This was intense, just watched it. Can’t imagine what the living and the dead went through. Jesse losing his entire immediate family and he’s still carrying on - what strength. I’ve lost both my parents to cancer & I can barely bring myself to get out of bed most days. God be with them all, here and departed ❤️
Sorry to hear that Jake, hope your days become brighter each one that passes. I pray that burden gets easier for you and you can live your fullest life, as they would have wanted 🤛
🤛 thanks BigMac. I try. I know they’d want me to keep on keepin’ on
JESUS! I ugly cried for 180 minutes (the docu was 90 min)
@@thedolphinc literally same!
Losing a loved one can cause PTSD Jake. Fortunately I ran into the person who was the top liason for our Oregon Veterans who helped me through exactly what your describing. Grief is different for everyone. Go hug somebody and let it out. Begin the healing. Look up PTSD Symptoms. Sorry to hear about your Parents. God Bless.
So professional rescue team couldn't come due to dangerous conditions, but civil pilots came and tried to rescue what they could. Just wow! Poor folks. And that kid that lost his entire family. Broke my heart.
complete failure end to end by the authorities
I thought it was strange while I was watching that the rescue helicopter was 1 hour away from that area, I mean, they had absolutely no plan B. Then, not even that was provided to the victims... Any tourism on that island should have been forbidden to begin with...
The pilots lost their licence to fly also 😢
Gives me chills to think that random citizens will put their lives on the line to rescue complete strangers no matter the cost! ♥
Absolutely. Good people. Kindness and Compassion is humanity's true nature.
Those heli pilots are heroes.
Jesse Langford, one of the survivor who lost all his family members. His parents and his sister died (Rest in Peace ❤️). He is truly a stubborn bastard like how he said he was. Hats off to him. My inspiration. Tragedy yes, have that strength to move on and recover 💪🏼
His story is so tragic. Ridiculously strong young man
I read a report said Jesse recently graduated from nursing school and is ready to build caring, kind, strong relationships with patients through a career in the medical field. So happy for this young man and I’m sure his family would be proud of him. He survived and will help more people in the world.
The word you're looking for is "ignorant " not stubborn 🙄there's absolutely no reason to go on a active volcano at any time for any reason. His parents didn't care about their children's safety and were making fun of people who couldn't handle the choppy boat ride. I felt zero remorse for anyone that was on the island at the time
@@moneymanifestation9505 why do people like you exist 😭😭😭
@@icomeinpeace3756 to remind people like you of how stupid they are lol
I can’t believe the authorities decided to bring up legal charges the guys who risked their life to rescue the people in their own helicopters. Wtf?
Shut the front door. The Netflix story itself is extraordinary, but felt kinda sure level to me, I knee there was more to talk about. Thats crazy
Kudos to Mark Low for bringing the survivors straight to the hospital and not the airport as was instructed
Unbelievable! I was researching it after I saw the doc and saw that article. The only charges thay should be brought up is whoever put tourism profit over safety by allowing tourists to walk on an active volcano .
@@DAMNBros Mark Law is a legend foreal
@@Jacob32905 Mt. St Helens is an active volcano too. Should we ban all hiking there as well?
To the boy who lost his father mother and sister, if you ever read this: You are strong, you are one of the strongest individuals I ever witnessed. My honest respect, you will bring it far in live.
Shut up cock
I watched this last night and could not sleep. The pain and anguish these people endured … only to die later in hospital … 😞 The boat ride alone would have felt like an eternity … the painful escape… the waiting for help… the lack of relief. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever watched and Netflix didn’t even show us footage of the injuries on that day… but the descriptions will haunt my dreams for eternity. My heart hurts for these survivors and the victims’ families.
Wtf 🤣🤣🤣you lost sleep thinking about strangers who thought a active volcano was a good place to go and take selfies 🤣🤣you should have been there as well because you're also a waste of life
Why they even allow people to go and visit????
@@martacccc689 all parties are at fault new Zealand for being greedy and the tourists for being plain stupid 🙄
I believe some could´ve survived if the rescue had happened a lot faster - like, as soon as it happened. The authorities had cameras, they knew what was going on...
To the young man that lost his parents and sister, and all of the other survivors you are what makes this world a great place. To know there is strength in adversity, love overcomes blame, and that sometimes in life NO ONE is to blame. Live your best lives
That young man was INCREDIBLE... what a story. I hope he goes on to public speaking or something, incredible man.
