[drums rolling] [opens the envelope] THE DUMB CUNT CRUISE SHIP TOURISTS WHO FORKED OUT $600 TO GO ON AN ACTIVE SEA VOLCANO HELICOPTER RIDE! Congratulations! You win the ultimate prize! Fuck all of the aged, tasteless, obese imbeciles who have unjustifiably too much money to blow on frivolous, indefensibly unethical, unsustainable garbage like cruises, especially those that can spend thousands extra on fucking excursions ... Too bad the entire fucking ship wasn't on that goddamn rock!! |

The reason why I continue to post about these to attempt to inform people of the dangers of a volcano... I would guess the more people that see these posts/vids, the more they'd take this as a warning shot type of thing to steer clear of any volcanic islands, if they can help it... Sadly, some listen, some don't... some can't help it as they live near them etc...  ~Blue Spirit~ |

This profound science work by some of the world's leading climate science and seismology experts, shows why the United States has just entered one of its most dangerous periods ever. The book lays out the case for catastrophic earthquakes striking the USA with long term adverse consequences for the entire country starting as early as 2017! Hundreds of billions of dollars are likely in property damage and tens of thousands of Americans may die during the next twenty years of geophysical 'upheaval.' Veritence Publishing, Inc at [link to veritencepublishing.com] Mr. John L. Casey. IEVPC Co-Founder and Director. Mr. Casey is also President of Veritence, Inc., a science and engineering consulting company and Veritence Publishing, Inc. a company established to aid scientists, nature and science-fiction authors to get their books published. He was, previous to 2015, the President of the Space and Science Research Corporation (SSRC), a leading climate science research organization. Mr. Casey is a former White House space program advisor, NASA Headquarters and Congressional Consultant and was a Senior Field Engineer on the Space Shuttle program. He is a leading researcher on the science of solar activity cycles and their impacts on climate change and associated catastrophic geophysical events (CGE), including earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. He is also the author of the widely acclaimed climate science books including the 2011 climate book “Cold Sun,” its 2014 remake and natiowide best seller, "Dark Winter," and the December 12, 2016 book "Upheaval! - Why Catastrophic Earthquakes Will Soon Strike the United States." |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 78236972 United States12/09/2019 11:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Police added they still do not know an exact number of people involved in the incident, but both New Zealanders and international tourists are thought to be involved. Quoting: Cartel™ Police also said that it is too dangerous to search the island following the eruption, but a statement from St John Ambulance said it had now dispatched paramedics on helicopters, and was aiming to establish a triage unit on the island. The New Zealand Defence Force has also been dispatched to the area to help emergency services. "We can't be certain there won't be another eruption in the next 24 hours." There will be questions asked as to why tourists were still able to visit the island after scientists recently noted an uptick in volcanic activity. Royal Caribbean, whose cruise ship was visiting the mainland, had passengers on an excursion to the volcano. A spokesperson for the company said: "We can confirm that a number of our guests were touring the island today. We do not have any additional details to share at this time." [link to news.sky.com (secure)] I'm stunned that there were daily boat tours to a tiny island that was an active volcano and people would actually go to it!! Dang. I mean that's stupidity in my opinion. Wasn't there warning signs that activity was increasing? And they still went? |

Tourists should never have been actually on White Island at this time due to the recent heightened volcanic activity. The tour operators or whoever is responsible for making the decisions to allow tourists to physically set foot on White Island at this time fucked up badly.
