Most of their "incidents" are really non-incidents.
If you lived where it was happening you wouldn't even flick an eyelash.

Reports circulating in the Kremlin today are saying that Russian Air Force Commanders have issued warnings to all of their aircraft to exercise “extreme caution” during flights “in and around” an area defined as Latitude 17 North [North Atlantic Ocean] Latitude 3 South [South Atlantic Ocean] to Latitude 8 North [Indian Ocean] Latitude 19 South [Indian Ocean] between the Longitudes of 46 West, 33 West, 46 East and 33 East, and which covers the greater part of the African Tectonic Plate. The reason for this unprecedented warning, these reports state, are the rapid formations of “geomagnetic storms” emanating from the boundaries of the African Tectonic Plate that due to their intensity have caused the loss of two major passenger aircraft during the past month leaving nearly 300 men, women and children dead. macedoniaonline.eu...

A few more since the above June report
Sunday 5th July 2009
Mayon Volcano, Philippines
There are signs of unrest at Mayon Volcano in the Philippines after an increase in summit crater glow has been observed. This is caused by a rise in magma levels at the volcano. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology has also recorded an inflation of the volcano. Alert level one is maintained at Mayon volcano and residents and tourists are advised not to enter the 7 km radius extended danger zone.

Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
An orange night glow has returned to Halemaumau crater at Kilauea volcano in Hawaii. Three days ago a collapse in the summit temporarily blocked the vent. On Thursday night (Hawaiian time) lava level rose in the vent and consumed the debris which was creating the blockage. Lava continues to flow through tubes to the coast, entering the ocean at Waikupanaha and Kupapa`u. Surface lava flows are visible on the pali adjacent to Royal Gardens subdivision. No incandescence has been recorded at Pu`u `O`o crater on the east rift zone since 12th September 2008.

Chaitén Volcano, Chile
Eruptive activity continues at Chaiten volcano in Chile. Over the past week there has been a decrease in earthquake number and magnitude, with 17 earthquakes recorded per day. Ash emissions rise 1.5 km above the summit. A lava dome continues to grow in the summit crater, which may collapse generating ash and block flows in the adjacent valleys. Dome growth is mostly in the western side of the caldera. Adjacent valleys contain ash deposits which may mobilise in heavy rains, causing lahars. Chaiten volcano remains on alert level RED.

Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
A collapse occurred at the summit vent in Kilauea volcano, Hawaii on 30th June. The collapse occurred at 1:38 PM (Hawaiian Standard Time) Tuesday afternoon, and blocked the summit vent. The event produced a brown plume, booming noises, and ground shaking which was felt at Hawaii Volcano observatory and Jaggar Museum. Between 2:30 PM and 3:30 PM, a section of the floor of Halemaumau Crater collapsed, widening the west rim of the summit vent. By nightfall, the evening glow from Halemaumau vent disappeared. Recently the night glow has attracted crowds of tourists at Jaggar Museum which overlooks Halemaumau crater.

I saw a graph last week somewhere of the history of volcanic eruptions - and how many this year compared to others. I am still looking for it. Will post it - if/when I find it.