Just watched it. Watching what all these people had gone through was unbelievable. I was panicking for them. Jesse’s survival broke me. That boy walked through fire. Such a heartbreaking docu 😢❤
Keep crying thinking about, was burned severely amd lost his whole family, now relying on the grandpa for support (which is never really good good thing because your grandparents are going to leave soon). So tragic, but man Jesse is one strong young man.
😂 ask them if they learn their lesson 😂
@@Jaff4Cake106 I really think Jesse didn’t have the choice that time. It was a do or die situation. He did say it was the hardest and the most stubborn decision he had to make. If I was his parent I will be so proud to know my boy made it despite the odds.
@@Jaff4Cake106 that’s just your choice and doesn’t mean Jesse is a coward. If he was my son or brother, I would rather he survive as a hope not die together. People can also say sitting there and waiting for death is coward because you give up to survive.
According to the report, Jesse recently graduated from nursing school. It means Jesse is going to build caring, kind, strong relationships with patients through a career in the medical field. Isn’t it a great thing that Jesse survived to help more people in the world?
Couldn't agree more. I didn't plan on shedding a tear but I have cried a river. God bless these beautiful people. The song at the end was beautiful as well.
I was on the island on Nov 29 two years before the tragedy. I went to many volcanos all over the globe, but I never had this bad feeling before. The boat was good and fast, but when we came to the tiny and broken dock, I felt very small on this natural monster. After few minutes, we had to put the breathing mask, being extremely closed to pockets of sulfur dioxyde. The path went to the very impressive acid lake surrounded by a lot of smoke. The landscape was amazing, but quite scary. We were just in the middle of a volcano. I thought the security measures were quite low, with no shelter, not any building to go, not any path sign to follow in case of an emergency, being at 2 hours from the coast. Of course, the crew from the boat was with us to guarantee our safety, but it was very minimalistic. Regarding European or US safety regulations, it would have been strictly forbidden to go to such a place. By the way, the island is now forbidden to anybody.
That is just totally nuts and bonkers! I’m an adrenaline junkie and I mean seeing this it seems unreal that not only was it allowed but promoted.
@@davidmorrison4593 Netflix has another good "adrenaline junkie" doc about that teenage rock climber who convinced an Alaskan for them to go for a doomed "climb" - as soon as that doc started I knew he was not going to survive the doc. This is how Westernized modern civilization is as a whole - look up "dopamine addiction" - that's what we are based on! We are all now doomed for it. I knew we were doomed by 1996 so I studied with a Shaolin qigong master who does spiritual healing after he did 28 days of nonstop full lotus meditation in a cave at Mt. Qingcheng - no sleep the whole time. When he was done then he levitated up 9 feet - right after exiting the cave while he was in full lotus meditation. thanks
I have been around the island snorkeling. No way in this world would I go on it. I've always been scared of it. It's our most active 🌋, not a tourist attraction.
There never should have been tours like that on that island. Fooling around near volcanoes is very dangerous. This one had a track record of blowing up a lot. The gentleman flying the helicopters plus the airplane pilot doing radio relays were amazing heroes. Landing those helicopters and rescuing badly injured people took amazing bravery. The stupid govt telling them to land at the airport and the heli pilots refusing and going to the hospital was incredible. Those men deserve a medal.
Those people who went there to help are Heroes!
It’s a shame New Zealand doesn’t see it that way. Why that is I don’t know, but it’s pretty messed up rescuers were persecuted.
@@s3ra9h1m 'It’s a shame New Zealand doesn’t see it that way. Why that is I don’t know, but it’s pretty messed up rescuers were persecuted.'
And here you are again disingenuously pushing that narrative. Dozens of comments have already been addressed to you elsewhere explaining the situation and yet you continue to post the same thing every subsequent day.
Your wilful ignorance and ongoing efforts to disparage the emergency workers on the day is what's truly messed up.
The excitement-seekers are self-centered, vain idiots.
They truly are! Don’t understand why the countries emergency workers couldn’t get involved, thought that it was there duty to provide aid even at the cost of their own lives. Really was upsetting to hear on doc that they wouldn’t.
I watched this yesterday and got so emotional i was crying 😩 that scene of boat Phoenix coming back with all the speed they got hit me so deep i watched it 6 times, the survivors are one of the strongest ppl especially that young men who lost his family omg what an intense experience
I rewatched that bit too. Just amazing how others tried to help so much
I watched it too. I also realized this is probably what the people in Pompeii went through.
