    Different type of volcano. Etna is a composite sheild volcano. It is built like a composite volcano (St. Helens, Montserrat, Pinatubo) but flows and erupts like a sheild volcano (Hawaiian volcanoes). Composite volcanoes erupt explosively but not on the scale of this German volcano if it were to erupt, the German one is a caldera volcano (much like the one under Yellowstone). Not really a volcano as such but a weak point in the crust where magma can form chmbers and build serious pressure. The shoddy jouralism here compares this caldera one to Pinatubo if it erupts but in reality if this baby blows Pinatubo will look like a fieworks diplay in comparison.
    Closer to describe this eruption would be the eruption of Krakatoa, the damage radius would be much bigger than on the map they provide.

    Wouldn't need a bail out as we wold be free from the 6% interest rate. Also England owes Ireland more money than Ireland owes England. Strange but true

    The bigger problem is that the blast will destory the hardon collider thingy under Switzwerland. If that thing goes up won't it take out the entire western hemisphere?

    Yeah, I'm sure you'd be fine. I'm sure you must make billions selling Kiss Me I'm Irish T-shirts and selling guns to Columbia.
