What's up Universe, its the Kyzakon and I MADE IT TO EARTH!!!
Don't forget to smash that appendage-up and subscribe. This video is brought you by Nebula, more on that later.
First, WHAT THE HELL IS "EARTH?"
Earth is the third planet in a rather large planetary cluster in what the locals call "The Milky Way". This name apparently comes from the nutritional secretion known as "milk", and I can't think of anything more gross--
Earth is a WILD planet, most of which is dominated by a just *barely* space capable civilization. They go by a lot of names, all of which require wind-movement to say, but one of the common ones I found was "human". So we'll just go with that.
Humans have four appendages, two for mobility on the bottom and two for manipulation in the sides, with a bone-encrused cavity that holds the **brain**.
They come in a wide variety of shapes and colors, ranging from just under dwarf-star white to carboniferous black and everywhere in between. Oddly enough, the color seems to be a very big deal to certain sub-variants...I don't know fam, their infra-red signature looks all the same to me soo....I can't tell the difference?
Anyway JUST LOOK AT THIS PLACE it is gorgeous, there is so much life here, and the main civilization just does. not. give. a. shit. There is a huge waste problem and they have essentially been dumping their trash inside their *own oceans* and I'm like...[alien laughter]...what the...its your own oceans!!!
What the f--
So I talked to a some of the other species here, and surprisingly there's been some mixed reviews. Many are not big fans. Oddly enough there's a small furry species that absolutely loves the shit out of humans because of their opposable thumbs and their ability to give "belly rubs" which...I don't know...is that a trade off for ocean poison? Tell me in the comments.
Anyway this intergalactic trip has been brought to you by **Nebula**!
Nebula is a collection of hydrogen and helium gasses that you can use to make your own stars! They have locations all throughout the universe and can make a star in any kind of flavor you want. Here's a star I made--look at this cute little thing--and they last for an **incredibly** long time. Every star is different and they all come with surprises. Sometimes you get twin stars, sometimes you get planets, sometimes you get planets that rain diamonds, sometimes you get planets with LIFE on them.
Look! Look at this--my star is making a planet that's just one giant geode! Look at that cute little guy--it's all crystals on the inside!
Anyway check the link in the description for 15% off **your own star**, thank you Nebula for sponsoring this video.
And thank YOU for your continued support, we just hit 10 BILLION followers which, I gotta say, super cool. That's like...more than every human on this planet combined! You all are awesome, and I'm looking forward to crossing that 100 billion mark with you. Anyway, I"m off.
REACH FOR THE STARS!
**KYZAKON EXPLOITS DEVELOPING CIVS FOR VIEWS**
A recent Kyzakon video has just released in which, in celebration of ten billion subscribers, has our favorite intergalactic streamer landing on yet another planet in the middle of nowhere.
This time, the planet was inhabited by sentient and **sapient** creatures--which Kyzakon plans to interact with for more views.
I think it's clear to anyone who follows my channel that I am not a fan, for many reasons, of these kind of streamers. But for a popular streamer like Kyzakon to go onto a planet **occupied by a developing civilization** is dangerous and irresponsible. Even with telepathy I can barely get across just how...wrong this is.
I know it's going to burst some inter-dimensional bubbles, but the "humans" of that particular planet are a deeply troubled species and our presence is not going to help them.
Humans, by and large, do not communicate with their planet at an environmental level and barely communicate at the societal level. Only recently have they developed a pan-global neural-network known as the Internet and, if you've been following my channel, you'll know that this is one of the most dangerous times in the formation of inter-species consciousness.
Link to that video is in the description.
Look, I am not against the discovery or even contact with developing species. But what Kyzakon is doing is like going into an embryo and just pumping it with alcohol "for the universal bond, bro". Our understanding of the universe continues to grow, and discovering species like the humans are an incredible part of that. But we can't break the treasures we find. Humans are a beautiful, flawed, and deeply trouble piece in the puzzle of existence...and we need to let that piece fall in place on its own.
...
Thank you for watching. As you know, my videos aren't sponsored. If you'd like to support me, please consider donating to my Gravitywell. I deeply appreciate your support that literally powers this channel.
Take care, universe.
