Home > News Shots > World newsMost of us have been lucky to not face any near death experience, but some of us are not. Some tourists had to run for their lives to save themselves from a volcanic eruption.
Few tourists were enjoying their day on the southern Sicilian coast in Italy encountered a volcanic eruption. 19-year-old Elena Schiera from Palermo, Sicily, shared the horrifying video on her social media.
She told CNN, “We were sailing at a safe distance as per the ordinance when all of a sudden we heard a loud bang and saw a large black cloud spewing out of the Stromboli crater and pouring into the sea.”
“We immediately increased the speed of the boat to the maximum, even though, being a sailboat, the speed was still limited. Then the cloud arrived at sea and began to advance quickly towards us. At that moment the panic broke out because we had the cloud a few meters away from our stern, but thanks to my father who was at the helm we managed to get away just in time because then the cloud started to rise again,” Schiera recalled.
