645: Ghost of Austin

Iceland Volcano Seismic Activity and Media Fearmongering

Reports of seismic activity at Iceland's Bardabunga volcano are compared to the 2010 eruption that grounded European flights. A producer in Selfoss, Iceland, provides a report stating that the magma is deep and not currently a threat, contradicting the "fearmongering" tone of CNN's coverage. The hosts recall how the 2010 flight grounding was based on flawed computer models rather than actual ash density.
