History Channel Mega Disasters - Yellowstone Eruption part 5 of 5

[ethusiasm]

we actually have a way to reduce the ash effect after the eruption. since the temperature will drop down, rainmaking could be easier.

[maria610421]

Yellow stone is HOLY STONE, Hell will not prevale against me. It is going to happen soon.

[godkingRoss]

well, i'm ready to eat some humans. looks like that could be the only way.... i bet we taste like chicken

[GreatPurification]

@godkingRoss this is your only comment I approved, it is, actually, quite funny ;)

[misterbeanladen]

@godkingRoss Actually it's very similar to pork. I would rather store up food so that wouldn't be necessary.

[GreatPurification]

@oogie69 again, fight to the end! Or...just take it as it comes and don't try to survive. Your choice. Give up or die trying. I will die trying! Get an RV trailer, stock up on dry food, head north to Canada! Then...see what happens at least

[HolySalmon]

If it blows up storring food, hunting will not help.

Fighting for survival would be pointless. Only if you lived outside North America would you be able to weather the storm if governments had enough time to build up stockpiles of resources, food, etc.

[GreatPurification]

@HolySalmon Always have hope, and be prepared to survive anything man! The people that don't survive these kind of things are the people that think "oh well, there's no way I'm going to survive this", you GOT to have hope and motivation to survive, all the way to the end!

[HolySalmon]

@GreatPurification it was.

I live in Canada. The problem will be the ability to produce food. as supply decreases food cost soars. Therefore, the rich will be able to buy and pay to protect their food, so work in the food protection industry and you'll be taken care of !

[docatomics]

...so why have you-all not tapped all this free energy to promote it's cooling & safeing while your at it ??? Perhaps the Icelanders will show you there ways ?

[abberline86]

Well if you want to prepare for this read the book "The Road" or watch the movie.

[Tmo985]

il's like a huge spot :/

[lio77744]

2012 i hope it does happen put everyone on the same playing field, figthing for survival

[BlakeTahoe]

if it blows we are just gonna have to suck it up...buy shitloads of gas masks,canned food,learn how to fight,hunt,etc with everything that could be used as a weapon and learn some basic emergency med...i dunno...im just taking advice from les stroud and bear grills

[qwertqwerqweq]

i  feel sorry for the vegitarians

[Heatblast667]

i live in canada and im 31300 miles away from it! Heres some info for ppl in the hasard zone when the volcano erupte's

if u see ppl moving (everone) then u should to the same to keep away from the volcano, move 100 miles away to be safe.

[RobertMfromLI]

If Yellowstone erupts as it did 2.1 million years ago, the best bet is to move to the moon or some other planet.

Really folks, a VEI 7 eruption 74,000 years ago killed 60%+ of humankind. a VEI 8 eruption like Yellowstone has done in the past ejects TEN TIMES more ash, lava and rock into the atmosphere and will probably leave few enough of us to carpool together.

So, dont worry, if they predict a super-eruption from Yellowstone, dont bother moving.

[DanielVolker]

I don't want to know when this thing goes off, I want to enjoy life with out knowing when I'll die.

[llamafreak1]

Phew! I'm glad it didn't reach Washington!

[masterland52]

It would be cool if bending elements existed than we could stop the eruption.

[pcaddis2004]

wow, I could have lived without knowing that....pretty depressing

[RatkoUSA]

Yup, and when it happens all our money will be spent on the global warming hoax, our industry, the only thing that can save hundreds of millions will be gone, and those unprepared and well armed will be finished off by those who will take them for whatever they have just to survive, or simple take them out even if they have nothing if only to remove the competition for vital resources. Good luck!

[jediforce64]

if this happens global warming will be no moer and al gore will be elated

[ScrewFearMe]

then global warming really has happend... thats one of the things that makes global warming if you really thing about it... hot lava ashes up in the air...cooling the atmosphere to up to 10celcius less is quite alot and thats not just at that place... its global

there was a snow storm in sweden in 95... maybe its because of the volcano eruption in 91

[cyberphysio]

How to prepare against super volcano . may be prepare to live in another stone age.

[WheatgrassWorld]

Hydroponic growers would do really well selling produce when this happens.

[groudon8]

I say it won't happen in our lifetime. I picked up some info on the Yellowstone website. The three eruptions occurred 2.1 million, 1.3 million and 0.64 million years ago. The two intervals are thus 0.8 and 0.66 million years, averaging to a 0.73 million-year interval. Again, the last eruption was 0.64 million years ago, implying that we are still about 90,000 years away from the time when we might consider calling Yellowstone overdue for another caldera-forming eruption.

[GreatPurification]

Your taking an average based on only 2 intervals! I just saw a presentation by Bob Smith himself last night in Bozeman at the Emmerson Culture for the Arts. He was updating us on the earthquake activity using an amazing powerpoint presentation. He also said, the eruption intervals are give or take 100,000 years, meaning we could be underdue, overdue, or just due!

[groudon8]

It's not me talking, it's the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. If you can't trust information from the people who are watching one of the biggest threats to humanity day and night, you can't trust anything. Than again, they also said

"First of all, one cannot present recurrence intervals based on only two values. It would be statistically meaningless. But for those who insist... let's do the arithmetic."

That was before the numbers I told you in my previous comment.

[GreatPurification]

Its not that you can't trust the information, its should be, you shouldn't trust the interval numbers and make an answer. Both people are wrong that say Yellowstone is overdue, and not ready for 1,000's of years. Because they're trusting intervals that are dynamic. We just know Yellowstone is in the "red zone" of eruption intervals, so we have to look at what is happening now, instead of making predictions.

