When It Goes Wrong

White Island - NZ Volcano Explosion


Listen Later

Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this episode I discuss the explosion of the volcano - White Island / Whakaari in New Zealand in 2019. This resulted in the deaths of 22 people, and the aftermath of this incident is still being processed by New Zealand and the adventure tourism industry. I dive into what happened on the day and what is still happening now.
