A helicopter Pilot testified in court that he and two passengers jumped into the ocean to escape a volcanic eruption in New Zealand in 2019, which killed 22 people. The pilot said the water saved them, while two other passengers who didn't make it to the water suffered serious burns. The eruption occurred while 47 tourists and their guides were exploring White Island. The Royal Caribbean cruise ship "Ovation of the Seas" confirmed that some of their guests were touring the island. The pilot stated that he thought there would be warning signs before the eruption. The island's owners and tour operators have pleaded not guilty to charges.
