  1. Rest in peace to the beautiful who lost their lives in that horrible tragedy, And for the survivors I hope you are all well my deepest condolences to all the people who had lost their loved ones in this event.

  2. The boat appears to be running parallel to the island instead of perpendicular . maybe it's an illusion , but they don't seem to be getting further away from the eruption .

  3. Letupan gunung berapi tidak terjadi sepanjang masa, tetapi terjadi pada suatu waktu, yang merupakan suatu pertanda atau peringatan alam terhadap penduduknya. Konon menurut cerita orang tua-tua adalah sebagai pertanda kelahiran seorang pemimpin besar. Sebagai kajian dan analisis prihal tersebut juga disebutkan dalam Al-Qur’an Surat ke: (7 : 155).

  4. What kind of man would take a paid position as an EMERGENCY FIRST-RESPONDER, then decide he will NOT risk his own life to save others? COWARD. Why hasn't he resigned?

  5. Came from the White Island survivor on tiktok. where her nike shoes saved her feet from being burned. but suffered bad burns but is doing great now <3

  6. Saw on my TikTok fyp one of the survivors from this explosion, and how she talked about her father and sister who she lost in the explosion. Couldn't imagine what she went through

  7. Tour guide take full responsibility That tragedy.iv been fishing around white island and just from looking at it from boat and anyone with common sense will know that be dangerous to venture on white island . it has claimed lives in past

  8. What is a
    "Royal Carribbean" anyways?
    We d have to ask the Vatican and the Spaniards they sent.
    That would mean that in truth, they are not "Latin Americans". Maybe they are royal….

  9. I had been on that very island not even a month before it had erupted with the CEO of the company (white island tours) with us. Seeing all that footage of the places that I walked through after the blast just scares me. I don’t think that the public will ever be able to walk on that island ever again. Such a sad and unpredictable explosion. Thoughts are with the people who have passed on 😔

  10. It's like Taal volcano here in Philippines. It erupted last January 12 (Phreatic Explosion) and is expected to have massive eruption as it continuously do volcanic activities. The tourists that day were lucky enough that they haven't reached its crater when it erupted. Being part of Pacific ring of fire is really scary.

  11. Why would geo net or anyone not inform any of the tourist vendors about a deadly volcano reaching level 2 activity?? Seems like they just let all those people die…. barely any effort to save people still stuck there. Ugh makes me incredibly upset and angry!!!! Stupid people not doing their jobs and letting others suffer because of their incompetence!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
