Volcano acting up

At the suggestion I moved this post from the Bombs thread. Thanks Jerry!

The only good use for bombs in Hawaii, other than those for defense purposes, in my opinion;

If you look at the above map on Jim's PDF file for the current eruption, my mind tells me if a 2,000 lb bomb was dropped on the southerly red line, just when it was encroaching the yellow area (previous flow), it might have allowed the hot lava to reenter the yellow area of the previous most current damaged areas.

How about declaring the remainder of Royal Gardens as beyond redemption, paying off the land and property owners and encouraging all lava flows to that area, by bombing gaping holes in the flows on the south side? Probably not tractable?

Why this wasn't or isn't done is my question. The only theory I can come up with is that the study of the volcano is of utmost importance and number one priority.
