Mud volcano could wreak havoc for 30 years say scientists
Updated
Scientists studying Indonesia's infamous Lusi "mud volcano" says it continues to pose a threat to more than 100,000 people and could keep flowing for another 30 years.
An eruption in 2006 in a densely populated area of East Java spewed scalding hot mud, which destroyed 11 villages and claimed 14 lives.
Scientists say there is no end in sight to the devastation of the mud flow, which continues to fill the equivalent of 50 Olympic-sized swimming pools every day.
