Mt Fuji is due to blow!

Measuring blocks for size and positioning isn't quite the same as measuring and recording distances from a giant hole in the ground to the positions of hundreds of thousands of rocks scattered in all directions, hundreds if not thousands of meters away in order to complete extremely complex mathematical calculations...

Ummm ... modern scientists can actually go out and measure the ejected material from the 1707 eruption.

Over 2 years later, people are not allowed to return to their homes in the Radiation Exclusion Zone, and will not for years to come. So Google Maps donned radiation suits and drove through the ghost town of Namie, former population 21,000. Each day upon return, the car was checked for radiation so as not to infect others. The Mayor went on one trip and wrote this letter.

As someone who lived within sight of Mt. Fuji for almost 3 years, I know it hasn't erupted since 1707. This other little event has a much higher probability of killing people over the next 20 years.
