Nov 18, 2008 - fuck it i want it to erupt then i can go on a rampage
zand3r08 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - It will erupt of course but it will only be half as big as the original eruption. Unfortunately it will kill hundreds of millions of people and animals worldwide but don't worry as it won't happen for another 11,500 thousand years.

Nov 18, 2008 - i doubt that will be a supererution, cuz GOD won't let this happend!
darkwatersasuke Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - that kinda incorrect. Its not sulfar that will kill you it the ash. Once inhaled it will mix with mosuiture in your lungs creating a heavy cement like substance and you will drown

Nov 18, 2008 - fuck lets go pollute england those bastards have good life or austrailia
darkwatersasuke Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - i hope you realize how retarded your statement was. If it exploded now you would be dead within a few mintutes idiot.

Nov 18, 2008 - GOD??? hahaha
davidhlusko Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - ash and sulphic acid. the acid blocks out the sun and causes an ice age about 1k years. the ash will kill you because the ash and moisture is like glass and blocks out your lungs aftyer awhile

Nov 18, 2008 - hmmm you seem pretty sure... the thing is we CANNOT predict these things exactly. it could be 10 years(ok maybe a little early i admit) it could be 100 it could be 10.000 WE JUST DONT KNOW but we know 1 thing for sure: IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN SOME DAY!
smortx Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - at these times im happy i live in holland ^^ far far away from scary america (though it will get better now obame is gonna be precident)

Nov 18, 2008 - Come on.... if ou think that god will protect you from such a natural catastrophy or you are an ignorant or a lunatic !In a less important scale there was an eruption at Tambora (Indonesia) in 1815. It was classified n° 7, acording to the VEI (Volcanic Explosivity Index), in a few words a super-colossal eruption (that happens roughly every 1000 years or more). Mega-colossal eruptions like in the case of Yellowstone happen every 10000 years.
nikychib Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - So acording to the scale there is a risk and god won't be there to prevent natural catastrophic events just like he won't be there to prevent the mega tsunami (from the island of La Palma) that will blow up the atlantic coast of the USA.Scientist know very well that such events occur in the history of our planet the only thing they don't know well it is WHEN ? ( To ancacool17 )
ancacool17 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - i trust God if it happends, it happends if isn't, isn't!!
ancacool17 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - i don't understand y you always have to be negative y if it not happend?? i heared about cataclisms but who knows if might happend, if might happend then i'll think it will be over 1000000000 years later LOL
nikychib Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Well surely it will happen but the clue is when will it happen, 100 years, 1000 years, or even more.Taking Yelloswtone for ex. if geologists see the danger the main problem will be the evacuation.As well as for the mega tsnunami, the authorities will have to evacuate millions of peoples within a few hours (5 or 6 at most). And I am sorry if I misunderstood you : I thought you were saying that such things won't happen because god won't allow it to happen.
ancacool17 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - i realy like to learn about volcanoes, they are interesting and dangerous. but i still don't get it how Mount St Helens erupted in 1980 scientist were expecting a vertical eruption, and it came on horizontal. hm... maybe it's because the solidifed old lave from long time ago..
ancacool17 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - ooops i meant "lava" sorry for this XD
ancacool17 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - hm..

Gamesframe Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - its already 3000 years over due for its next erruption..
davidhlusko Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - idiot sulfar has to be in the air which if inhauled will kill you...creates a yellow haze and will create ice age.(if there is saulfur in the air)
