But there was a wife, who, as the newspapers, then wrote, he did not inform the upcoming event to not worry her. Fortunately, everything went well, and the young man put a dive record – 60 m. Suit weigon over 200 kg! Diver, put it, turned out to be completely closed with metal armor, but at the same time he could move freely shoulders, elbows, wrists and knees.

Through smoke and flames

This stratovang is considered one of the most active in the country, the last eruption occurred in early June of the current year. Fortunately, usually everything costs without destruction, although the Terrible name seemingly should talk about the opposite (Fuego in Spanish denotes "Fire").
