Mt. Fuji may erupt within 5 years

Mr. Masaaki Kimura, an emeritus professor of the university of the Ryukyus predicts that Mt. Fuji may erupt within 5 years since 2014. He also predicted the eruption of Mt. Ontake, which erupted last year causing 57 victims. He told Mt. Otanke would erupt within 4 years since 2013.

His prediction is based on the volcanological scientific method. Therefore, it is not less than fortune-telling. If Mt. Fuji erupts, it would cause a disastrous effects on wide area including Tokyo. I wonder it would also affect Tokyo Olympic Games to be held in 2020 if it actually happens.

The government should cautiously examine the possibility and let people know the precise information calmly.
