Will we ever have a Red Adair style Volcano Firefighter?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) April 17th, 2010

Red Adair was the famous firefighter who took on the worst of the oil-well fires and put them out. He was legendary for his bravery, snuffing out the fire then moving in and capping the well to stop it from spewing oil spray and gas.

The ash cloud from the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland has now tied up air traffic worse than any previous event in history. Sure it’s a very big dream, but isn’t it time we start thinking about how to cap an erupting volcano? How might it be done?
