YELLOWSTONE VOLCANO ERUPTION: Monster blast will
‘TEAR OUT guts from America’
The Yellowstone volcano could force planes travelling
over Wyoming, Idaho and Montana to "suddenly nosedive"
threatening the lives of passengers in the event ash is
blasted into the air from the super volcano below, a
documentary revealed. Yellowstone volcano is the
biggest natural disaster threat facing the US and
scientists are in awe of its potential destructive force.
Fears of Yellowstone roaring back to life were heightened
following the release of a report outlining the risk of
supervolcanoes erupting in the near future. The report,
dubbed Extreme Geohazards: Reducing the Disaster Risk
and Increasing Resilience, found a 10 percent chance of a
supervolcano somewhere on Earth erupting by the end of
the century. In the wake of the dire volcano report, renowned
physicist Dr Michio Kaku warned Yellowstone volcano is an
untamed beast waiting to let loose across America.
