I hope they don’t hit a pocket of magma while drilling that deep - they may unplug it and set it off.
Doesn’t sound too bright to me, Drilling into the thing could set it off as opposed to the drilling giving them a warning before it goes off. If they do get the warning, how the hell do they expect to move Millions in a short enough time to save them.

The drill hole would seal itself unless the whole thing was ready to erupt anyway.
