"Impossible Task" A young man scoops volcanic ash from his roof in the decimated village of Bilbao, Ecuador, a town near the active volcano of Tungurahua on August 17, 2006. The weight of the ash destroyed the two churches of Bilbao, caving in the roofs. Lava rocks the size of baseballs came raining down on communities located near Tungurahua. The people of Bilbao have been forced to live in another village.
