20-25 dead. They have only said 5 so far, but 20 odd missing on island. ~20 with severe burns and major trauma. NZ burns service close to being swamped. widely circulating photograph of a helicopter hit on the ground - bent its blades to almost pointing to the ground.
This is what getting caught in a pyroclastic cloud does.

Round about CBC headline to a BBC article saying initially 5 dead of the group (23 total?) evacuated at the time of the event.
It seems besides smoke and ash there is toxic things in this mix...
Hope no one has friends family in the incident..

Dare I suggest that going onto an active volcano on a small island with no means of escape and nowhere to hide/shelter is not a terribly smart thing to do...
