hàng chục khách du lịch và hướng dẫn viên thiệt mạng hoặc bị thương khi hòn đảo núi lửa phun trào năm 2019. Thảm họa này được cho là vi phạm quy tắc an toàn tại nơi làm việc của New Zealand

More than four years after dozens of people (hàng chục người) were injured or killed in a devastating volcanic eruption (núi lửa phun trào tàn khốc) on White Island, off the coast of New Zealand’s North Island, victims (nạn nhân) and their families have been awarded a total of about 10.2 million New Zealand dollars, or roughly $6.2 million.
Speaking at the Auckland District Court on Friday, Judge Evangelos Thomas ordered that reparations (tiền bồi thường) be paid to victims by three New Zealand tourism companies: White Island Tours, the helicopter company Volcanic Air Safaris and Whakaari Management Limited, which owns the island.
The volcano erupted on Dec. 9, 2019, killing 22 people and injuring 25 others, all of whom were on tour groups as members or guides. Seventeen of those who died were Australian citizens.
Witnesses at the time described the eruption as resembling “a nuclear bomb (bom hạt nhân) going off,” according to RNZ, the country’s national broadcaster.
In a statement after the sentencing (phán quyết), Steve Haszard, the chief executive of WorkSafe, said that the events had changed “our national understanding” on the requirements of businesses to keep people safe.