[SlyDessertFox]

@groudon8 there were more eruptions though. In fact a whole whole whole lot more than those three. Those were just the two most recent.

[ouivalerie]

They already had over 500 earthquakes since December 2008. This thing is going to blow I say. And we are getting quakes here in LA now that are really loud

[Wulfenbach]

Yea I do agree this thing is really really scary, and nothing will stop the eruption, but i do wonder if it will be possible to stop, the ashes from going up in the sky with several massive counter explosions.

Like for example using russian vacuum bombs.

[oregoncoastman]

I think that we as people have it in our nature to want to fix problems. We have trouble envisioning a problem so vast that it is entirely beyond our ability to stop or even contain it. A supervolcano eruption is such an event. There is nothing that we as people can do to halt such a catastrophe or mitigate its effects on the earth. The only thing we can do is prepare for it as best as we can and hope for the best.

[Smilodonus]

You mean Implosions, Implosions from Russian Vacuum Bombs.

[TurkeyFarmer]

What the hey? You gonna go one way or another.

[msblackbeat]

This is straight scary!!!!

[kronoff317]

The guy they interviewed was on a fox news interview about yellowstone yesterday 0_o

[oregoncoastman]

You say this like its a bad thing. Part of surviving a disaster like this is to be prepared for it. One of the first steps in this process is making the public aware that such an event can occur.

[GreatPurification]

wow this is the REALEST comment I have heard! PROPS!!! Does anyone realize the first Yellowstone Supervolcano Doc was in 2000? Since then there have been 7! Everyone has touched it. History Channel, Discovery, BBC, 2020, National Geographic (twice), etc..

[styxpt]

at least would stop with global warming xD

[weareallanimals78]

Ummm Eklund....if that happens, "human oppression" will be exterminated. Even if you are in Europe, you will not be safe from the after effects.

[Eklund89]

i long for the day the earth will put an end to americas global oppression.

[Phil365ReadingFC]

too true

[garra1300]

Why is no one worrying about this? If you watch some doomsday countdowns most people think an asteroid or Global Warming could do us in. I don't care about that stuff. This seems more of a threat than any i have heard in my life. And i am scared. Mainly because of the earthquakes. But...it is normal though. So i shouldn't worry that much. Even scientist say that an eruption won't happen in the near future. Probably the reason people dont care.

[MutingSociety]

In the past few days there have been a lot of earthquakes in Yellowstone. Nothing catastrophic but they are worried that it could lead to something worse.

Check news sites for updates.

[THETRUTHSOHELPMEGOD]

Awesome, i cant wait until this happens. Maybe then people will stop talking so much about gas prices:)

[yourcamden]

It contains no history . . . at the time of the last eruption no humans could write because we had not evolved at that time.

So it should not have been shown on the History Channel.

Do you think Al-Qaeda should see this film?

[lemonshank]

how the fuck would al-qaeda cause enough activity to blow it up

[yourcamden]

I am not an expert in this matter, however if someone really did not like the USA they might try to bring it on.

[FuriKuri006]

You're a fucking retard and humans have been around for 2 million years so please, go kill yourself my good sir

[yourcamden]

So human beings have been writing history for two million years. I think not.

[Winnuting]

if it happened in the past its history. if people were around to write about it or not.

[yourcamden]

If it was recorded in writing in the past it is history otherwise it is paleontology or archeology.

[Winnuting]

this wouldn't fit into paleontology or archeology.

[yourcamden]

how about 'Geology'? Which is also not history, being a science.

[Winnuting]

Yes i'll go with Geology. - The scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the earth.

[gotthejedigroove]

look up yellowstone blast radius. I've been researching this for years. yeah, its about to pop. If you live in either of the surrounding states. i'd get the fuck out.

[supercooker2008]

the republicans will stop this....only libruls should die...obama is the antichrist....area 51 is packed with UFOs from mars.....and the easter bunny kills

[OddRobb]

The volcanic swarms of the Yellowstone Volcano are actually believed to be caused by hot water and gas not magma.Swarms of quakes much more powerful than the ones that occurred in December have actually been occurring naturally for thousands of years. In the mid 80's, the park more than 3000 earthquakes were measured over several months. Over 70 swarms have occurred since then. The most recent of these swarm were the 250 quakes that we experienced at the end of December.

[Boomer1949]

Thanks OddRobb, I was looking all over for information about the history of the earthquakes in Yellowstone. In this series they mention that there are hundreds of earthquakes a year in the basin.

[wuckwuck55]

i dont have toworry i live in new york

[OddRobb]

Actually if yellowstone erupted all of North America would be destroyed abruptly.

[wuckwuck55]

then id go to germany

[artnuwa11]

It would cause a black out of the sun, climate world wide would be effected. Just like the much smaller eruption in the 1800's caused famine in the Americas and in Europe.

[AmericanAirlinesRule]

If something is going to happen..I hope to get out of Colorado and as far east as we can.

[dlmaniac]

Much more scary than the tsunami stuff.

[directoreaglesbreath]

A sign of the times... Most even though they see this, do not want to acknowledge it even though it is crucial for survival in these times. It is like they are asleep at life... We are doing the same things with Water Watchers or eco doc series...

[puresickmermaid]

We live in interesting times, or maybe it seems that way thanks to youtube and cnn

[meleeluigi]

ahhhhhhhhh help me
