The first thing I thought when I saw the headline, is "damn, I hope noone died".

The second was "this needs to be mentioned in the DF forum".

Its a good thing they had a water pipe nearby or they might have flooded the whole map  ;D

A volcano can only be stopped by the mystical substance known as antiflood.

This is a fox skull helmet. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes of fox bone and is encircled with bands of fox leather. This item is haunted by the ghost of Alfador Angrorung the fox.

All evidence of it vanished with the Great Patch of Zed.

They should channel the magma out in the ocean and make an obsidian highway to the US.
They can smooth it and engrave cheese on the stuff aswell!

Unfortunately, magma generation is currently not fast enough to allow them to do so.  Well, not in any reasonable timeframe.

Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

They'd also have to make it out of pumice so it doesn't sink.

The cave-ins would slow the world to a standstill  :-\
