“Some people within a radius of 8-10km from the summit crater of Mount Agung have not been displaced.
“They feel safe because the area was not damaged during the 1963 eruption. They will evacuate if it is dangerous.”
All it takes is a change in the wind and the hot gases will sweep over them in seconds and roast them all.
“Roast them all.” Like the poor people on the island of Martinique in San Pierre who were incinerated when a big pyroclastic flow swooped down from Mt. Pelee, only 4 miles away, in 1902 and killed over 30,000 people in 3 minutes. Then again a few months later, when despite warnings from the scientists at hand, the government cut off the relief subsidies that refugees were receiving. Many were forced to go back home near the mountain and another 2,000 were killed when it turned out the scientists were right.
