16 people died?? lol wow never heard that fairytale before...
I have also heard the 3 deaths associated with the ocean entry.... a couple people were found dead when they breathed in the ocean entry plume (pulmonary edema, or swelling of the lungs, due to the inhalation of hydrochloric acid) in late 2000, they were on the west side of the plume
the other was on a bench collapse...

article does says 40 people have died within HVNP in the 10 years from 1992-2002, but Im sure many of those are traffic related on the hwy (as those count for HVNP stats), or hiking falls, crime, medical, or maybe Mauna Loa summit attempts w/o proper clothing/gear (ie winter storms) (??)
maybe someone can find the true numbers of lava related deaths
save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha
