Today is the one year anniversary of the White Island volcano eruption, the disaster that took the lives of 22 people.

As rescuers desperately searched for survivors, questions were being asked about why tourists were even allowed on the island when the alert level had recently been upgraded.

Today we speak to someone who was there on the day and a lawyer who is trying to help the survivors close this chapter of their lives.
