The eruption is in the Philippines, then CNA interviews someone from Japan. A Filipino volcanologist could have provided better information about what's happening in Taal

If it really starts exploding and develops a massive column of ash and pumice .... when that collapses there will be pyroclastic flows that can travel across water! That's the worse case

Its hard to believe this news there are a lot of ifs the if it could if there is a possible if it would be if :c, they should have interviewed a Filipino scientist, they would say the ashe fell its in our lungs, eyes and mouth, people will die. So evacuation is a must, that would make a convincing interview.
