Tokyo … News Time
Japanese experts warn that the outbreak of Mount Fuji will paralyze the capital Tokyo in 3 hours. The volcano last exploded in December 1707. By this time the ash had been removed for 2 weeks. The government panel has made a hypothetical outline, warning what effects it could have if the same scale of fireworks continued. It is estimated that the ash will reach central Tokyo and neighboring provinces of Kanagawa, Chiba and Saitama in just 3 hours after the volcano erupts. Even a small amount of ash will ruin the railway management system.
