Dukono Volcano Update; Deadly Eruption Occurs, Its Largest in 400+ Years

Описание: Disaster just struck, as multiple fatalities occurred due to the largest eruption of the Dukono volcano in nearly 400 years. However, all of these deaths in my opinion were 100% preventable, and I will discuss why via my knowledge and analysis as a geologist.

Note: Close up footage of Dukono was recorded by trained professionals with many years of experience who specifically obtained permission to enter Dukono's exclusion zone. Under NO circumstances should you ever attempt to get as close to this volcano while its exclusion zone is still in place!

So remember, do not ever go within a volcano's active exclusion zone, including the active 4 km exclusion zone in all directions around Dukono's erupting crater!
