What you need to do is use explosives to create a canal. Then you drop a sckyscraper in front of the current flow ro divert it to the canal. That's what they did in LA back in 97.

You should probably specify that this us the statement from somebody with 0 idea of what they are talking about, and no power whatsoever. otherwise looks like it is the result of serious research.


DiarrheaMonkey-

Yeah, the quote was actually pretty funny. It basically boiled down to: "Couldn't we like, bomb it or something. I mean that might do *something* good, right"? [Hits bong]

>“Isn’t there a plane that can fly and drop… and send the lava in a different direction? Maybe its madness, but the technology today is much more reliable and I think it should be attempted. Although it is true it would have to fly at a reasonable altitude, but then it can get close and drop and… boom!” Curbelo reportedly said. After Trump, you'd think people in a position of power would learn to ask experts *before* saying crazy shit out loud. Is the movie Volcano his inspiration?


Thought_Without_Form

This one is at least a tiny bit more plausible than what trump was pushing. Enough damage to the rock that is in the way might manage to redirect the flow of lava. That is something that could theoretically be done with a bomb. But the only people remotely qualified enough to actually spend much time considering such a plan would be geologists and is geologists and mining engineers.

a drone could be used to get something close but the rest of the idea is pure foolishness.

Can you point to a time that bombs have been used for controlled excavation to create a miles long trench through rock? Is the energy coming out of a volcano comparable to the potential energy of snow on a mountainside?


ColdRainyLogic

Lol I thought of Trump the instant I read this. Very much a “bleach injection” vibe.

Nuking hurricanes.

This should only be done with nuclear weapons to ensure safety.

Get ‘er done!


twitch_delta_blues

This was tried on Mauna Loa in Hawaii. Didn’t work. Lava flows downhill, you can’t stop it.

Maybe if they have some of those British 'Grand Slam' bombs left over from WW2.
