A powerful explosion and fireball were generated, rising more than 2,000 feet after a mud volcano violently erupted in Colombia. This occurred during the evening of February 25th, damaging a road, a water treatment plant, and causing livestock deaths. By the time the eruption was over, what I estimate to be around 7 acres had been rapidly covered in a thick layer of mud.
