Indonesia Reroutes All Flights Around Erupting Anak Krakatau Volcano

|Updated:

Indonesia on Dec. 27 raised the alert level for the erupting Anak Krakatau volcano to the second-highest, and ordered all flights to steer clear, days after it triggered a tsunami that killed at least 430 people.

A crater collapse on the volcanic island at high tide on Saturday sent waves up to 5 meters (16 feet) high smashing into the coast on the Sunda Strait, between the islands of Java and Bali.
