Indonesia’s Mount Merapi’s eruptions – 2010
Music: O Comme Amour
2. Mount Merapi's eruptions -
2010
• Since its initial eruptions on October 25, 2010,
Indonesia's Mount Merapi continues to spew hot gases
and ash as far as 5,000 meters into the atmosphere,
wreaking havoc on surrounding villages and farms, and
disrupting air travel - and more than 140 people have
been killed by the eruptions over the past two weeks.
Hundreds of thousands of residents have been
displaced, many of them living in temporary shelters
until the Indonesian government reduces the existing 20
km "safe zone", and allows them and their livestock to
return.
