Gotta Watch: When volcanoes erupt
In today's Gotta Watch, we're looking at the awesome power of some of the planet's most active volcanoes. From the easy-to-pronounce Mount St. Helens to another whose name you best not try to utter unless you're sitting down.
Mount St. Helens – On May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens erupted, becoming the most destructive volcano in United States history. An earthquake and subsequent landslide triggered a series of eruptions and a massive ash cloud. The blast was reportedly so powerful it was felt as far away as Canada. The eruption claimed the lives of 57 people and injured many more.

Eyjafjallajokull – Often refered to simply as "the Icelandic volcano" due to its tongue twister of a name, Eyjafjallajokull wreaked havoc for international travelers for the better part of a week back in 2010. At its peak, the crisis affected 1.2 million passengers a day and 29 percent of all global aviation, according to the International Air Transport Association, becoming the worst disruption of air traffic since the September 11 terrorist attacks back in 2001.

It killed hundreds of people and displaced more than 200,000. The Indonesian volcano's recent eruptions released about 140 million cubic meters of magma, the National Agency for Disaster Management said.

Pompeii is now a major tourist attraction and is considered one of Italy's most important archaeological sites.Â

Love to see that massive eruption Mama! Cc;u r ss
Really good stuff!
You think this is good, wait 'til you see the Must See.
was in Spokane when the ash cloud hit, don't want to go through that again.
Ash on your body is good for you. It makes you a whole lonely new human race in itself yet to be classified as; inferior or otherwise. Civil Rights Laws will be inapplicable to you. Sadly, you will be on your own and lonely. Think about it, you might scare the neighborhood dogs and kids. Hah, scarily isn’t it. You might need Dr. MLK to organize and picket for you. He died a long time ago.
IF YA SMELLLALALALAOW!! What The ROCK ... is ... COOKIN' ...
Yet no mention of Kilauea on the Big Island! The longest continuos errupting volcano in the world!
Amazing place to hike!
I love Volcanic eruptions.
That's the few times we realized we're defenseless and powerless against nature reshaping or remapping the earth we greedily claims to be ours according to her own will. Regardless of how we as people have allowed some pigs or some faith to deceitfully divide us as one race; we used to be ONE human race.
FACTS UNDISPUTED: Just look at the map of the World and how with no education at all you fit or piece them together like a puzzle. Not that the color of your skin is dependent of you geographic location to mother earth.
Well at least the silver linnig of tonight is that Lawler got to have, what I imagine, was an amazing orgasm.Lest us not forget that an hour and forty minutes of that Raw was terrific, which is pretty amazing by current standards.You are all wonderful, a +Rhodes to every one of you.
Article on Volcanic eruptions just before Doomsday on the 21st! Coincidence? I think not!
Pi ss off
Yes, IceT, it is a coincidence. Back to SVU with you!
Volcanoes are so cool... never been gladder to be a Geology major!
We used to be a glob of goo too, so what. If you like ash so much then stick around for when the super volcano at yellowstone blows and you'll get plenty of ash.

So you like to see a person get angry and then you throw up a CNN page about "erupting volcanoes" and the first comment is what you said to me "see, see. you are sick, sick." Who sits around and thinks up the best untraceable harassment, masking it online? You do things that are beyond average human understanding so that any description of it is complicated and sounds like paranoia. How are you going to achieve respect for your purposes if you disrespect people?

You ask the questions and give the responses as well. I won't point out where your name comes from because maybe some lonely, scary, inferior person will forecast that many "coincidences" in a row are just manipulation.

Where's SVU? You're close to revealing who "Ice" T is, but you're the cold one. I did not bother about things like surveillance until it was at my door, and in my newspapers and all over my computer. If you're really a "good guy", be good.
What mattered, matters.
And now there is Vulcan eruption in Iceland again. Another tongue twister. It looks like it's at GrÃmsvötn
