Scientists warn volcano
may cause catastrophe
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — An exploding volcano Saturday
triggered earthquakes in the capital and a huge fissure opened on one
of its slopes. Scientists predicted a catastrophic eruption and warned
residents within 25 miles to flee.
Mount Pinatubo has been erupting for a week, and each day the
explosions have become more severe.
Saturday the last 1,500 U.S. troops patrolling Clark Air Base, 10
miles away, were evacuated.
The U.S. Embassy Saturday announced that the families of U.S.
troops who were stationed at Clark would be, sent back to the United
States because of continued eruptions. T
"We are picturing a worst-case scenario,” said Ronaldo Arbolcda
of the Philippine Institute of Vulcanology and Seismology.
"The situation is really dangcrQus.”
“We do not want to cause panic but it is better to move out now
than later,” he said in a radio broadcast. “We arc not gods, but based
on our studies something not good is about to happen.”
He said a new fissure about 1.8 miles long had appeared on the
southern side of the volcano and that the institute was extending the
danger zone from 18 miles to 25 miles. That brought it near the city
of Olongapo, home of the U.S.-run Subic Bay naval base.
Seen by satellite, the fissure extends between two craters and has
raised the possibility that the top of the volcano might be blow off!
institute officials said.'
Despite these dangerous possibilities, Olongapo Mayor Richard
Gordon, however, advised the 200,000 residents of his city to stay
put for the time'being.
Subic spokesman Robert Coble said Saturday he was unaware of
any plan to .evacuate the base, which is 25 miles southwest of the
volcano and tfie largest U.S. naval installation in the Phillipines.
“We’ve had plans on how to deal with a volcano, but I do not
know of any such plan. What we have so far is a lot of ashfall but its
not dangerous,” he said. .............
Astronauts’ work down to earth
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) — Four of Colum-
bia's seven astronauts will Spend a dizzy week spinning in a rotating
chair, pedaling exercise bikes and zooming sideways on a sled now
that their shuttle is back on Earth.
Through the post-flight research, which continues Saturday, scien-
tists hope to learn more about the effects of zero-gravity during long
space flights.
“If we as a nation decide to continue to put people in space and
send them to planets, we need to understand what weightlessness
does to them,” said project scientist Mel Buderer.
The research required NASA to kill half the shuttle’s 29 rats and
many of its 2,478 jellyfish after Friday’s landing at this Mojave
Desert military base, said National Aeronautics and Space Admi-:
nistradon spokeswoman Jane Hutchison.
“They can provide information we can’t obtain from humans,”
she said.
Jellyfish organs that control their movement are similar to parts of
■the human inner ear that control balance. °
The astronauts and orbiter appeared in good condition after “a
great mission,” said space shuttle program director Robert Cripp6n.
“Machines don’t fly any better than that,” he said of the shuttle.
