I hope they don’t hit a pocket of magma while drilling that deep - they may unplug it and set it off.

Well, considering Pliny the Elder went over in a small boat to watch Vesuvius erupting and then lost his life doing so, maybe sometimes a guy thinks he knows what he is doing, but...

"Scientists plan to drill more than two miles below its surface to monitor any signs of a pending eruption in the huge chamber of molten rock, but some experts fear that the drilling itself could trigger an earthquake or eruption."

Drilling down into a magma pool? Here, hold mah beer.

A hidden "super volcano" near Pompeii threatens an eruption that could make Vesuvius look like a picnic One as impressive as this simile? That's quite a spread. /s
