crustyngrizzly 1,682 Report post Posted December 12, 2019 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.

jeepers 276 Report post Posted December 12, 2019 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crustyngrizzly 1,682 Report post Posted December 12, 2019 It is a risk any time you go out there or even get in a helicopter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

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.
