Incredible footage of volcano erupting over city

Mexico’s Popocatépetl volcano spewed ash 432 times yesterday in an incredible display of the Earth's might and power.

Authorities warned the public not to approach the volcano or crater due to risk of falling “ballistic fragments.”

Located in central Mexico, the volcano erupted suddenly late Monday morning.

In just a few seconds, the volcanic plume reached altitudes of up to four kilometres and was visible from Mexico City, only 70 km away. Ashes have fallen on several localities near the volcano, but no major injuries or damage have been reported.