Hate it all you want but i love Netflix for its Docu Series. Keep them coming.
Agree....I don't understand the hatred towards Netflix...I mean "My List" is still filling up with good shows to watch. No complaints here except maybe not enough time to get to them all :)
Think it was on 20 20 few years ago. Either new or they bought it from them. Maybe new
It’s true I love good Netflix documentary
@5500825 .... why spread the hate? YOUR comment is the only comment I see talking about hate. I know YOU'RE not hating.... but you're spreading the hate by acknowledging it. Here's a life lesson: ignore the hate. That way you don't spread the haters' message.
Netflix has some bangers . Idk what these people are talking about.
I visitted White Island in november 2012 - one of the most beautiful days of my life and without a doubt one of the most impressive places I've ever seen.
Unthinkable that this could have happened to us.
My thoughts go out to all victims and their families.
Greeting and best wishes from Germany
What a powerful documentary. Anyone that perished or survived with burns and disfigured bodies are true warriors. God bless these beautiful souls. It doesn't matter what the flesh is like it's the heart and keen spirit that matters in the end. Prayers continued everyday for each one of these beautiful people. Very moving documentary .
I think it was worse than burns - they were cooked alive - the ones who died probably had their internal organs cooked - it´s the worst possible death one can have...
Those two heli pilots were brave as F^%#! Mad respect to them. 🙌👏
I just finished this and tears were flowing. R.I.P to all the victims, and God bless all the people who helped 😢
What a tragic event. A well-made documentary. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. It's so upsetting to think that this even happened at all. How could they be touring an active volcano and told there was no real threat!? My heart goes out to all the people involved.
90 minutes of gut-wrenching scenes and heartbreaking personal stories of the injured and the bereaved. This is the first I've heard about the tragedy. Can't believe no-one has accepted responsibility for this, allowing tourist parties onto White Island when the volcano was at level 2. RIP the 21 people who lost their lives that day. 😪💔
The courage and braveness of some people are such an inspiration. Just like the firefighters on 9/11. Live your life for others.
Agree. Brought me to tears. Unbelievable selflessness.
@what about the situation I know you weren't talking to me, but just wanted to say I'm not American and I thought of the same comparison. Have you seen 9/11: One Day in America? I used to roll my eyes a bit at Americans' idolisation of firefighters, but after watching that documentary I completely understand.
The firefighters ran AWAY from the buildings, not in. Look into it.
@@bobert6523 watch 9/11: One Day in America. As a rule, they did not run away. But believe what you will.
@elliot linnington The firefighters I'm referring to, and I imagine the OP is too, are the ones who walked into very much still standing structures in order to save as many people as they could, without having any way of knowing how long the buildings would stand for. A number of them also refused the leave people behind after the first tower collapsed, while they were still in the second building. Do you just imagine they rocked up a couple of hours later to sort through a few rocks? Even after the buildings collapsed, the metal was so hot it was literally burning through the clothes and shoes of search and rescue.
This documentary made me cry. I don't usually cry, and I'm most certainly never provoked by cinematography. But, while watching this, I was forced to reflect on the ruthlessness Mother Nature grasps over life. I cried questioning why the innocent suffer- not only these people, but, all people and animals on this earth. I cried for their pain and their fear of the unknown at their death. This film put me in a very dark place.
This docu was devastating for me. I cried for the fear and pain of the victims and was moved so much by the purity of soul of the first responders. A great tale about nature and humans.
Incredibly powerful, intense, beautiful, and heart breaking documentary! A story well worth sharing. What a disappointing response from NZ rescuers and government. They should be ashamed of themselves. Hats off to the pilots and crew who risked their lives to help others.
Jesus Christ! I saw it yesterday and i can't get it out of my head! The guy who lost both parents and his sister was insane!
I cried 😭
Watching the end now, he will for sure be fighting ptsd & sorrows that will teach him a lot about himself. But he is a true fighter I’m amazed at his strength & resilience. God Bless them all.
I did the white island tour exactly a week before it erupted. Every day I thank my stars... Every damn day...
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Stars?
Wow.
I was there 2 weeks before so terrible what happened
In the country where my parents come from, people fear the ocean and volcanoes. Many events have shown them that nature is unpredictable and should never be challenged. Never go where the locals themselves do not go...
