Yeah I watched it last night and its absolutely madness that people were allowed on there and they're just relying on luck that it doesn't erupt while they are there. Those poor people steamed alive.White island documentary on Netflix is insane.
In retrospect nobody should ever have been allowed near the volcano.
In my trip to Japan I checked out the volcano at Hakone. Also Sakurajima. In both instances nobody is allowed anywhere near the crater.
And I would have done it too as it was apparently safe according to the tour guides. We got to fly over an active one in Vanuatu at night and it was majestic.
