There's a section on NBC's website for primetime shows being developed for the 2008-2009 season, and one page is devoted to Top Gear USA. We found its description intriguing....

No much information has emerged yet today. The Buenos Aires VAAC reports continuous ash emission. Height is now reported at surface to 20,000 feet. A recent update forecasts increasing plume height. Perhaps some new seismic data has suggested buildup of activity. The previous forecast had sustained the steady-state of recent days, with plumes around 20,000. No [...]

That plume of smoke trailing a missile-shaped object that was flying over River Rouge Park on Friday night and Saturday afternoon wasn't a UFO or some illegal fireworks. It was a rocket launched by kids who may become future astronauts, engineers or rocket scientists.

The latest Buenos Aires VAAC update indicates “continuous emission” from Chaitén resumed at 0900Z (5 1/2 hours before post time). The ash plume is difficult to discern on visible or infrared imagery, as heavy cloud has swept off the Pacific at mid and high levels, and the ash is mingling with it. Some wavelengths do [...]
