Greg – I totally agree.
Lava hurling through the air is something which happens during eruptions.
I hope the tourists had to sign a waiver. If they did than how unexpected was it?
Like saying being pulled out to sea by a rip tide is a freak accident.
Give me a break.
Hopefully none of them ever have children. A boatful of future Darwin Award winners.
Uh, you blame the licensed captain of the boat, not the paying passengers who board expecting that the tour to be operated as the law requires: safely.
(I know many 100 ton masters who run fishing and whale watching trips, including my girlfriend)
“That is not a freak accident.”
Well, from a probability point of view, the likelihood of that particular chunk hitting that particular boat would be freakishly low.
But yeah, the spewing of the “lava bombs” isn’t a surprise.
