Video: Huge volcano erupts, shoots giant ash column in Ecuador

(NOTE: VIDEO IS MUTE) Residents living near Ecuador's Tungurahua volcano have been advised to voluntarily evacuate after an increase in activity created at least three moderate explosions and ash fall on nearby villages. The first explosion generated a column of ash that reached two kilometers (1.24 miles) in height and fell over various communities, among them the tourist city of Banos. A third explosion generated a column of ash nearly five kilometres (3.1 miles) tall.
