Lets hope they don't take anyone else WITH them during the qualifying
trials for a DA

The prediction now is for a much bigger eruption than originally

would strongly discourage sightseeing trips in the area.

One of the things that really bothers me is the crowds of people that
have
come to see the mountain. They are sitting in the middle of literally
miles
of downed trees: trees that have all fallen in a direction away from the
mountain. Hardly a blade of grass grows there almost 25 years after the
blast. Yet they think they are far enough away to be safe. They don't
seem
to get a clue from the total devastation that surrounds them.

I know scientists don't expect another eruption like 1980. Well, they
didn't
expect it in 1980, either.
