It's always people ignoring warnings, isn't it?

Hiking on an active volcano that has been closed due to increased activity is taking your life in your own hands. I don’t know if it’s anyone’s right to stop you, but not the way I’d want to die, personally.
The guides who facilitated this, however, absolutely should be held accountable for such criminal recklessness.

One did not expect it would be so easy to find volunteers who'd sacrifice themselves to a volcano but here we are.

I hope they charged the survivors for the rescue operation.

The Sakurajima volcano has been in a very active eruptive state since 1955, at times with activity at a frequency of one event per day.
