It would incinerate it without cleaning the Flue-gas, without temperature control necessary to insure destruction of most dioxins and furans, without fly ash filters to remove lead, cadmium, copper, zinc and so on, in a dangerous and instable environment that doesn’t allow for the removal of the 15 to 20% of waste resulting.
Active volcanoes are also not typically located conveniently near population centers.

Hmm, with the end of the Cold War, guess we can rule out an H-bomb blast. I guess it’s between this and a large vat of hydrofluoric acid….

Yeah I can’t see how that would be any different from incinerating the waste, it’s not like it would fall in and sink to the core of the earth, in fact most of it would burn up before it even touched the lava.

Hey Frank. Listen, we need something to add some perspective. Climb down and stand on that ledge down there. Yes, down there. Good lad, Frank.

But god’s still to blame if people fall in volcanoes, right?

A magnificent video, right up to the planting of the fu**ing flag. I cannot believe the authors of this fine video are so bereft of intelligence. As if that power of fire cares for any flag! They don’t get it.

You can insure against acts of God (or as they used to be called, acts of the Devil), you just need to purchase a rider for the specific act.

I misread it as “lava cake” and was sort of disappointed. That’s life.

Act of god is it not? If insurance companies have taught me anything you can’t insure against it, and no one’s liable for it!

the guy in the special heat proof suit should have planted a flag so we could watch it burst into flames…

Even allowing for the fact that the cameraman is standing way back and using a really long lens, that’s a scarily big and active lava lake to be standing near to.

I see from his site that he is claiming that MSN have used his footage without attribution and wont pay him for it.

Now I think LOTR didn’t make their cg lava awesome enough.

The scale and violence of the lava is unbelievable. I could not stand there with that pressing my “get the fuck out of there” button.

I actually know some people who live on Ambryn Island. I must find out if they are anywhere near this horror.

Amazing what a long lens on a foreground subject can do to the size of a background. :D

Once I found out Krakatoa was actually WEST of Java I don’t believe any of this stuff anymore.
