the sky above Sicily. A BBC journalist and camera crew were caught in the huge explosion on Thursday. ‘Lava �ow mixed with steam – caused huge

She reported an estimated eight people suffered head injuries, burns, cuts and bruises. ‘An amazing 78 year old lady was very close – but safely got away,’

Ms Morelle tweeted. ‘Incident could have been worse – explosions like this have killed – but seems minor injuries for now. ‘BBC team all OK – some cuts/

bruises and burns. Very shaken though – it was extremely scary. ‘Running down a mountain pelted by rocks, dodging burning boulders and boiling steam –

not an experience I ever ever want to repeat,’ she added. Italian news reports say scientists investigating the recent eruptions were injured when magma

spewing from the volcano hit snow, causing an explosion. The Catania operation center of Italy’s volcanology institute con�rmed Thursday that members of

a team taking measurements on the active volcano had been injured, but had no details on the numbers involved or the seriousness of the injuries.
