Description
Dismembered bodies, people screaming, and a village buried in the mud. Colombian William Suarez still vividly remembers the horrors of the 1985 eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano, but he is convinced that this time it will not explode, contrary to what the authorities warn. Like him, many of the 57,000 people living in the danger zones around the volcano refuse to evacuate despite the government's request and the orange alert that has been in place since March, when the number of earthquakes inside the crater rose from 50 to 12,000.
