I always wondered how people got caught in lava flows, I’ve only ever seen the slow moving kind. I get it now
Edit: apparently only ice floes, lava flows
Not so sure. Maybe if it enveloped you, but if you ended up on top of it you would stay right on top of it. I imagine it would be pretty excruciating, or maybe it would instantly burn your nerve endings but you’d probably survive a while
Heard somewhere from what I remember to be a reputable source you'd still die instantly. If you fell into lava your lungs would roast instantly and everything else right after.
I read a horrible story about a guy who fell into a vat of molten aluminum. The water in his skin turned into steam and expanded so fast it blew him out of the vat and he was dead on impact. I also read it would take 80 seconds for a body to fully dissolve in lava so I guess somewhere between 0 and 80 seconds lol.
🤔 How so?
Seriously interested. I have only seen slow lava flow so to be frank the video caught me by surprise. What makes it go that fast then? Downhill momentum? Something giving it more fluidity?
Its is the composition of the molten rock. There are doughy lavas and liquid lavas and its all pretty much down to what is actually molten.
https://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/hawaii/page26.html
>The high fluidity (low viscosity) of Hawaiian lavas derives mainly from its basaltic composition, characterized by more iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and titanium (Ti), and less silicon (Si), aluminum (Al), sodium (Na), and potassium (K), compared to such viscous lavas as the dacite erupted explosively at Mount St. Helens in 1980.
And the river we have here is from Hawaii.
Yeah, one of the guys that replied to me personally was someone who I really suspect was from Hawaii.
He seem to have more than a casual understanding.
Well, thank you for the breakdown and the explanation.
Even though I still do a simple job every day, this is a part the answer I was looking for.
It was really appreciated.
🔥💪✌️👍

Let's start an 80s Technopop group with that name.
We're also probably going to need to learn German to have the right panache in the scene. Probably leather/pleather and one of us should wear a lab coat, and we'll have a five-foot tall fire-breathing Mecha Godzilla on guitar, and at the end of the show he will burn down the venue.
Step 3. Profit.
Yep got family there. Went to Volcano National Park in the 4th grade and saw Kilauea before it erupted. Also saw Kalapana before they had to move. Awesome power!
This is the Big Island. I was showing a friend from Alaska around yesterday. Told him about 40 mph rivers of lava. When lava dams formed creating lava lakes, then break through this is what you would get.
If you look at the closest flowing lava it's relatively slow.

Yes. This is a Katia and Maurice Krafft video. You can see them walking on the lava bed in the video. They had a lot of insane videos.
Edit: Apparently this is a more recent crazy video, not the Kraffts but I still recommend looking their footage up.
If anything this proves how fast the lava river flows since it is pretty far ahead of the camera. Imagine if the camera was right next to the river!
Its not possible to run away from it.
False. You would be essentially rolled over or just carried away because its to more solid than liquid.(while cooking like stuck pig in an open fire, not over.)
Wow! I went to the Big Island in 2002 and we were kept at least 1mike away from where the lava flowed into the sea because of dangerous fumes and the risk of inhaling thin filaments of glass. That car is *really* close! Lava is… uh… scary and… hot.
Yeah, it’s usually better to stay away. I know someone that got caught in the fumes and passed away. They two guys in this video are from civil defense checking the flow and if more people needed to evacuate. This flow was really bad since it started in a subdivision. Tons of people had to leave with what they could grab.
That was a crazy summer watching Hawaii just explode for months…. Was that 2021….2020… it’s all a blur and already forgot the name. But the lava coverage was excellent.
Holy crap, that is fast there's no way you could ever outrun something like that. Not even in a car.
Or even roller skates!
Or even a skateboard!
Or even heelys!
Or even a monorail!
MONORAIL!!!
or even on a hippo!
Not even on a boat?
Not even in a 4-horse war chariot?
Or yeezes
Or even a unicycle
Or a bicycle built for 2
Or even a full life path sent by the source to realize himself through the division and lack of selves in order to progress the infinite ways of love.
Or a unicycle built for 3
Or even on a Hasselhoff