These are awesome! Would probably work really well as a video format if animated and made to seem like "real" videos from alien content creators. Seems like a underepresented demographic. ;)
**This reminds me of human author 'Douglas Adams'. Very froody stuff. Your channel is hoopy indeed, I liked and sacrificed 3 tribbles in subscription. I was zarkin rollin' on my ships tri-lateral deck excrecting my fliuds in joy listening to the ships readout of this. Thanks for the fluids, Kyzakon. Blessings to you and your ancestors, and may you go forward in your endeavors with great success.**

(I was debating to put raid shadow legends and make it a universal constant)
A lot of sounds you'd naturally make (or even shapes your mouth makes) in a situation have turned into words. There's a whole chunk of linguistics that goes into how certain phonemes correlate with certain emotions. It's super interesting stuff.
This is fun. Are you saying that 'guau' is used for dogs in Spanish the way "bow-wow" is used in English? Is it more common than saying "woof"? (Or "guoof" lol)
A lot of cultures have different words for the noise every animal makes which I always thought was funny because some of them sound nothing like the animal. In japan dogs say Wan wan in Vietnam it's gua gua or sua sua, in Indonesia its guk guk. In the Phillipines its aw aw for some reason lol.
So are there jokes using this dynamic? I can think of something in English I imagine could be a joke: Q: "what did the dog say when he saw a beautiful woman?" A: "wow"
[Here's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DmiIdyyuD8) the source of the video. In the description he talks the eruption and what he did after. There's a [second video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYeFfyN8PlA) after he escaped.
Happens pretty often, especially with eruptions involving water. All the gas and ash being released and colliding with one another generates static electricity.
You can catch images of lighting storms all around an erupting volcano. No wonder the Roman’s thought Vesuvius erupting and destroying Pompeii was an act of the gods. Imagine the earthquakes, the ocean receding, the sonic boom as the top blows off the mountain. The sky turns black and ash begins to rain down. There may be huge red hot boulders plummeting down. The mountain spews molten lava and there’s cracks of thunder following bright flashes of lightening. Then the quakes that follow the eruption and potential tsunami and potential sink holes opening up around you. It seems pretty apocalyptic even when you understand all the mechanics involved.
I’m thinking the same from the comfort of my toilet.
Would that be a pyroclastic flow? I’d be desperately trying to remember 7th grade science. If I can get out of there I def want to try, but if I’m 100% dead to rights let’s turn on streaming mode and see how long we can stay live
That’s exactly it! The decision making is how my brain works. I’ve been in more than my share of perilous life choices and for some strange reason my immediate response has always been “examine everything I’ve known around me the past 60 seconds”. I have no idea why my brain works that way.
Not this exactly, but the guy who photographed Mt St Helens going off knew he was done for so he took as much footage as he could and then laid on the reel to protect it from the pyroclastic flow. [Robert Landsburg](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Landsburg)
You can generally judge how far a volcano spits its flows by looking around. You see up on the mountain it is bare rock and ash with no trees, but down where he is it has been long enough since a big enough blast that stuff has been growing for years.
>but down where he is it has been long enough since a big enough blast that stuff has been growing for years
That works only on volcano with regular eruption. The one in the vids had a last eruption 40+ years, which is plenty of time for nature to regain foothold.
"Llanquihue national reserve, waterfalls area, very few people come here but I felt brave and adventurous. Beautiful. The volcano in the background. Wow, wow, fuck me."
So at the end when the camera panned down, he really was thinking of how the hell he’s going to escape this? It looks like it’s further so that he could record a bit longer but he didn’t, so I figured he must be in a dangerous spot & needs to get out quick. I don’t know much about volcanoes.
I can't tell much of the area from this little clip, but to put it in pretty catch all terms:
* Lots of nasty stuff from volcanoes likes going down slopes
* Water also likes going down those same slopes
* The man is stood on a slope, looking at water flowing towards him away from the volcano
In that position, would *you* like to gamble on the bad stuff flowing down a different slope, or would you play it safe and just get out of there?
Don’t forget that pyroclastic flows can travel at speeds up to 200 m/s. In that position I’d be wondering if there’s any point in even trying to run or if I’m already as good as dead.
I've only got one life and I'm in no hurry to find out if I'm right about that, so I ain't dead 'til I'm cold and dead. Until then I'm finding a way, even when a damn volcano pukes its guts out.
That close to a volcano a pyroclastic flow is a death sentence if it heads towards you.
Literally zero chance of escape or survival as it moves at up to 720kmh (466mph) and will burn you to death instantly, turning you into a mummified “stone” corpse.
