Volcanic eruption in Guatemala: 75 killed, many missing

in many •  6 years ago 


On Sunday, the mountainous slopes of the volcano were buried in volcanic ash and mud. In the blast, volcanic ash rises up to 10 kilometers in the sky.

More than 17 million people have been affected by volcanic eruptions. Of these, three thousand were removed from their area.

On a volcanic eruption again on Tuesday, new heated gas and molten rock came down on the south side of the volcano. The rescue operation was hampered.

Many of the new volcanic eruptions are surprised because volcanic experts have said that after the Sunday volcanic eruption, there will be no uprising in the near future.

Eddie Sanchez, head of the National Institute of Symposium in Guatemalan, thought there would be no eruption in the next few days.

Chief of the Disaster Management Agency (Conrad) Siriha Cavanias said that 192 residents of villages and towns around the volcano are missing.

No warning has been issued to remove people before Sunday's upheaval, he said.

Kabanias said locals were trained in the state of emergency, but they did not get even when they came out of the volcano 'piroclastic flow'.

The swarm of hot gases and volcanic springs, which are known as 'piroclastic flows', quickly descend from the slope of the volcano and consume several areas including El Rosaeo and San Miguel lot laudas.

Pyroclastic flows are very dangerous for people living around the volcanic mountain. Flowing down from the volcanic eruption Its speed is almost near the passenger commercial aircraft, maximum 700 kilometers per hour.

In addition, the gas and molten rock in pyroclastic flows may be heated from 200 to 700 celsius. If someone falls directly to this path, then the chances of survival are very low.

In 79 CE, the volcanic eruption of Italy in the volcanic eruption of the pyroclas came down, which was destroyed under the Roman city of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