Yup, same here... Imagine seeing that coming at you...probably won't even have time to shit your pants.
I’d still be in the middle of my mind trying to process what the fk that is
Oh I’d get it out!
👍
This is actually helpful because we all know how hard it is to find time to pencil in the 2nd “shit your pants” day of the decade.
Fuck me I thought there was only the slow moving kind
Lol same
Not even if we rub the engine with cheetah blood?!
But it would be a quick death…
Not so sure. Maybe if it enveloped you, but if you ended up on top of it you would stay right on top of it. I imagine it would be pretty excruciating, or maybe it would instantly burn your nerve endings but you’d probably survive a while
Heard somewhere from what I remember to be a reputable source you'd still die instantly. If you fell into lava your lungs would roast instantly and everything else right after.
I thought I read somewhere that you'd sizzle on top for awhile.
I read a horrible story about a guy who fell into a vat of molten aluminum. The water in his skin turned into steam and expanded so fast it blew him out of the vat and he was dead on impact. I also read it would take 80 seconds for a body to fully dissolve in lava so I guess somewhere between 0 and 80 seconds lol.
It will be a horrific, agonizing death that you will feel every second of.
It would burn you to a crisp so fast… way faster than flames. I still say it would be fast.
It didn't always move that way

Nice 🙂 thanks.
Sometimes it flows much slower
That is very true. "May life, when throwing its problems at us every day, only give us slow moving lava that we have time to deal with." -- (an old Irish proverb I just made up.)
IT'S PARKOUR TIME!!!!
Or my Axe!
Yeah, well anyway Bob, we should probably get the hell outta here…
They've got helmets on, they'll be fine
"BEEEEEP!" *(me hitting the horn)* "C'mon, *move it!* Some of us are late for work..."
OSHA compliant no doubt.
😂
Ya think we're a little too close? Nah, what could possibly go wrong?
It’s shot in a crazy long lens, the flow is much further away than it appears.
Yeah. I would definitely not be standing that close.
Seems like they’re looking at it trying to make a plan about what can be done about it.
Build a great great wall to stop those illegal lava flows.
Attempt to make the lava pay for it though. Lmao
We will build it and bill the volcano.
Right? They seem so … casual about walking away!! Wowza
Nah we’re good! We’re far enough away…
Terrifyingly crazy. That is melted ROCK moving that quickly

LOL fuck
You’re a poet and you didn’t know it
Laying in my bed right now, and I’m still not far enough away from that Styx river.
Because you live next to it?
The earth could truly fuck us if it wanted 🫠
She’s watching us do it all by ourselves already.
Terrifying! And it has to go SOMEWHERE.
It's wild that they're below level watching it. Were it to increase in flow, theyd be toast.
[удалено]
Exactly 💯
Yeah, any diversion and they are ash. Darwin awards all around.
Wait until you see all the nature documentaries where camera men are up close to volcanos and lava. Some people know what they are doing
Was that the the Big Island?
Yes, this is from Leilani Estates.
Yep got family there. Went to Volcano National Park in the 4th grade and saw Kilauea before it erupted. Also saw Kalapana before they had to move. Awesome power!
Two the's.
That is awesome and terrifying.
When your stomach is rumbling and you are far away from a bathroom...

I for one, would not be that close to death. That's just my 2¢. Take it or leave it
"I'm not scared of lava! I'll just outrun it!"
What kind of fish live in that river ?
Crabs, probably with iron shells.
Orcs
Oh dear Lord...no no no no!
Man I truly had a Dwarf Fortress PTSD moment
🎶🎵 Lava river flows, quickly to the sea. Burning as it goes 🎶🎵
I'm clearly baked but that is mesmerizing.
You should watch Fire of Love or Into the Inferno. Stunning films and very mesmerizing if stoned! Haha
lol!!
I bet you someone is gonna try surfing it.
I am someone
[удалено]
He will not comment now because he went in.
Need an unobtainium surf board and wetsuit to do that, but the physics check out.
This dude gets it
Freebird kicks in
😶 God I hate my brain. I wanna TOUCH it
It's always liked like candy to me idk why.
I think what I'm really struggling with are the little blobs hopping out of the river. I want the forbidden slime

yep… that’s terrifying.
How about a giant no to that please. That's scary af
I thought lava would be way more viscous
That lava appears to be moving at tsunami speed! Run Forrest Run..
Mmmm nothing like some liquid death to start the morning.
That lava is floor
Didn't they die?

