Incredible Footage Of The Volcanic Cloud That's Causing Flight Chaos Around The World

Wouldn't it kewl if the ash could helped cool the world though?

Oh, well, I'm just trying to be positive.

Is he referring to Yellow Stone?

<_<;;


God I hope not....

well i dont mind that ash in the air. airplanes are not allowed to fly in the nederlands. so im enjoying the silence XD

We definitely have a problem on our hands if that sets off Yellow Stone!

"Yellowstone Caldera is one of the largest and most active calderas in the world. The spectacular geysers, boiling hot springs, and mud pots that have made Yellowstone famous -- and even the strikingly beautiful Grand Canyon of Yellowstone through which the Yellowstone River plunges -- owe their existence to the tremendous volcanic forces that have affected the region during the past 2 million years. Cataclysmic eruptions 2.0, 1.3, and 0.6 million years ago ejected huge volumes of rhyolite magma; each eruption formed a caldera and extensive layers of thick pyroclastic-flow deposits. The youngest caldera is an elliptical depression, nearly 80 kilometers long and 50 kilometers wide, that occupies much of Yellowstone National Park. The caldera is buried by several extensive rhyolite lava flows erupted between 75,000 and 150,000 years ago."

As you can see, Livordie, I wouldn't worry too much about Yellowstone. Though the statistics say another eruption could happen, the large spans of time shown above makes the likelihood of another eruption there in the next, say, 50 years or so, very unlikely. Most likely the quakes and such are just cyclical events that we've only recently started paying attention to.

These types of disaster shows we see on the Discovery channel in the last decade or so always try to make the dangers of these things seem greater than they really are. You rarely ever hear them mention the ODDS of these things happening anytime soon. They don't want to focus on the numbers.

Aren't they thousands of miles apart? And wouldn't the release of pressure in one sort of make it less likely for another anywhere nearby to erupt? I really don't see this becoming a chain reaction. I think people have been watching too many end of the world type movies and are adopting stupid theories. So many comments about 2012 on those youtube links, makes me want to slap a lot of people.

I hope nothing happens.

Seismic activity could trigger an eruption I think, or possibly some well placed drills and explosives. I think that the seismic activity would counteract the drop in pressure.

Anyway, if you get worried about this kind of thing don't look up La Palma (in the Canary Islands) and Mega Tsunami.

Now stop trying to scare people with that nonsense. That's just as bad as those jerks on youtube trying to freak people out. Quit it.

I don't think that it's likely that the island is going to erupt anytime soon (despite the fact that it's the most active of that chain). And even if it does the claims of the original researchers have been disputed. Apparently the supposed giant crack that half the island is sitting precariously atop is about half as large as originally supposed.

I'm doing a final project which involves trying to predict volcanic eruptions based on satellite imagery, so I've been thinking about this kind of thing a lot.

OHNOES!!!!!

The entire Raw roster is stuck in Europe!!!!!

Only HHH was in America

[Supernaut]

Don't worry, YHWH has it all worked out. The pres wanted a sign...
