North Korea have reached out to the West and asked them for help in preventing a potentially cataclysmic volcanic eruption from occurring, after one of world’s most dangerous volcano’s began rumbling again recently. Mount Paektu, a 9,000 foot volcano on the border between China and North Korea, last erupted in 946 AD – causing one of the world’s largest eruptions in the last 2,000 years.
The ongoing radioactive leak problems at the Hanford Site, a nuclear storage tank in Washington State, are nothing new.
We first wrote about the ongoing radioative leakage at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, created as part of the Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb, in 2013.
A leak in a massive nuclear waste storage tank at the Hanford Site in Washington state has expanded significantly. Thousands of gallons of radioactive waste leaked at the Manhattan Project-era storage tank over the weekend. The expanded leak was first detected after an alarm went off at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation on Sunday. On Monday workers were preparing to pump the waste out of the troubled area and try to determine why the leak became worse.

The following shocking drone footage of the aftermath of Japan's earthquake cluster this weekend (from Thursday through Monday, more than 500 quakes shook the region) shows the scale of the damage wrought. As one comment noted, "it looks like a Godzilla movie," but sadly this is very real as Satoshi Matsumoto, associate professor at the seismology institute of Kyushu University, warned the ground underneath the island cracked unusually easily, which could allow one quake to cause others in a cascade, spreading them through a wider-than-usual area.
