where they allowed" etc, but roll back year before and see how many people before this time wrote or commented the same stuff somewhere. There was nothing, else the internet comments would have been "why didn't they listen to the warnings?"
It was a surprise for non-volcanologists, and a hightened risk to volcanologists but I believe not the top risk.
Like any disaster, there wasn't a formal way for the volcanologists to have their warnings seriously recognised.
Hoping that there will be some Worldwide grading (ie Alpha, Bravo, Charlie syatus) that will force /assist Tourist companies and governments to write a common process addressing what they will allow/not allow in the future for each of the status.
At least the deaths won't be in vain --- call it the "White Island Index" or something.

Why would they let people on an active volcano I get going on one that hasn’t erupted in like hundreds of thousands of year but an active one that last erupted in 2017 how stupid could these tours be
Probably making $$ is their priority....
Same person who let you have that floral filter
My dad said somthing like this happen before and all that survived was a cat. He may be wrong but hes older than alot of the young people talking about. How can you own a volcano Why can somon obtain the power to make an volcano. Where not allowed to own bombs or massive powerful weapons. It should be a national park reserve. They made money out of people that new nothing about dangers they didnt care about it going up a warning from 1 to 2 they only say the money and regret now that people have died. Money clouded these people minds and they should be liable. Work safe workplace was unsafe
It's just white island
A place I always intended to visit; sadly, no longer possible. It was one of the few places here in New Zealand that I hadn't managed to tick off my bucket list.
Should volcanoes be open for tourists????
Only for sacrifices
People live around them. Imagine the devistation if My. Etna does more than just have it's normal flares. Millions live at the base of her. 🌋
are the greedy reprobates responsible for this disaster in jail?

Been to the island worth going.. Keep it open Everyone is informed of the risks prior to going... Whakatane needs the jods created by tourists and adventures
Rather uninformative, guys. :/
Only for those who dont know anything about whakaari.
@@rebeccagibbs4128 tell us something important Becca!
Its the NZ Herald....I use it to start my fire and as a kitty litter liner
the title literally says what the video consists of " Aerial helicopter footage of destruction" lol idk why you're expecting unknown info
I hope this eruption doesn’t cause the Super Volcano in Taupo to Awaken!
Boring
Pompeii all over again. Very, very saddening for those who lost loved ones there. RIP