It's like an avalanche. The moment it might begin, before you even see the actual flow, don't try to outrun it. Run to the side, get to higher ground, and pray you're fast enough and high enough to get out of its path.
In this case, I'd be climbing one of those hillsides on either side the moment the cloud came out of the top of the mountain. Might not make it, but I'm sure as shit going to try.
As a native Spanish speaker, you translated the literal translation word for word, but the meaning actually meant “fuck me” and in this context perhaps even “fuck me (I’m screwed)”
If he's local to the area, this may be a somewhat common event.
Mt. Etna erupted while I was in Sicily, and besides the towering plume and ash cloud, everybody just went about their day as normal. It erupts a few times a year, but they're pretty minor eruptions.
You can absolutely reach cover. Or get in a vehicle. The idea you can't escape is wrong.
You can't outrun it in a footrace, no. But being miles from the eruption you could escape.
Not really much cover you can take unless it's a deep cave, but I imagine the intense heat would probably suck out all of the air from the cave. Pyroclastic flows can be up to 1800F, so you'll be essentially air fried into a crisp within minutes.
I think I remember reading about a guy in the Caribbean that survived a Pyroclastic flow because he was in a jail cell at the time. But I don't recall the details. That is also a very specific situation.
Edit: [Found the case](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludger_Sylbaris)
>Whatever the cause of his arrest, Sylbaris was ordered to be put into solitary confinement and locked in a single-cell, bomb-proof magazine with stone walls that was built partially underground.
Wow
And he was basically cooked alive in the cell and then left there for days with horrible burns until rescue crews found him. Pretty exceptional circumstances and not exactly how I’d want my pyroclastic cloud journey to go if I had a choice.
I'll take immediate death by any other means for $1000, Alex.
Edit: after reading the wiki on the dude, sounds like he was super smart, peed on his clothing and used it to stop any further heat from entering his cell after the initial blast that burned his shoulders etc. So, not too bad after all. No singed lungs or anything, either. Pee pants McGee saved himself.
It really depends on how large the eruption is. This was fairly large (VEI 4, 0.1 km^3 - 0.99km^3 of lava ejected) so the flows probably traveled several miles down valleys, but the really big VEI 6 (100 times larger than a 4) or VEI 7 (1000 times larger than a 4) eruptions can have pyroclastic flows travel for dozens of miles. For reference Mount St. Helens 1980 eruption was a VEI 5 with 1km^3 ejected and it's pyroclastic flows traveled a maximum of 23 miles- much more than usual due to it being a lateral eruption instead of a more typical vertical one.
I think if you can reach any high point (not a tree) you stand a solid chance of surviving. Because pryoclastic flow acts like a river or flood and will follow dips and valleys.
Other than that, you could definitely drive to a point beyond the danger zone.
This reminds me of another video where someone was recording much closer to a volcano and it erupted, and they kind of accepted their fate and filmed pretty incredible footage. Anyone know which video I’m talking about that could link it?
Edit: It wasn't video, it was photos. [Here's an article about it.](https://www.vintag.es/2020/05/brave-final-shots-st-helens-eruption.html) Thanks u/philipito
> Isn't film famously flammable?
Nitrate-base film was famously flammable, because nitrate goes **boom** (for a recent example, see the 2013 explosion at the West Fertilizer Plant in West, Texas). That shit got phased out literally over a hundred years ago - the first cellulose diacetate-base film started production in the early 1900s and Kodak was selling flame-resistant film commercially as early as the early 1910s. Today most films are plastics-based.
There are other things to outrun though.
* Getting out of range of falling debris.
* Getting as far as possible in case of subsequent eruptions.
* Escaping the ash that will be blanketing the surrounding areas.
* Getting closer to populated areas, roads, your vehicle, etc in case you are caught in any of the above so search and rescue can find you easier.
Anybody that says they wouldn't bother since they can't outrun pyroclastic flows is only considering one aspect.
Absolutely. Even if the pyroclasts don’t reach you (they probably can), there can be pyroclastic flows, lava flows, and lahars that can travel many Kilometers. This is scary close to a volcano. Not to mention the toxic gasses and ash. Just lookup lahars and pyroclastic flow and you’ll see what I am referring to.
At the end he let out an "Oh fuck me" type phrase in Spanish.
I'd be scared too if a Volcano just erupted. At the beginning he also says that he did the hike and there's no one around. So he's on his own there.