So true, I am a local and would never step foot on that volcano
Their skin "slid" off their mussels like soggy pasta. A variant depicted in that scene from "We Were Soldiers" What the victims endured must have been truly awful, and for the ones who helped, horrible PTSD for years im sure. I just hope they all get they help they need. People who see trauma sometimes can't handle it, the divers of the Ferry disaster who recovered the bodies of children trapped in there cabins took their own lives b/c they couldn't get the help they needed.
Don't forget the non-burned survivors are victims to.
Who visits an active volcano?
@@mistyoglesby2577 Probably the same Instagramers who die each year in the hundreds taking selfies of themselves :)
Mussels are FOOD. The word is spelled 'muscles'. Yes, spelling DOES matter.
@@NotMykl Did you know "Spelling" is and never has been part of an IQ test. Go look it up if you don't believe me. Spelling means nothing.
Further more, it was said by a smart man that those who "correct" others have nothing to contribute to society. That person just happen to be Albert Einstein.
So with this new knowledge that your spell checking is not only useless to IQ but also looked down on as pointless by the smartest man alive, i suggest you change your personally and lose the ego :)
Just watched it. The story of Jesse kinda broke me. I just want to hold/hug him (and never let go) 🥺❤
That kid is the definition of a fighter. What he experienced is unparalleled. He needs all the mental and emotional support he can get
This really shows people’s true beauty and strength to overcome.
To the lady concerned about scars and feeling the need to explain to others, you are infinitely more concerned than those across from you. It’s normal for people to advert their eyes and attention to even the smallest differences, temporarily. When cognizant and especially worried or insecure, we will make more out of something than it is. You are beautiful and emit grace.
Huge respect to that young lad whom picked himself up and pushed himself to stay alive.
Do you remember if he made it back by boat? They skipped to him waking up in the hospital.
I was so emotional watching this as I heard about the eruption the time it happened but never knew the extent of the casualties, how many died and the suffering they had to endure going through that scalding onslaught and the months that followed, the scale of human tragedy with mutiple and complete families losing their lives. I salute the survivors and the air and boat rescuers who went back for them.
What perplexes me is why were there charges against the helicopter and plane pilots? Even if their efforts saved a few lives it was worth every heroic effort.
I am so disturbed by this. No safety protocols in place, no evacuation plan , no monitoring of the volcanic activity at all. I hope the survivors and families of the deceased were compensated 😢🙏
I live in Whakatane, closest town to the volcano. I was in Las Vegas when it blew...weirdest thing, going from explaining where I live to seeing it all over the TV and everywhere. RIP the victims, terrible tragedy.
I watched the movie today on Netflix.
The news channels couldn't get the drama across as well as this movie. I was fighting with tears. And I find it especially courageous that the ship Phoenix came back once again and helicopters rescued people although the government had been against it for security reasons.
Yeah I thought what's the point of having rescue.
Sitting here snotty and in tears. When you travel abroad, you put an enormous amount of trust in strangers who may or may not be trained and prepared to handle potential emergencies. The tour guides, boat captains, fellow tourists, and pilots that contributed to saving everyone they could are all angels. The pilot that refused to follow emergency orders and flew directly to the hospital should win a medal of honor for his bravery in doing what he knew was best. Amazing how quickly your whole life can change. Love and prayers to all the rescuers and survivors for their continued healing in mind, body, and spirit 🙏💛👏
I can’t believe people think touring a volcano is a vacation spot ..this should have never happened because they should not have been there
Just watched it, I cried at Jesse. He lost his mum, Dad and sister. Heartbreaking
I love how Netflix will garner interest in documentaries
What a unbelieveable documentary this is! The will to survive and the heroic actions of those helicopter pilots who were not trained or authorised rescuers but just regular tourist sight seeing pilots who did not hesitate.
This documentary was a riveting Rollercoaster of emotions. I initially was perplexed about why people continuously put themselves in dangerous situations , but was quickly swayed onto the victims side and hoping for the best. The newlywed couples' bond was very touching. I would almost be willing to go through something like that in order to have a bond with a gal like they have. For the son who lost his parents and sister... unimaginable. Overall, this documentary was outstanding.
As someone who loves cruises, I would have totally gone on that excursion.
