I find this stuff fascinating.


It was 2 kilometers tall and it just up and disappeared. Well not disappear, it submerged.

I agree. Mother Nature is amazing. I did not realize that the shock wave went around the world twice…

I've watched a few reports on it now. Most interject a shitload of pinko commie global warming bs.

I thought this reporter did a bang up job keeping the report to facts.

Maybe I missed it. Are you saying the volcano was 2000m tall and the eruption displaced all the above-water material?

Yes, the way I understood it from the bottom of the sea floor to the top of the volcano above the water was 2000 ft.

What was above the water was not insubstantial, and most of it disappeared (collapsed down into the ocean)

That seems to be what they're saying. Until they can get in and really look, no one knows. All that material that was above the ocean's surface just isn't there now. Some of it went up and some went down.
