Dramatic video of volcano erupting in CENTRAL JAVA, INDONESIA


Indonesia’s most active volcano, Mount Merapi, erupted early Friday, blasting huge clouds of smoke, sand and ash 5,500 meters (18,000 feet) into the sky. The sudden eruption was accompanied by a rumbling sound with moderate to strong pressure. Villages on the slopes within a radius of 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) were forced to evacuate to an emergency shelter at an army barracks or other designated safe places. Experts said it was a phreatic eruption, caused by a build-up of steam and water heated by underground magma.
