An Army soldier climbed over a safety barrier at a viewing area of the Kilauea Caldera and fell 70 feet into the volcano’s crater.
Three things to say about this: 1) Why did this man climb over the safety barrier? What did he think it was for? Did he absolutely need to get a better view? And of what? Which brings me to 2). The photo in this article is from 2018. The volcano blew itself out last year. It is not active. There are no eruptions now. There is no lava. News sites would rather dredge up an old photo, which can be misleading but more exciting. Anything for a better story. 3.) We wish the soldier, who had been in critical condition but now is stable, a good recovery. We also wish him wisdom in the future.
