Tourists Received No Safety Warnings Before Deadly New Zealand Volcano Eruption

Tourists were given no health and safety warnings before visiting New Zealand's most active volcano, White Island, which erupted in 2019 and killed 22 people.
The eruption was foreseeable, and tour operators failed to understand the risk, provide protective equipment, ensure adequate evacuation measures, or consult each other.
An American couple on their honeymoon expressed concerns but were assured safety measures were in place before the eruption occurred.
Most survivors suffered severe burns, while a helicopter pilot and two passengers escaped by jumping into the ocean.
The island's owners and tour operators are on trial, accused of neglecting visitor safety in favor of profits.