Well, I'm kind of upset. If there are 3 level warnings and the warning is a 2, they should have NEVER allowed visitors. Only at a level 1 would tours be okay. The fact they didn't explain this to the tourists is so irresponsible.
@@jenniferlawrence9473 Agreed. I'm sure that is the primary premise of the pending lawsuits.
@@jenniferlawrence9473 exactly. And the brother of Hayden downplayed the danger of it being at a level 2
I went on a helicopter tour of that volcano in the Big Island of Hawaii back in the 90svand I remember that before the trip, the tour company explained all the risks to us and gave us a chance to give up. The volcano was monitored closely but it was active - we could see the lava coming out and going into the sea... If it were today, I would not have gone on that tour ever...
Just finished watching the documentary and my eyes were blurry every now and then. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, survivors and their families. AMEN!
Just watched this documentary and it was impossible not to cry, especially when the word was passed down that they rescue team wasn't going to the island. The others were left like they were nothing.
Jesse is such a strong person, truly an inspiration. May god bless all the survivors, and the families of the beautiful lives that were lost that day.
Watched it today and I was so into it I couldn't believe 1.5 hour just flew by. I was very emotional for those people what they have gone through you talking about trauma for the rest of your life.
For those who are curious NZ has 6 levels of volcano alert 0 no unrest, 1 Minor volcanic unrest, 2 Moderate to heightened volcanic unrest, 3 Minor volcanic eruption, 4 Moderate volcanic eruption, 5 Major volcanic eruption. Mt. Ruapehu which is home to New Zealand's largest commercial ski field and Whakaari are aways at a 1 or higher.
Id say 3 levels.. Dormant.. Ready.. Active. Evidently..
Obviously level 2 was far too low for that volcano then! It should have been a 5!!!
See how complacency had creeped in. Thoight pattern of "Volcano wont pop off and we need to keep making money" happens all over the World. Unacceptable and operators need to be held accountable.
1st thing, Hats off to the crew members of the tour boat who Volunteered to """STAY ON AN ERUPTING VOLCANO""" with the dead & injured who weren't able to make it onto the initial boat that those crew members came off of to shuttle survivors to the mainland KNOWING THAT it would be HOURS before that boat or ANY other rescue boats could make it back to them .They run that route daily ferrying tourists back and forth. . Volcanoes typically don't belch once and call it a day,.typically that initial eruption is a catalyst for more to follow whether it's a minor one or another Tonga style volcano eruption...
ESPECIALLY WE HEN YOU ARE LOOKING DIRECTLY AT WHAT IS IN STORE FOR YOU if it does erupt again before more help comes...
The fact the rescuers WANTES to go back to help more people and the people in suits said no is disgusting. This is such a shameful day for nz and how it was all handled. Those poor people.
Not at all how it happened and it’s one thing to offer yourself to go and another to send other people into an eruption site
you have no idea
The helicopter pilot was fined too was he not?
@@s3ra9h1m yes he was and rightly so, if anything happened to him then essential resources would have to be diverted to rescue him.
His actions, nevermind their noble intentions, could have put lives at risk.
These guys going off by themselves actually caused a real delay in the rescue as search and rescue had to put time and resources into tracking who they were and what they were doing they all rightfully faced prosecution.
I was there with my mum 2 weeks before the eruption and we knew many of the guides who past away and most of the locals interviewed for the documentary watching this made me cry so much because of the pain of people who passed and survived are going through
Oh my ... That was one of the most saddest tearfull harrowing watches .. Bless each one of them from the survivers to the rescuers & the families of all involved 💔 and especially those that lost their lives 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 may you all be at peace.
Lesson learned here? No one should have been allowed to be on that island.
And like another comment said, its not even an island, its the vocalno itself and youre touring its crater
The tour guides could’ve decided not to take anyone to the site when it was at level 2. Money always wins. Blame them way more than the tourists that decided to go to an active volcano.
One of the most messed up parts of this documentary, was the scene of those in the boat who were in the party that had just left the island before it erupted. The volcano is erupting and every one of them is filming it, smiling that they're getting 'good' footage. Then they're told to hurry inside off the deck for their safety and you've got some of them literally get trampled as they desperately try to get more footage on their phone.
Humans are THE most utterly simple species on Earth, yet we're also the most intelligent.
