The weather network: We all have different definitions of “fun”. Some of us like to take a walk in nature, others like to head out to a local rink for some hockey (this is Canada, after all).
But for others, “fun” entails visiting a restricted area to venture near the red-hot lava flow of an active volcano.
Thousands seem to like this idea, because in recent days, the east coast of Sicily has been flooded with tourists and their cars, which are blocking the roads and preventing emergency vehicles from getting to the volcano. MORE
Ah those adorable madcap Uropeons !
Proceed at your own risk.
I guess the tourist never heard about this…https://nypost.com/2023/07/12/distressing-footage-captures-final-moments-of-white-island-victims/
These are the same dumb-asses that want to pet the bison at Yellowstone, step over the “Do not breach guardrail, current dangerous” sign at Yosemite Falls for a selfie, or get lost in the woods with no compass and no training.
People are stupid, careless, and lack discernment………always have been.
I’ll make a beeline for the Yellowstone Caldera when she blows. Not much interest in early death from an avoidable eruption.
There’s two types of people in this world. Avoid them both.
It should be called The “Boy was Darwin Ever Right Conclave”.
@willysgoatgruff,
“Hide behind rocks” got a chuckle from me. You should see some of the “volcanic hazards” training footage the USGS keeps hidden from St. Helens in ’80. That pyroclastic flow was hotter than molten steel, denser than concrete, and going 200 mph…
You want to see a volcano up close? Go to Hawaii. Shield volcano’s aren’t safe, but they’re usually semi-predictable. Stratovolcano’s kill Phd Geologists all the time.

That’s one way to mass clean the gene pool

And the shark lady in the next article.
More assholes throwing themselves on the good graces of others. This needs to end. Charge them for saving them.
No virgins in the group to sacrifice to appease the volcano gods? Look, if the tourists aren’t going to come prepared, don’t come at all.
Natural selection.
Is there a rule that tourists must behave like lemmings? I mean it’s everywhere.
Liberal/globalist politicians MUST be the new sacrifice….
Let’s get some good photos! What could possibly go wrong?
Dang, talk about timing. I am planning a trip to Italy in a couple of weeks. Glad it wasn’t Vesuvius. On the other hand, if Vesuvius does go in 3 weeks, I may be famous when someone finds my body in a couple of thousand years 🙂
Hey honey! Let’s paddle over there and wait for a giant Earth fart!
