- Sicily’s Mount Etna is one of the world’s most active volcanoes, but scientists say eruptions aren’t the only major threat posed by this smoldering peak. According to a new study from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research, Etna is slowly sliding toward the sea, raising the prospect that it may suddenly collapse and trigger a massive tsunami that could devastate the region around the eastern Mediterranean Sea.

Mount Etna Is Sliding Into The Sea. It Could Be Catastrophic | Mach | NBC News
Who's here after it has just erupted
Me
If it does collapse into the sea it could be the worst tsunami in history. The worst ones ever have been due to land collapsing in the ocean, not earthquakes.
Sophia Bogard The Cannery Islands pose a threat to the Eastern U.S. sea board.
Not much of a risk when you research fully. It would be worse for areas closer.
And I just live in the city south of Mount Etna.. great
Time to move....
Authorities: "Dont worry they will tell you when to move"
Me: do you think so?
Move
i hope you’re okay after what just recently happened if you’re still living there
My family who lives in Italy live north of Etna
It's Typhon he's coming back to get revenge against Zeus
Best theory ive seen yet
There is no God only idiots that people worship like this Christ character or Zeus for that matter you want to believe in something believe in yourself.
Yes lmao
Honestly tho I think that might be accurate ...😨
And do you think that the second angel is about to sound as in "... and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;..." That would be one spectacular event.
That’s why I’m here.
The Etna is 75 Kilometer wide at its basis. It is 3450 meters high.
It's kind of strange that scientists still talk about gravity. Isn't it?
Why?
Why?
No gravity along electromagnetism and the strong & weak nuclear forces are what control the entire universe. The laws of physics ya know.
It’s like a giant pimple that is getting squeezed at the bottom. The head will pop.
Wonder if it's sliding toward that giant magnet known as CERN.
That would indicate it's composition is magnetic or iron. It's a volcano so that's highly unlikely considering it's made of volcanic rock and ash.
Video above is the Starship test flight from SpaceX, comments below are about Mt. Etna sliding to the sea.
What a way to start the week ha!

2008 ≠ 2017
none of us will actually experience this in our lifetimes people. I'd wager caution against news broadcasts that spread drama and fear about this.
WHICH WAY IS IT SLIDING EAST WEST NORTH OR SOUTH?
the new video's out have info on this,, i can't really remember,, the info is there,
It is not going to disappear at once.
It is because Etna should have been extinct for hundreds thousands of years, instead is still active, surpassing by far the average lifespan of a volcano. But it's rock is still ancient, so at certain point it rots. And the volcano start to fall in pieces. But we will never see a St.Helens like landslide in the sea, anything like that. It will fall in pieces, little by little.
"so at certain point it rots"
-Huh? How does a volcano _rot?_
@@corcon6976 stone crumbles and weakens with age. The older layers below are the first to crumble. With time all mountains turn to sand. It's very unlikely though that the entire mountain would break loose and slide into the ocean miles away.
If you are going to cite the 1980 eruption of St. Helens you should've noted the bulge that preceded the collapse. IF a similar situation is going to develop, we will have a substantial warning at least a month ahead, and very possibly several months. I'm also confident that the good geologists and civil engineers of Italy, and Sicily particularly, are aware of and tracking shifts or changes in the land like uplift or subsidence that precede an event like this. We can calculate useful estimates of when the friction holding all the rocks and strata will be overcome by its weight and become unstable. I'm not implying we can know exactly what that is, I don't think we have a perfect picture of the structures inside the whole mountain, but we can plug in ranges of values to find minimum necessary conditions. Worrying about this happening is a poor use of insomnia time, which is saying something 😂
As if Italy is not already dealing with more than any other country....
Sicily, island of Italy
It's the end of days☹️, where is Arnie??
what? who is that??? don't joke about end of world, no joke
NBC? Okay, not believable...
Welp there’s my volcano project
Same

Ditch the music so the narrator can be heard.
Is mount etna erupting now 🤔
Rashelle Kroes yes it is
Cathy McGowan yup
A lot

Lol you people are always wrong. U don't know what's real.
Fear Mongering..
@Ty haha,,,,, hey u said it,, i just agreeing.
Does it make you afraid? If not how is it fear mongering? Seriously facts just scare those to stupid to understand reality.
I would love to take in sicilian and italian migrants
