Lightning Strikes on Active Etna | Phoenix News

A Kansas hiker, 29, died after being struck by lightning on Mount Etna — Europe’s most active volcano — just days after the mountain itself caused flight disruptions. Despite emergency crews reaching him by helicopter, he was pronounced dead at the scene. Ironically, more people have died from lightning on Etna than from its eruptions — the last volcanic fatality was in 1987. A chilling reminder of nature’s raw power.
