Dense ash blasted out by the volcano shut down Guatemala City's international airport, civil aviation said. By AFPMore by this AuthorGUATEMALA CITY,At least 25 people were killed when Guatemala's Fuego volcano erupted Sunday, belching ash and rock and forcing the capital's main airport to close. The eruption of the 3,763-meter (12,346-foot) volcano sent ash billowing over the surrounding area, turning plants and trees gray and blanketing streets, cars and people. Dense ash blasted out by the volcano shut down Guatemala City's international airport, civil aviation said. A September 2012 eruption of the volcano saw 10,000 people evacuated, while another in February 2015 forced the closure of the capital's main airport.
