People with in the blast radius will be escaping to somewhere.
- Robotbeat 9y agoThe blast zone is pretty much just in 2 or 3 of some of the least populated states in the US. The US has plenty of land area. Magma (lava, in this case) is not a real concern for an eruption of this type, and you'd have to be nearly in the caldera to get anything like 100ft. You'd want breathing masks, just like is already used in places that see regular eruptions. And crop failure in the Midwest is the major concern. Methanotrophs solve that. The US has plenty of room.

- strictnein 9y agoIf we're not using the midwest for crops there's a lot of room there. Just in general, even in the most populous states, there's lots of room.
