In 1936, George Buttle wrote a number on a piece of paper and bought White Island. Now his grandsons give evidence
www.abc.net.au
For the first time, the criminal trial over the deadly White Island eruption hears evidence from the three brothers who own the volcano.

Headline was pretty crappy so I used the second title on the ABC story.

    I haven’t been following this story past the initial tragedy, but how is any of this the owners’ fault? How have they provided an unsafe workplace? I read this and I still don’t get it.

    They have/had an arrangement with tour operators who pay them for permission to take tourists to the island. That part I get.
    Surely it’s the tour operators who should be asked safety questions, right?
