Did you hear about the great volcanic eruption Jan. 15 that ripped undersea waters near Tonga? It was just a week ago. A volcano so powerful the explosion sent a sonic boom zipping around the world twice, it's boom being heard as far away as Alaska, it's ashes contaminating 21 beaches in Peru. It created a plume of ashes and gas sky rocketing 34 miles up in the air.
How powerful the explosion? As powerful as six million ton of TNT -- more powerful than any nuclear test bomb ever. How powerful, did you say? The explosion carried a force 500 times more powerful than the nuclear bomb that rocked Hiroshima, Japan.
Such news should have screamed at the top of the world's newspapers. Funny thing, it only received limited coverage.