@Johnny Longshlong I hear what you're saying, but most of them are recording for their own satisfaction and not for the purpose of documenting the event for the greater good. A couple of them seemed to be smiling. It wouldn't shock me if some of them tried to sell it to the press, but perhaps I'm being overly cynical there. I'd hope.
What a timing, just when Mauna Loa started erupting.
I sobbed at this documentary. Incredible. Thank you so much h for telling the stories of those who were strong and those who were weak and those who did not make it.
it had more to do with how close they were to the volcano. The teenage male recovered fast but he barely survived.
I really hope we get to hear from Stephanie, she's doing well now. Her dad & sister told her to just keep running. They are heroes. @1:06 is that Jessie Langford? He looks incredible! Thanks to the rescuers that day
Is Stephanie the one that was severely burned & wore a black full-face pressure garment to protect her skin from scarring?
@@ka8341 Her recovery has been phenomenally quick, certainly wouldn't feel quick. But with today's technology etc. She looks so amazing in such a short period of time! I can't wait to hear how other survivors are now :)
@@ka8341 thank you for the update! I was wondering this too I've been following Stephanie on social media for a while. I watched the 60 minutes interview with her about the volcano.
@@ka8341 I was wondering why she wasn't in it. Honestly that girl is such an inspiration to every, going through all that, losing her father and sister, having the worst burns of them all and still surviving and getting on with her life. What an incredible woman she is!
The Maori mans speech at at the end was moving and comforting. "...Whakaari has given her sanction, her consent, to have them there as guardians, kaitiaki for evermore. They take their place in time where they will never be forgotten"
Honestly that guy sound like didn't care about the victims
He only speaks about the tradition and trying to get back some tourism to the island
No a single word about the victims
@@AngelGarcia-td2ww the island is privately owne and closed to all public since the tragedy, so I doubt it was his motivation. it may also just be a cut out from a longer interview he gave. Different cultures have differing views on how to spiritually make sense of such a horrible day. It may be a mix of all.
@@AngelGarcia-td2ww I was thinking the same thing too.
Its comforting as an outsider but living here in N.Z, some Maori are known to be deeply embedded into their culture which unfortunately means they dont give a s* about other people except their own. When he stated in the interview that he cried as he saw the eruption ir something, he definitely ain't crying for the victims.
@@nostalgia9338 Thanks for sharing your view on Maori culture. Barrister Maoi Solomon: Maui says that for centuries, Moriori lived a “peaceful, pacifist life based on the teachings of their elder Nunuku, who banned warfare and killing.” This lasted for 600 years. They had no livestock like pigs or taro, which other Pacific Islanders grew. The volcanic islands have no native land mammals. It rains half the time and the average day was spent gathering nuts, seafood, hunting seabirds and seals. They used to harvest beached whales when they could. The language they spoke on this archipelago had a 50% lexical similarity to Maori.
In 1933, when the last known “full-blood” individual Tommy Solomon, died, many claimed that the Moriori were ‘extinct’. However, many descendants of mixed ancestry (European or Maori) sought to revive the culture.
Around 40 people in the Chatham Islands out of almost 780 people identify as Moriori, according to the 2013 census, with another 800 in mainland New Zealand. Maui points out that this emerged only in the 1980s.
“In addition there is a high estimate of 10 000 people who could have some Moriori ancestry in New Zealand and the diaspora, in Australia, the UK and elsewhere, so we have to set the record straight” Maui states.
Now, the Moriori are in the process of reviving the language and even have a language app (Ta Re Moriori).
They also have folklore about albatrosses, seals, whales and other animals. Maui also describes shark deities and a ritual where a beached whale’s heads would be severed and prayers performed to facilitate the deceased to go on to the afterlife.
He says that a great debt is owed to Hirawana Tapu, his ancestor “who left behind a written record of our history and culture so we have something to reference with and revive.”
Just like the descendants of Holocaust survivors, the Moriori continue to uphold their culture via long held memory and the culture lives on.
Human instinct and Mother Nature are the same we do things people would not believe unless you were there or possible. We are stronger then we know mentally and physically so proud 😌
Reading a book called “The Leading Brain” and it talks about how strong our intuition is. We have a feeling and our body is telling us something.
Your unconscious mind does the work before you even begin to think about it!
Watched it last night. What makes me wonder is, how come the authorities/agencies (geologist etc) did not warn the tourism agency on the volcano activity? Or were there is no records at all? This is something that can be avoided.
