If there was, it wouldn't be a cataclysmic event.

And I thought it was bad that somebody noticed that in LotR: tTT, in one
shot a flower had 7 petals but in the next shot it had only 5.
Can you imagine sitting watching a film with somebody like that? It
would be like listening to fine music with a Quantity Surveyer...

We can try to stop them erupting in the first place. Alleviate the
pressure building up rather than letting it pop, drill tunnels close to
the chamber and fit slow-release valves to channel the gases along them;
identify and take out the 'key log' blocking it off so it pours out rather
than explodes. All possible just costs a lot of money and often requires a
decent warning period to allow the work to be done.

or it was spotted by a retired Spanish traffic warden, of course then
someone had to take the trouble of writing it up as if it was important ;-)

The show would be pretty short:
Host: "How can volcanic eruptions be fought?"
Prof: "Not at all."
Host: "Thank you for the interview."

It's been way too long since I saw that movie. I really ought to
rewatch it, just for these quotes.
