What Happens If This 50-Mile Time Bomb Explodes in The US?

Deep beneath Yellowstone National Park lies a 50-mile-wide ticking time bomb capable of unleashing an explosion 1,000 times more powerful than Mount St. Helens. With a massive magma chamber holding a lethal recipe of silica and explosive gases, a modern-day super-eruption would blast 1,500°F pyroclastic flows at hurricane speeds, obliterating 90% of life within a 60-mile radius. As a suffocating blanket of jagged glass ash spreads up to 1,000 miles away — choking out the sun and triggering a global 10°F temperature drop — scientists face a terrifying reality: no known technology can stop it.
