Yeah, I saw some of the other vids (the Roku didn't turn this one up on the search) and heard that detail. I hope they were wearing really strong sunblock.

[Tourists hiking on the crater floor. Not the place to be when things go BOOM!]

They could have MP3’s of “Learning to Fly” (only this time, literally)

When Mt. Saint Helens erupted it sent temperatures down in the area by 2 degrees on average for a while. I wonder if the Climate Change people will try to suppress temperature measurement from the area. After all, to then a half a degree is a cause for trillions in spending.

Particle forcing from space/sun and volcanic activity is pretty much ignored in climate "scientists'" equations. How convenient. The small amount that is part of the equation is attributed to man on the side of the equation.

So, not only do the "scientists" ignore vast amounts of data, the also lie about human activity by manipulating data that are "acts of God" from outer space and the core of the earth.

That’s what I just heard reported. With all those gases being released on a tiny island created by the volcano, 50 could be a low estimate.

From the various reports I've read there were ~50 people on the island when it blew. 23 were rescued and 5 of those people have died. If that is accurate that leaves ~27 unaccounted for.
