Pain, Reflection as New Zealand Remembers White Island Volcano Disaster

Phil Mercer

   SYDNEY - New Zealand is remembering victims of the deadly eruption of
   the Pacific island nation's most active volcano a year ago. Twenty-two
   people died when the White Island volcano exploded on Dec 9, 2019. Most
   of the victims were Australians, while American tourists were also
   among the dead.

   Two of White Island's victims -- New Zealand tour guide Hayden
   Marshall-Inman and 17-year-old Australian Winona Langford -- have never
   been found. Langford died along with her parents. Her brother Jesse was
   the only family member to survive the eruption.
