That Gower bloke's opinion is secondary to his immensely punchable face
Must have Aussie blood in him...
What's your excuse? š¤

@Donsteppa firstly, who is Patrick Gower? Is he just a journo?
Secondly, has he changed his opinion at all?
And thirdly, @Virgil I can't see how the conditions that killed 15 people would have been less dangerous immediately after the event than as the week progressed. As @Donsteppa pointed out grief, anger and shock combined with a lack of understanding meant people making statements in misplaced hope.

That 20 minutes thing from the pilot is a bit daft to me. He wanted to take his giant fan over fields of volcanic ash to ingest into a turbine engine. They really don't play nicely together.
Re volcanic ash. The ash falls from Ruapehu in the late 90s were quite interesting. It looked soft and powdery like talcum powder, but it was as harsh and hard as broken glass. Horrible stuff. Can imagine what it would do to your engine.

Yeah. I was flying turbo props in NZ at the time (was 95 from memory). Pretty much had a couple of weeks off. It basically gets melted into rock on the inside of the engine which increases the internal temp due to lack of airflow and you end up with a meltdown. Did a lot of training over the years to avoid it / get out of it. It's actually quite common and we stayed well clear of it. Creates spectacular St Elmo's fire on the windscreen in the sim. Lucky enough not have seen it for real.

I was stuck in traffic one day and looked out the window and saw that Uber cuck standing next to my Ute waiting to cross the road . Can confirm he has a face youād struggle to tire of punching .
Those tweets are pretty typical of fuckwit Internet experts . There were similar ones doing the rounds after Pike river by people whoād never been near a mine insisting that after an explosion was the safest time to re-enter a mine .

We drove through it in 1995 and it made the paint job on the truck look pretty shit . If it does that to paint Iād hate to think what it does to lungs .
But you know, pretty basic 20 minute job apparently.

The internet is awesome, until tools like Gower use it to spread stupidity.

Even worse if it gets in your eyes.

Are you certain of that ? If it was Iām sure a recognised expert like a helicopter pilot or Paddy Gower would have mentioned it.

Obviously doesn't fuck with helicopter engines though....

You have to love a good whinger. Funny how he didn't want to put his name to his comments. Unlike the lady who was very complimentary of the way the ship's staff handled the tragedy

Well after the passing of the euthanasia law maybe it wont be an issue, just get the pilot to say he wants euthanasia ... death by volcano.
Then if he does make it back he can change his mind.Terrible bloody movie

From the article:
Royal Caribbean has removed the White Island/Whakaari shore excursion page from its website but a cached version shows that it did not include any warnings about potential hazards on what it dubbed "one of the most active volcanoes in the world".How much more warning do you require?

Ludus / ludum also means school. Plebs / plebes means common people. Commictilis means disgusting.
So loosely, back to school idiot. Common people disgust me.
No offence š
