Mt. Sinubang Volcano Awakens After 400 Years
The volcano had been pumping out smoke all day Saturday and panic could have been averted had the alert levels been raised in the area surrounding Mt. Sinubang.
Although the Indonesian archipelago lies on the Pacific "Ring of Fire" and has at least 129 active volcanoes, Mt. Sinubang had not erupted since 1600 and no one really knew anything about it. Then again, no one really knew anything about the devastating tsunami that hit them in 2004 either.
