Five more bodies found on Japan's Mount Ontake after eruption
Five more lifeless bodies have been found on the slopes of Japan's Mount Ontake, bringing the total number of presumed dead in a volcanic eruption Saturday to 36.
Twenty-four bodies still remain on the mountain, while 12 have been recovered, identified and pronounced dead, Nagano Prefecture Police said Monday.
The search for more missing hikers has been suspended due to dangerous conditions at summit. Hydrogen sulfide gas is being spewed from the mountain, police said, putting rescuers in danger.
The volcano in central Japan unleashed a huge cloud of ash late Saturday morning that billowed down the mountainside and engulfed hikers in its path. Witnesses described hearing a sound like thunder when the eruption began.

This just comes to show how dangerous our world can be with out guns, knifes and other man made weapons. I'm sure mother nature doesn't mean to destroy people's life's but this has been a cycle that's been happening long before we existed.

Even the natural world can do so much harm and it's terrible. Praying for the families of those who lost a loved one.
