Survivors of a New Zealand volcano eruption are listed as the first witnesses to testify in a trial of tourism industry operators over the disaster that claimed 22 lives.
FILE - Plumes of steam rise above White Island off the coast of Whakatane, New Zealand, on Dec. 11, 2019, following a volcanic eruption on Dec. 9. Three helicopter tour operators pleaded guilty on Friday, July 7, 2023, to safety breaches when New Zealand’s White Island volcano erupted in 2019, claiming 22 lives. Prosecutors open their case in the Auckland District Court on Tuesday on health and safety charges against six companies and directors in the Dec.
British helicopter pilot Brian de Pauw and Australian tourist Annie Lu are also high on the witness list. Many people question why tourists were allowed to visit the island after experts monitoring seismic activity raised the volcano’s alert level two weeks before the eruption. Of those killed, 14 were Australian, five were American, two were New Zealanders and one was from Germany.
