Ray, I've just realized English might be your problem, [or mine], not physics. Maybe you thought I meant pumice in 1000 km3 lots would get from 10 km high to ground level before the top floor of the Twin Towers buildings. I can see that "faster" could mean to some readers "before". But that's a rather obtuse reading of an ambiguity given the situation I was describing and the obvious fact that something [even a cannonball] falling from 10 km would take longer than the few seconds it took for the Twin Towers to completely collapse. <Taupo won't give much warning at all. As the 1000 km3 vast column of compressed liquids turn to gas, it'll fly in minutes to a height of 10 km then come down a LOT faster than the Twin Towers and cause a very large expanding horizontal catastrophe.> Edit: "... of 10 km then hit the ground at a much greater speed than the top floor of the Twin Towers ... etc..." the point was the very large horizontal catastrophe resulting from that high speed descent converted to horizontal expansion on arriving back at ground level.
