The Yellowstone Caldera eruption will probably be an Extinction Level Event when it eventually happens.
Suppose some lunatic wanted to set it off now, with drills, bombs, or whatnot. Say this lunatic has the resources of a nuclear nation state at its disposal.
Is that an achievable goal? Or is Yellowstone safe until it sets itself off?
(BTW I realise that there is an Earth Science stack exchange, but I figured this is a question about the means of triggering an eruption, which seems more physics-y.)
