White Island

Recommended Posts

Seems strange that a Chopper pilot states he could have all bodies out in 90minutes and is prepared to do so. These poor people should be out by now and the weak Police and that pathetic PM need to take some leadership and get on with the job. Sadly this is what happens when a weak kneed woman is in charge. Too busy worrying about plastic bags etc.

How is it that so called experts are predicting that White Island has a 60% chance of erupting again,when its obvious that they didn't predict the first one instead putting the Island on a Level 2

warning.

 

Volcanologists, talk about going to work to eat your lunch :rcfe-laughing:

"PM need to take some leadership and...." - blah blah blah - thanks very much for your input Mr Bridges.

She's correct in keeping right out of it. Cops make the decision and they've got gung-ho Chopper pilots in one ear and cautious pointy head scientist's in the other. 

They've gone in now after being appropriately cautious.

I have a pic of my son and his wife- on White Island a few years ago! It erupted last Monday - on their daughter’s bday! :( You just never know eh? I was in Rome Airport many years ago and the day after I flew out, terrorists bombed it!

No and. My point was that “one never knows”. Be in the wrong place at the wrong time and it can be over in a flash. A good friend of mine lost his daughter in Queenstown - White Water Rafting. If she had gone the day before she would still be alive. You just never know when your day of reckoning might come - sometimes unexpectedly. Like this latest White Island tragedy.

Yeh sorry Trumper. I only got as far as and, and got waylayed. I was gunner say something along the lines

And you walk out the door and someone doing 80 in a 50 zone smashes into you. Just fate can get you. 

I knew a bloke outside Taupo who was killed by a pine cone. The branch of the tree whiplashed back but the pine cone crushed his head. Sad fate.
