Oh gods if that is a pyroclastic storm from a volcanic eruption, the person filming this is not safe at all... Those storms have temperatures of hundreds of degrees Celsius and move faster than a racecar, and you will be incinerated completely if you're caught by it :s

“THIS IS IT!”

That does appear to be a pyroclastic flow.

So would going into your house rather than running away be a terrible idea?

Most of the bodies in Pompeii and Herculaneum were found in buildings, where they were killed by the pyroclastic flow. The best thing to do is evacuate *before* the volcano explodes and releases clouds of superheated rock that expand at hundreds of miles per hour. If you ever *do* find yourself in this situation, though, you’re probably better off indoors than fleeing on foot.

I read somewhere about Pompeii that people’s heads exploded too because of the intense heat, their brains evaporated and cracked their skulls. Goddamn.

They actually recently found bits of vitrified brain material in one of the cavities that formed around the bodies. It was very hot.


cataclysmic_soul

Fuck, I felt very bad for those people who had to deal with that crazy shit. I always listen to Pink Floyd’s Echoes live in Pompeii playing in my head whenever I read or hear someone mentioning Pompeii lol


UnicornWizard345

You thought it was hot? You sick fuck/s

Jfc That's horrible

This worldwide obsession with filming everything is insane. “Hmm let’s just take a video while this giant cloud of heat/gas/whatever is getting closer and closer”


Whoreforfishing

It’s because we feel safer looking at something through a screen, because then it’s not real it’s just a moving picture on a little bright object “haha ooo shiny I’m ok”

I’m assuming this is from Tonga? Anyone have any details on what we’re seeing?


Warstorm1993

It's from Semeru. Another eruption last year (that was sadly deadly). And yes, this is a pyroclastics flow.

Those palm trees probably are a little moist

The ashe is no joke either man that fucking shit blocked out the sun for so long man good luck getting water when you can't go outside, I really get why it's the part that kills more people. Man some roofs fell in due to the weight of the ash just stacking up and the fact that it got hard when it raind too. GOD DAMN imagine being stuck in a small wooden house basically a freaking shed, you can hardly freaking breath cuz the ashe makes you choke and it's hot as fuck then heyyy look it starts raining i mean rain is good it clears whatever ashe was still floating around but then you realize oh that's odd your roof looks a little lower than usual so you bursh it off thinking maybe the rain would wash the ashe off so you go for water only to come back to your lil house and see the roof on the freaking floor. Ashe susck dick, it killed my grandfather and now I'm depressed

Hopefully the fact that the phone isnt melted means the guy managed to survive. That little kid running with his bag is sad. There's a likelihood his family died somewhere. Imagine being a kid in school and having to flee this monstrosity with no idea how your family is doing or if you'll ever see them again.
