Thanks for the pine.

Pompeii ii?

A BBC team and a number of tourists have suffered minor injuries after being caught up in an incident on the erupting volcano Mount Etna in Sicily.
"Many injured - some head injuries, burns, cuts and bruises," tweeted BBC science reporter Rebecca Morelle.
Lava flow mixed with steam had caused a huge explosion, which pelted the group with boiling rocks and steam, she said.
She said about eight people had been injured, with some evacuated from the mountain by rescue teams.

8000 years ago an eruption of Mt Etna caused a tsunami that caused the evacuation of Israel. (apparently).

Several "idiots" you mean? If the damned thing had erupted a few times during the preceding weeks, I'd say these people deserved the reminder to stay clear of nature's violence when possible...

Lucky they weren't incinerated.

wow, that sound just now. amazing.

Very close to U.S. military bases at Sigonella, Sicily.

The white hills

Mount Etna... she gonna blow first. - No Eyes, American Hopi.

100% right.

Some of them are really looking for trouble.

3 of the injured were vulcanologists - at least they understood the risk before going.

Thanks for the links OP.

Looking at the sismo data it seems to be reducing a little. But not by much..

Couple of hours daylight left there then it might look good on the webcam if it's still spewing lava

the 'bbc camera crew'....hope they escaped okay. am really wooried for them

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Vo​lcanologists doing their work is one thing but TOURISTS
being in an area with an unpredictable active volcano that's already blown? The STUPID is STUNNING. Maybe getting smacked in the head activated a few of their brain cells.

If the populace of Pompeii and Herculaneum were as ARROGANT as these people...well, they deserved exactly what they got.

Even nature hates the pedo BBC

Sad news

I like your sarcasm

they can pound flashplayer up their cuck ass

You would think the volcanologists would have sense enough to wear hardhats on their expedition.

Well, a landslide following an eruption.
But Etna isn't that unstable at the moment. That risk would lie with Cumbre Vieja, Canary islands.

The study of vulcans?

Werner Herzog goes to fIlm the 1976 eruption on Guadeloupe.

I'm actually more surprised to see snow there. Never thought the middle of the Mediterranean got cold enough to snow.

All happening on live right now

I'm saying nothing.
