This article by Austin Ramzy is about the eruption of Mount Kusatsu-Shirane. This eruption caused avalanches which injured soldiers and skiers nearby. Many people were hit by rocks and injured.
On Tuesday January 23, 2018 Mount Kusatsu Shirane Erupted. This killed and injured soldiers and skiers. This Volcano had not erupted in over 3000 years and had no recent activity which led to this being a big surprise. This eruption caused avalanches which caused 7 military soldiers in the avalanches. This required them to go to the hospital. The ministry of defense said that later that day one of the soldiers did die. Ten people were hit by rocks, 5 were injured seriously and 5 others were injured from debris that broke the windows of a gondola. It was made sure that this was a volcano eruption which also means that his volcano could erupt again in the near future. For this reason access to the area near the volcano has been restricted for safety reasons.
Took place at Mount Kusatsu-Shirane. 100 miles northwest of Tokyo on January 23, 2018. There is no specific reason for this happening. There was no activity before to indicate that the volcano would erupt which did not give the people a warning. This all was a surprise. Due to the fact that the last eruption was 3,000 years ago there was no pattern to indicate this would happen. This event was not as bad as it could have been. Although it did take the life of a person only a couple of people were injured. This event could have been much worse where it could have taken the lives of more people. I will comment on Dylan Lewis and Jeremy Ong's Blog Posts.
