Schoolchildren Flee Mordor Eruption

[scorptatious]

One does not simply flee Mordor...

The weird thing is Ruapehu erupts all the time, Tongariro's a lot more docile in comparison.

One does not simply walk out of mordor.
well its very likely that the two neighboring volcanoes are linked underneath and the pressure from one has broke out in another that had weaker crust. (the one predicted to erupt had erupted this year previously which likely hardened its hole more than the mount doom had naturally.

Ruapehu, which was expected to erupt some time soon, is nearby - and is perhaps Mordor's more famous volcano. Ruapehu is Amon Amarth, Orodruin, also known as Mount Doom. At least, it stood in for Mount Doom in The Lord of the Rings.

Actually Mount Ngauruhoe was used as Mount Doom. Scenes on Mount Doom were filmed on Mount Ruapehu.

Okay, who dropped their ring of abominable evil and power into the lava this time?

Sorry. My bad. It's been building since I chucked my wedding ring off it a few years ago to celibrate my divorce. I have it on video. It felt good.

I still think it's weird that this was completely unexpected. Tongariro did erupt last August as well. Granted, after 115 years of being silent. Ah well, just shows how unpredictable it all is.

Holy shit... I've hiked on that mountain...

Same here.

I hiked the alpine pass of that mountain in March of this year.

Me too, last January. ^^

Its' a real tragedy: Two hobbits are missing, presumed dead.

I believe there's a hobbit search party going after them, not expecting anyhobbit alive :L
It'll be interesting to see if it actually erupts :L
