Chile Llaima volcano revs up

Jul. 10 - Chile's Llaima volcano, one of the most active in South America, spewed pyroclastic rock 1,300 feet into night skies early on Thursday, scaring residents a week after lava shot down one of its sides.

Chile's National Emergency Office said the explosions occurred at 3:20 a.m. Local authorities said they were evaluating further evacuations from around the sparsely populated base of the volcano.
