King Iago III (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Abdullah_II_Cropped.jpg/200px-Abdullah_II_Cropped.jpg) Perishes In Volcano Accident

Kensington, EU - It was a standard day for the Eurasian monarch, who had been travelling over the Strait of London to the southern island of the nation on a nationwide tour, when a tragic accident struck. The aircraft was flying at low altitudes over the strait, when Mt. St Thomas, named after Sir Saint Thomas More, erupted, causing molten-hot magma and pyroclastic debris to strike the plane. Thanks to skilled piloting, King Iago III's (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Abdullah_II_Cropped.jpg/200px-Abdullah_II_Cropped.jpg) plane avoided the early debris. However, lava spurts destroyed the right wing, causing the plane to plummet into the Strait of London.

Sir Phillip Sinclair (http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/462/presidentofeurasiamq5.jpg), the Prime Minister, declared a week of mourning for Iago III. He will be succeeded by his daughter, Hemali IX.

The Slavic Federal Republic of Jaredcohenia wonders how any geologist in Eurasia was unable to determine if the volcano was going to erupt soon. We blame the death of King Iago III of Eurasia on the nation of Eurasia. Should they have been studying the activity of Mt. St. Thomas, which would've shown activity if it was near eruption or going to erupt. Also, a volcano does not erupt with magma. Rather, when a volcano bellows out lava. Again, it seems to the Slavic Federal Republic of Jaredcohenia and the Coheningrad University Department of Geology that this incident might have been avoided if the Eurasians knew a thing or two about geology.
