Supervolcanoes are certainly a major area for concern, but probably pale into insignificance when compared to flood basalts such as the Deccan Traps in India, that formed around 65,000,000 years ago. I suspect these may have been triggered by the Yucatan asteroid impact that was approximately antipodal to it at the time, and together they would have been responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. Asteroid impacts in the sea will also generate megatsunamis that make the December 26th 2004 event in South East seem small in comparison. These would swamp many coastal areas and eliminate many island nations, especially in the Caribean Sea, and the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Cat adjs still waiting on that Big One to hit California and like todays media stories bigger is better. Afterall if there werent 50 deaths a day in Bushieboys fake neo-con war then the news is boring yada yada yada. All those yellow ribbons on vehicles are laughable.
Even if millions were killed it wouldnt matter just bring on the Big One so we can get pocket full of money. We trust it will happen long before some bogus super volcano erupts. Put that on par with Bigfoot being found.
if u think about it how do we know that it happens ever 600,000 years obviously ti didn’t since its been 600,000 years, but its not like earth runs on a egg timer. 600,000 years ago if there was prehistoric man on this planet they were playing with sticks and stones…we have advanced in technology so much that the effect of an explosion like this wouldn’t be as drastic. The western portion of north america would be effected immediatley, but in long term the world would be effected wiht drastic temp. drops, but let our offspring worry about that

How about if we all get a seat in the yellow submarine?

Methinks that this documentary has already been shown in the states, as I’ve already watched it.
It Yellowstone ever blows it’s stack, I’d like to see who’s left to take the claim report … lol.

i think its stupid that the program was only on 4 to days
There are two shows that deal with the Yellowstone supervolcano. One is more a 1 hour documentary on the National Geographic Channel. Next airing for that show is 03-28 @ 3:00 PM EST. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/channel/ET/weekly/200503271500.html
For the docu-drama the BBC & Discovery Channel produced, it will be on in the states on the Dicovery Channel 04-10 @ 8:00 PM EST. http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/supervolcano/supervolcano.html

This is natures version of Super Sizing!
Then we don’t need exclusions. If there are any of us left we aren’t going to be worried about getting an insurance claim covered.

The damage caused by American foreign policies and wars against humanity is far more dangerous than this super-fantasy of the BBC!!
