A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/o9bz8yj . .Tokyo: Sixteen people remain unaccounted for on a still-smouldering Japanese volcano that erupted at the weekend, as a typhoon looming off the coast threatened to further delay the stalled recovery operation.
.It is the first time an official figure has been put on the number of people missing since the volcano roared to life, and comes on top of the 47 people whose bodies have been removed from the peak of Mount Ontake.
."The figure is based on information from people searching for the missing," a Nagano prefectural official said on Friday, adding that the number may be revised later.
.The volcano continues to belch steam and poisonous fumes, making a section near the crater inaccessible, despite the presence of hundreds of well-equipped troops, police and firefighters
.Rescue workers have spoken of up to half a metre of thick, sticky ash smothering the slopes, with some of the dead found half-buried, leading to fears others may be entombed.
Heavy rain forced rescuers to abandon their search of the mountain on Friday, while a gathering typhoon looked set to batter Japan over the coming days, a further reminder of the country's vulnerability to the wrath of nature.
. snip .Typhoon Phanfone is predicted to slam into Japan with strong winds and high waves this weekend or later, the meteorological agency said.
.That could force the recovery to be put off for days, heaping anguish on the families of those still missing, who are gathered at the foot of the volcano.
.Autopsies have revealed that hikers, many of whom had been enjoying lunch at the peak in the autumn sunshine, died largely from injuries caused by stones hurled out in the initial explosive eruption at up to 300 kilometres an hour.
