  1. Come on to the US. Border is wide open. Bring us your hungry your poor your huddled masses yearning to steal our homes and dollars. We have plenty of expensive hotels and you pay nothing, absolutly nothing, for the rest of your and all your relatives lives. Give us your mental, evil, depraved, people that you country does not want.

  2. Are the plumes 4 to 5 miles high or 45 miles? The fact that Steve doesn't realize that what he's saying makes no sense ("distance from here to Anaheim"?) is disturbing, and shows he or his handlers didn't carefully read the copy before the broadcast. 45 mile high plumes are just 17 miles short of the Karman Line, outer space – the volcano hasn't gotten that bad, yet. 4 to 5 miles makes more sense, and that's probably closer to Studio City.

  3. I hope they'll be alright.

  4. God’s judgement will destroy the guilty of Mexico, amen!

  5. That is without a doubt the dumbest advise you could ever give people. Wait until $#!+ hits the fan before you act… just imagine if we handled every emergency this way?

  6. Ora sii crieen el teremoto el ano pasado tanbien

  7. Might want to put those masks on,Nimrods

  8. Raise taxes to combat volcanic warming in mexico city and the volcano will just disappear, also, ash and lava wont hurt those who have the covid battery of mystery serum injections.

  9. My family lives in Mexico City 🥲

  10. The Pacific Northwest has been having earthquakes, and this as well? YEah I think we all need to be watching!

  11. Those aliens are at it again

  12. I never knew Mexico city had that many people. The poor and homeless have to really be suffering from the ash fumes…

  13. Good! They can all go south, farther away from the US . Keep moving south .

  14. More people that will use it as an excuse to come to America. Yay! We are no longer the US we are the United States of South America. Yuck.

  15. Hopefully animals make it and the bad apples don't

  16. Seems everyone harkens back to Pompeii and Herculaneum being buried by Vesuvius in A.D. 79, but neglect to mention the more recent disaster of 1902 where a pyroclastic flow from Mount Pelée destroyed the town of Saint-Pierre, Martinique, killing 28k people.

    TRUST !!

  17. Get out while you can .

  18. You guys are stupid. Always think you can play God. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. IF POMPEII HAPPENED IT CAN AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. SO ARROGANT FOR NO REASON…… SMH

  19. Oh boy here we go where they going to evacuate to the Texas border???

  20. Albuquerque seems to have been hit with some kind of medium yield nuclear blast. I felt the earth shake and looked at satellite and huge cloud was seen billowed from N.Mecivo and then disappeared. Storm clouds don't do that. We know military is using them to GENOCIDE Americans because they are insane evangelical.

  21. Jesus is coming back these are just signs Repent.and Transform

  22. The Cartel is finally getting the karma they deserve. Its been long overdue.

  23. She is why I don’t watch NBC or ABC or xyz new stations anymore all the hyper voices

  24. Well I mean there can't be that many people left in Mexico since Biden just gave out country away

  25. The Mexican Govt plans to evacuate millions to Texas , when the volcano erupts…millions will come to America! Including the cartels and armed bandits…..the United States needs to prepare for this exodus of people coming here…..

  26. how is it that cause its a big city being at 45 miles south east means it is not at 45 miles¿¿ I dont speak english but is not that ridiculous¿¿
