It began with a plume of brilliant white smoke, billowing silently from the volcano's rugged crater before mushrooming into an ominous black cloud. By the time their tour guide had yelled at them to take cover it was too late for newlyweds Matthew and Lauren Urey.

I love all these people who claim they love nature until it bites them in the arse. The same people will then claim they want the safety of Disney World.

I can imagine the Ambulance-chaser adverts on local TV, looking to sue everyone from the National Park Service to Smokey the Bear.

I have been to Yellowstone, Mt Lassen, and Mt Shasta. I understand there is a risk one of those could blow. I assumed the risk.

I would suspect that they had to sign somewhere to go on this excursion....

its horrible what happened but if you're going to see an active volcano, expect the worse...

I wonder if they signed a hold harmless agreement ? ...

Entering into an active volcano area seems pretty stupid.

Looking at the photos, they both got really messed up.

"claiming the cruise line ignored warnings"

Didn't the couple ignore the same warnings? It's not like they did not know the volcano was there

Horribly disfigured.

But think about what a great story it will be to tell their grandchildren.

Lauren: Can we get a little closer to that steaming molten lava dear?

Mathew: Sure, why not, what could it hurt?

Yes. Everyone AT Yellowstone Park can sue, and their cases are already ruled on as a win. The ashes of the dead Park visitors can collect the ashes of the money at the giant mound of ash formerly known as the MIDWEST.

The guy is an engineer, and they let the cruise company “do the thinking for them”.
