|  Ecuador Volcano Tungurahua Erupts Ecuador's Tungurahua volcano spewed molten rock on Thursday and a local mayor reported one person dead and 60 missing as authorities evacuated hundreds of families from the threatened area. Local television showed images of molten rock blasting from the volcano's crater and massive clouds of ash. "We have recovered the body of one man," Juan Salazar, the mayor of nearby Penipe, told local television. "We have 13 people hurt and they are hospitalized." Tungurahua, about 80 miles (130 km) south of capital city Quito, had shown a sharp increase in activity in July, causing hundreds of nearby villagers to flee their homes.