New Zealand is the only country on Earth where first responders are ordered to stand down from rescuing people who need rescuing, because H&S rules are designed to prevent insurance claims by first responders.
People died at Pike River because of this, when police blocked access to first responders to secure the H&S rules, and it nearly happened at White Island until first responders ignored orders and rescued them anyway. Those first responders are now in court facing charges.
WTF NEW ZEALAND
The documentary was well made. I'm amazed by all the survivors. I could tell the scars bother that one young woman. Hold your chin up. You're beautiful with a husband that loves you. Thank you to the men and women who did help these victims. Shame on the others that didn't.
This was an excellent documentary.
I only got to see this Island from afar. Too sad this tragedy happened. 💔
Thanks for covering the Whakarii/White Island disaster.
One of the saddest Docos Ive ever come across, Rest in Peace to the lost 22 🕊️
Yup that Irish doctor! Legend!
Great and extremely sad and tragic documentary.
Dios mío!!
Terrible lo que pasaron estas personas.
Me deja sin palabras.
Jordan Peele hit the nail on the head with discussing themes of capturing spectacle and attempting to tame nature in NOPE. That’s all I’ll say…
Truly horrifying experience for the survivors. I've seen the images of the burns. Cant put into words what that must've felt during the eruption. Truly sad for everybody involved.
This documentary really struck a chord with us and on hearing about the eruption in December 2019 directly affecting tourists. Myself and my now husband visited this island in December 2011. It was him who wanted to see the island and I went along just for the experience with him - I suppose I didn't put alot of thought into it and went along with the fact that if hundreds of people visited monthly it couldn't be that dangerous and that checks on safety were made daily🙈. How wrong was I when this is mother nature. This Netflix documentary is so poignant and the reality of what could happen putting so many people at risk. It's 90 minutes to get there and get back so makes it even harder to escape and get help if there is any issue and you are in the middle of nowhere. I spent practically the entire journey there being sick too which spoiled the whole experience and there were others - not sure this was highlighted to tourists at the time how bad the sea sickness could be. God bless all those that lost their lives and to the survivors who continue to rebuild their lives after such a traumatic event. My thoughts are with them all xx
It’s not an island with a volcano, it’s the crater itself that is just sticking out of the water. You have to sign a waiver to just be able to set foot on it and so the risks are communicated.
It’s no different than the risks you assume with activities like bungee jumping, skydiving, deepsea diving or caving.
This was a horribly tragic accident involving a number of incredibly unlucky people caught in an inescapable situation.
No I think you are wrong to compare the way you have because the true risks were never highlighted whilst it was at a level 2. Greed is what needs to be looked at!!! Not one thing was put in place if that volcano erupted, not even shelter and the owners knew how long it would take to save people!!! Worse still is that they are not taking any responsibility for it. So shameful!!!!!
Great point that its not a volcano on an island but the crater itself. Scary stuff smh. And yes incredibly unlucky people

Do you have anything to show that the risks were not highlighted while it was at level 2?
The only difference between levels 2 and 3 btw are in 3 it's actually erupting.
White Island is always at level 2 and no shelter is going to save you if you're there and it erupts, hence why there is a waiver that needs to be read and signed first before being granted access.
Thank you. These people are ruthless. They probably go to Yellowstone National park or cave diving or some sort, but call these people stupid to go see an island for an hour tour. Hypocrites and assholes. Mother Nature is everything and everywhere.
❤ I think of all the people who have died. and wish the survivors strength to endure. 🥺
In this documentary we hAve a lesson that if we help each other no one can defeat us the boy who lost his father mother sister such a brave boy and the couple and the other survivors are heroes.
When I finished watching this I looked up the article that was mentioned at the end. If you think what the survivors and rescuers described in the doc was horrific, it was a million times worse. What those rescuers saw and experienced… truly devastating.
Crazy how this is just now being covered a year or two after Mr.Ballens cover
I remember the active unrest of the volcano reported on Geonet growing more intense in the days leading up to the eruption and thinking 'how are people still allowed to visit it?' Most of the rescuers and helpers ended up being locals with many grabbing cling film from nearby shops and running to help. Awful tragedy.
Unrest from that volcano means nothing respectfully, having spent years going down to the bay of plenty near the island spending many days in plain view of it bumping up the level of that thing from 1 to 2 doesn't mean anything. Groundwater mixed with lava there was no way in preventing that.
