Etna eruption kills six as tourists flee crater edge
Police closed trails and cable cars at Mount Etna after a fatal eruption that killed six Italians and injured more than two dozen. Witnesses described rocks exploding from the crater as crowds of tourists, mainly from Britain, Switzerland and Spain, were escorted down from the rim. An Italian woman remained in critical condition with a skull fracture among the hospitalized. The eruption follows a period of heightened activity atop Europe’s most active volcano during the past weeks.