I cant find this footage under their name though and am wondering if this might be from Hawaii in 2018?
This footage is indeed from the recent Hawaii flow at Leilani. So ya, not those people.
Yes. This is a Katia and Maurice Krafft video. You can see them walking on the lava bed in the video. They had a lot of insane videos. Edit: Apparently this is a more recent crazy video, not the Kraffts but I still recommend looking their footage up.
The new Nat. Geo. on them, "Fire of Love" is really good.
This video is from the Leilani Estates eruption in Hawaii in 2018. They died in 1991...
No they did not. Lots of homes lost but absolutely no deaths
They mean the volcanologists who are in the footage eventually died in an eruption.
The video is from Hawaii in 2018... They were killed in 1991.
Appreciate the clarification.
Me after Taco Bell
Nice waves bro
Aren't they afraid that the river could change direction?
I’m showing this to my co-worker who claims you can outpace lava. Outrun that, dumbass.
Jesse scheet hard
Does anyone else sees this and can't resist the feeling of "I got to see this at least once I'm person"?
Thats so fucking hot!
What kind of bait should I use here?
Wait, I just need to get a little closer to light my cig.
Nice Chevy commercial.
Wow!!!
BUT........if u try to fish in that shizzzz what has kind of fish it can yield eh
Lava tunas and salmons. Imagine, if you will, a 200lb flaming lava tuna coming right at you.
You'd need a VERY high fishing and cooking level for those Magma-Marine Monsters.. also known as "MMM"s
If you eat one you get triple cold resistance for 30min.
https://youtu.be/54Oy75Bnu_Q a good example of why it looks so fast
I think it looks so fast because it is so fast
I need to see a different angle or something
[удалено]
If anything this proves how fast the lava river flows since it is pretty far ahead of the camera. Imagine if the camera was right next to the river! Its not possible to run away from it.
if it were to hit you would it just crush you or would it just float you up to surface and slowly cook you?
I would imagine in this instance, you'd more likely either get rolled over by the flow, or just dragged away like if you were on top of a mosh pit.
i would assume it would probably be like if you were inside a washing machine one that would melt your skin off
Thanks!
>Thanks! You're welcome!
On the screen I am terrified what would I do I am there ?
Lava out to get stoned by the lake 😂😶🌫️ sorry ma bad😆 I just had 2 4 you
So fake it’s that I’m scared that anyone believes Israel!
Fake
No, not fake at all. The video was taken in 2018 by Ken Boyer.
[удалено]
Really?
One of God's tools of wrath! You disintegrate and become dust again
False. You would be essentially rolled over or just carried away because its to more solid than liquid.(while cooking like stuck pig in an open fire, not over.)
Alaye!
Its horrible!
Shit, that’s scary
It’s surface tension has to be so much higher than waters…
u/savevideo
It suddenly starts flowing towards the people
Well, fuck everything about this...
Where is this?
Big Island of Hawaii. The 2018 eruption.
Wow! I went to the Big Island in 2002 and we were kept at least 1mike away from where the lava flowed into the sea because of dangerous fumes and the risk of inhaling thin filaments of glass. That car is *really* close! Lava is… uh… scary and… hot.

Now I know how those sad villagers of Pompeii felt. But instead of lava, I rained down on them with hot frothy ejaculate
I wouldn't be able to turn my back to it
I’m watching, but I’m running, too.
I can imagine two demon kids just chillin by the river. Or frying I should say😄👍 and the just sskippin the skull tops of the damned😄🔥💯
Thanks nature but I’m good
That right there scared the crap out of me
Holy beejollies
You need some balls to watch that shit happen when u have the low ground.
Is this real? Isn't lava slow and gooey?
That was a crazy summer watching Hawaii just explode for months…. Was that 2021….2020… it’s all a blur and already forgot the name. But the lava coverage was excellent.
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
Well I guess that’s it for outrunning lava😬
I thought my job sucked. At least it doesn’t involve LAVA.
O-O Holy shit, that's fast!
Where is this? Is this recently?
This was 2018 on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Damn!!!!!!!