@@luca5221 being from where this happened, I gotta agree cause they would've stopped yearssss ago.
@@emirachelnatalie3397 It was just unlucky
I watch this and was in tears at the end, so so sad
Moving and very powerful .
I just kept thinking why would anyone get that close to the volcano 😳 mind blowing!
Damn. I just finished my report about it a while ago. Something about the people suing the tour company.
Distressing but life-affirming documentary.
I went on the island for a school trip. Glad it didn't blow up.
New Zealand content on Netflix. Interesting
Shortland Street acted as a decades long form of aversion therapy
Now I've discovered THE BOYS, Taika Waititi and Marton Csokas, I'm increasingly impressed by the acting talent coming from NZ.
And Jacinda must be the most popular politician in the English speaking world.
@@paulleverton9569 shes the most popular dictator
@@dragomilosevic4823 you clearly don’t understand that word lol.
@@rachelcookie321 Im from Yugoslavia so no sit the fuk down
@@dragomilosevic4823 then you should realise how that is such a miss use of the word.
I'm Australian and had no idea 20 Australians died, I feel like they didn't talk about it that much afterwards
Really? It was so over the news and newspapers for days. There's regular updates from one of the survivors about her journey afterwards in the paper ever since. 60 minutes did a documentary. It got a lot of coverage.
@@lisab1856 I knew people died, just thought it was a few people not 20+
Just watching it. I was last month in NZ and loved every minute. Hard to handle....
Watched it last night, those commercial pilots were so brave, but i can see the trauma in their eyes
We didn't think it would be dangerous to walk up to the edge of a volcano. Unbelievable
As soon as they saw the lake was not the regular clear blue, everyone should have gotten back on the boats IMMEDIATELY. Couldn’t believe they didn’t turn the groups around when the lake was completely ash.
is that Jesse Langford? Wow, he looks great I remember praying for him and his family. Is Kelsey Waghorn in this? I think she was the only guide on the island to survive.
Very interesting story. Waiting to see this.
yeah the female tour guide is in this doc, talking about her experience.
Impresionante esto, pobres víctimas. Netflix debería hacer un documental de lo pasado en Armero Colombia en el año 1985 donde murieron más de 23.000 personas, la lava ardiente se trago la ciudad literalmente, nunca pudieron restablecer esa ciudad. Una niña estuvo 3 días enterrada de la cintura para abajo, camaras la filmaban mientras era entrevistada, no pudieron rescatarla.
I’ll never forget that image out of my head. Her eyes were bloodshot and black. Truly a sick way to go. Unby
😵😲😲😲
I just watched and I couldn't help it Ive cried a lot, I don't even know about that volcano, it's just happen I saw it on Netflix now.. Very very sad story make me really cry..
me mató la situación de Jesse, su hna y sus padres. Que tristeza!!!! Y al ver al final de la pelicula las consecuencias en su fisico.
I have just finished watching. And it’s amazing, just go watch it!
One thing I know about NZ disasters is the people are good but it's the bureaucracy that holds everything back. When disaster strikes, people do whatever it takes to sustain life but in NZ sometimes you need permission from an agency to cut down a special tree to access survivors like in Pike River Mine disaster.
Beautifully made. So sorry for all those families who lost loved one's. Those helicopter guy's... wow ❤️.. Loved the survivors interviews bar the American couple to be honest. Thankful Whakaari is now closed 🙏🏼. Rest in Peace to those who fell asleep that day 😪.
The American couple were weirdly annoying especially the woman. I just put it down to trauma. 🤷♀ 😐
the american couple survived hell, so its impossible to judge ones reaction in an interview when youve been through that....people react how they do....ive never been burnt in an eruption of any kind so i will not judge them....but i get what you mean....its good there alive and are getting on with it.
Totally agree about the American couple.. but everyone else exhibited courage beyond anything I could imagine..
i watched it today, and nearly cried.
They've already done this documentary. It was a 60 minutes Australia and it was amazing! Sorry guys, you missed the boat big time.
Never heard of it. Most stories have been covered, but unless it goes viral it'll reach more people on Netflix or Disney+.
Another perspective perhaps?
I watched that on UA-cam it was really well done!
Yeah but more people will watch this cos it's on Netflix
"missed the boat"... i see what you did there. Wow.
That looks awesome
What a harrowing experience for all involved.
This is such a sad story
