Watch: Mexico's Popocatepetl Volcano Spews Out Ash, Gas and Vapor

Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano still hasn't calmed down. The volcano keeps spewing ash, gas and vapor into its surroundings, and local authorities have no choice except remain on alert.

The footage above was posted online this July 11.

It was recorded by a Mexican navy pilot who flew his aircraft so close to the volcano that he managed to catch both Popocatepetl's crater and the seemingly endless stream of ash on camera.

People living close to the volcano say that, now that Popocatepetl is unusually active, ash has made it all the way to homes and office buildings.

Apparently, it was only last weekend when they woke up to find that their cars had been covered in volcanic dust.

The volcano's name translates as ?smoking mountain,? specialists say. Judging by the show that Popocatepetl has been putting on these past few weeks, there is no denying that the name suits it just right.
