that's the one, saw the show on discovery or national geographic the other night, was quite an interesting if frightening prospect.
Fortunately for Paranoiko, the north of La Palma is extinct and it's only the volcano making up the lower half which will fall into the sea, causing problems to the west, probably not the north/north east. This may happen tomorrow but it could be another 300, 600, 2000 years before it does happen |
i saw this documentary yesterday on Belgian television. quite a frightening prospect, to say the least.
what happens is there is water inside the mountain, and when the volcano erupts the water heats up and expands because of the magma, causing the rocks to break. this happened already during its last eruption about fifty years ago.. a crack appeared and the lower part went down 4 metres.
if the whole flank was to collapse entirely, several billions of tons of rock would land into the sea, causing a tidal wave with a height of about 650 metres heading west towards the entire North-American coast.

I know that more than 90 times the people killed on 9/11 were killed with this. You must however look at all the facts. 9/11 was caused by man, this was natural. On 9/11 3,000 people were killed, but they were AMERICANS, these are 3rd world people, they are not as valuable as Americans, if you use the ratio that I use, of 1 American to 10000 of these "dirty" people, then you can plainly see that 9/11 was a MUCH greater tragedy, and this event barely deserves mention. |
Dumb, dumber.....
