The "worst case eruption" for Taal

"[T]here are cases like in 1965, 1911, and 1754, where the explosion would be somewhat lateral, and volcanic fragments can travel at speeds of 60kph across Taal Lake and reach the mainland villages."

Phivolcs director Renato Solidum warns of a worst case 'eruptive style' should Taal Volcano erupt anew as he explains one key difference why its recent activity presents more immediate danger than what happened in Mt. Pinatubo in 1991.
