Gallery Japanese Firefighters Recover Bodies near Erupting Volcano

Plumes of smoke and ash billow from Mount Ontake as it continues to erupt for the third day in Otaki village, in Nagano prefecture, Japan, Monday, Sept. 29, 2014. Mount Ontake erupted shortly before noon at perhaps the worst possible time, with at least 250 people taking advantage of a beautiful fall Saturday to go for a hike. The blast spewed large white plumes of gas and ash high into the sky, blotted out the midday sun and blanketed the surrounding area in ash. Rescue workers have found 30 or more people unconscious and believed to be dead near the peak of the erupting volcano in central Japan, local government and police said Sunday. (AP Photo/Koji Ueda)
