i sure wish Spider Man was aruond when we needed him, spidey sence sure would be handy.
Probably the craziest volcanic eruption that I've ever heard of was Mount Krakatoa found on the island of Rakata in Indonesia. An eruption in 535 sent enough ash into the atmosphere that it reduced the amount of sunlight that got through, dropping the temperature by several degrees celcius. Also, the Bubonic Plague was suspected to be directly related to the eruption of Krakatoa.
More recently, in 1883, there was an eruption that destroyed two thirds or Rakata, dramatically darkened the sky for days afterward (for anyone that has seen the painting 'the scream,' the red of that sky was said to ressemble the colour of the sky in Norway after Krakatoa), it sent concussive air waves around the world seven times. The blast was so loud, that people heard it in Austrailia(2200 miles away).
The eruption created a new volcanic island, and its growing at a rate of 5 inches per day, pretty quick for an island eh?
anyways, i thought all this shit was interesting...
