21 April 2012 Last updated at 21:52 ET Help People living on the slopes of the Popocatepetl volcano near Mexico City are watching with concern as the volcano spews ash and burning rocks.
Columns of ash have been shooting from more than 60 openings in the crust of the 5,450m (17,900-foot) volcano.
The authorities have raised the alert level and have planned evacuation routes and shelters in case of a large explosion.

(3,747 posts)it takes several minutes to cross the city and reach the airport. I wonder if some of the citizens have ever been out of the city itself. They have an excellent transport system though and I would think of leaving if I could.
