U ponedjeljak je došlo do erupcije vulkana na novozelandskom Bijelom otoku, popularnom turističkom odredištu na kojem je u vrijeme erupcije bilo gotovo 50 ljudi.
Turist Michael Shade vulkan je napustio samo 20 minuta prije erupcije, a što se događalo u prvim trenucima nakon erupcije snimio je s čamca i objavio snimke na svom profilu na Twitteru.
Moj bože, vulkan na Bijelom otoku u Novom Zelandu danas je eruptirao prvi put od 2001. godine.
Moja obitelj i ja smo otišli 20 minuta prije, čekali smo da čamac krene kad smo to vidjeli, napisao je uz snimku.
My god, White Island volcano in New Zealand erupted today for first time since 2001. My family and I had gotten off it 20 minutes before, were waiting at our boat about to leave when we saw it. Boat ride home tending to people our boat rescued was indescribable. #whiteisland pic.twitter.com/QJwWi12Tvt

This is so hard to believe. Our whole tour group were literally standing at the edge of the main crater not 30 minutes before. My thoughts with the families of those currently unaccounted for, the people recovering now, and especially the rescue workers… pic.twitter.com/mn704hobRk

Opisao je kako je i njegov brod preuzeo neke preživjele, a njegova majka je pomogla u brizi za ženu koja je bila u kritičnom stanju. Snimio je i helikoptere na otoku za koje je naveo da “izgledaju uništeno”, prenosi Index.
Those are some of the people put boat picked up. Praying for them and their recovery. Woman my mom tended to was in critical condition but seemed strong by the end.

Teško je povjerovati. Naša cijela grupa je stajala na rubu glavnog kratera samo 30 minuta prije. Moje misli su s obiteljima onih koje nisu pronašli, s ljudima koji se oporavljaju, a posebno sa spasiocima, dodao je Shade.
Checked photo timestamps. Last photo from me standing on the land was 13:49; this first photo of the eruption was 14:12, about a minute or two into the eruption. pic.twitter.com/hyqQuO4vNq
