tf is this concrete shit just use some goddamn sandpaper to sand the fuckin mountain flat duh you motherfuckers is dumb af fr
Can we get this dude to be head of volcano NASA or w/e?
VASA
NAVA
finally, a sensible solution
As a politician I can assure you that if you vote for me I will put into law that volcanoes will be forbidden to erupt in our wonderful country.
And as a different politician I can assure you that if you vote for me I will fight for the freedom of volcanoes to erupt whenever and wherever they want. In fact, I promise a volcano in every household and quicksand in every sandbox.
Cause this is America. Where land has more rights than people voting.
The former president of the Philippines said that he will urinate on the volcano that was threatening to erupt. Lol
Dude just tape a cease and desist letter on the volcano. And if they still don't listen just get the cops to shoot it.
you must be American
Canadian. We have that problem too.
We learned it from Dad
That lava already has to break through literal kilometres of rock to get there. A few hundred (let’s be generous) extra meters of pourable rock ain’t gonna do shit.
But look at the picture, the lava is trapped.
What you mean? Cement stronk!
Not to mention the average normal size of an opening you’d have to plug to begin with. Even if it didn’t just drain down the hole or dissolve the moment it got to lava, it would be a ludicrous amount of concrete just to make a layer a few feet thick. Even if you did manage to make a plug a hundred or more feet deep and it didn’t melt or move, an eruption would likely just blow the mountain apart from around it.
All you'd need is ultra fast drying lava-proof concrete. I'm surprised no one has thought of that yet. Then once the crater vent is fully plugged you would just need to coat the rest of the mountain in the same concrete. Voila, problem solved.
I keep thinking about the big job we have ahead of us, paving over Yellowstone Park.
Just keep adding concrete until it works
I saw people on YouTube pour the cement directly into a hole they were filling. Should make it even quicker to not have to add water it can just mix with the molten rock.
Fools. You need to put ice in first so the concrete doesnt melt.
Even more foolish fool. Just dump water down the volcano. The lava source blocks turn to obsidian and are completely harmless.
Better yet - use helicopters to drop chunks of icebergs into the volcano to extinguish it.
I think this could actually be someone impersonating a famous mountain on Twitter, however, the account is verified with a Blue Checkmark, so this must be the real Mt. St. Helens then.
But how could this be possible?
Well now you have a very large cannon
Meh, the pressure will do the ball the way into space I bet.
We should launch rockets like this, would save on fuel.
I feel like we need to talk about how much heavy metal rocks.
Just going to need 14 trillion bags of cement from ACME
Block molten rock with wet powdered rock? Wcgw?
Clay, more or less.
Point towards enemy.
Would concrete even hold. I mean lava is molten rock and cement is kind of a rock. So wouldn't the cement melt before pressure could build up?
Most cements melt at a higher temperature than most lava gets to, so it would be solid chunks of cement getting blasted miles out when the pressure builds high enough to erupt
It probably wouldn't melt, but if you heat moist concrete it will spall ans crumble to bits before too long.
Yes. That's the joke.
Even if the plug would hold the volcano would just split open another hole in the earth and erupt from there
More job opportunities. Volcano hole filler would look great in my résumé.
This reminds me of when Trump suggested nuking a hurricane.
I feel like when the volcano does explode it's just gonna launch that concrete plug like popping a pimple.
Tens of thousands of tons of rapidly fragmenting concrete being launched into the upper atmosphere - cos what a major volcanic eruption needs is extra shrapnel
Big problems require big solutions.
Let's test this theory on your colon...
Just add several layers of cement all around the area you want to save. Then, it'll either be someone else's problem or lava landberg.