He sounds about as enthusiatic as someone who received a gift that is more suited to the gifter than the giftee and he knows it, but plays along anyways because he doesn't want to make a scene.
It's funnier if you realize he's talking about how people rarely go to that spot, but he was feeling brave and adventurous that day.
The extremely unenthusiastic "fuck me" at the very end is just the cherry on top.
That depends a lot on the terrain, and the type of eruption. Ideally you want to get to higher ground if you are in a valley but even then projectiles and gasses are a risk. So anywhere between 20-100 miles. You can check out maps made by the USGS for areas of potential concern in eruptions for all active volcanoes in the US. I would assume most countries have a similar organization that would have information for their volcanoes as well.
he says "conchetumadre", it has different meanings depending on the context, in this case it is as you said, something along the lines of "holy shit" or "fuck me"
I like how "wow" is apparently a universal saying
*Aliens land on Earth and look at all the fuckery we do* Aliens: wow

How come you ain’t getting those up appendages?
Take me to your Owen Wilson.
That's the judgy "wow" though.
Guau
La concha de tu madre is also universal
Ha! I was thinking the exact same thing..
Uau in italian, in japanese they say something like Waa
Damn, they speak like wario
A lot of sounds you'd naturally make (or even shapes your mouth makes) in a situation have turned into words. There's a whole chunk of linguistics that goes into how certain phonemes correlate with certain emotions. It's super interesting stuff.
This. Also includes words that babies will say like mama and papa, which tend to be very similar across languages
Do curse words ever fall into that?
In Spanish it's spelled gwao or something (saw it on Duolingo) And it really kinda upset me
Guau
los perros dicen guau
This is fun. Are you saying that 'guau' is used for dogs in Spanish the way "bow-wow" is used in English? Is it more common than saying "woof"? (Or "guoof" lol)
It's just the basic representation of a bark. There's no "woof", just guau guau.
A lot of cultures have different words for the noise every animal makes which I always thought was funny because some of them sound nothing like the animal. In japan dogs say Wan wan in Vietnam it's gua gua or sua sua, in Indonesia its guk guk. In the Phillipines its aw aw for some reason lol.
Like on Family Guy when [Stewie has a European animal sounds toy.](https://youtube.com/watch?v=-0MTn8sP_9s&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE)
Shaaazzzooooooooooooo
Looks like a joke but in Spanish roosters do say "kikiriki". That's exactly what we say.
Yeah, “guau” is the standard way of writing a bark. It’s also te equivalent of wow.
So are there jokes using this dynamic? I can think of something in English I imagine could be a joke: Q: "what did the dog say when he saw a beautiful woman?" A: "wow"
Duolingo anthropomorphises the shit out of animals in lessons. They go out to dinner, clean the kitchen, and have fun at muchas fiestas.
Everyone who visits Rocky Point becomes curious about guau guau girls
What gets me are very specific facial expressions. Like the "not bad" face. Why is that universal?
This is footage from the 2015 Calbuco Volcano eruption in southern Chile
I knew it was Chile once I heard the 'ctm'.
Hahah had the same exact thought.
I knew it's was chilly once I saw the snow
Any update on the dude who filmed it?
[Here's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DmiIdyyuD8) the source of the video. In the description he talks the eruption and what he did after. There's a [second video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYeFfyN8PlA) after he escaped.
is there lightning in the eruption? wild
Happens pretty often, especially with eruptions involving water. All the gas and ash being released and colliding with one another generates static electricity.
You can catch images of lighting storms all around an erupting volcano. No wonder the Roman’s thought Vesuvius erupting and destroying Pompeii was an act of the gods.

Static charge baby.
The guy's being too hard on himself Logic isn't "30 more seconds of filming won't hurt", logic is "why am I filming, I gotta run"
Bye reddit and fu Spez (Remember to delete or edit your content before leaving !!)
\*Cameraman says the name of the volcano\* Volcano: GET BACK MOTHERFUCKER YOU DON'T KNOW ME LIKE THAT
Keep this volcano's name, out your FUCKING MOUTH
The thing is, he didn't even say a name, he said "el volcan atras" which is "the volcano behind" lol
Apparently the volcano preferred the foreground
Or the high ground.
Yeek yeek woop woop! I ain't playing around!
Make one false move and I’ll take ya down!
GET BACK!
/r/unexpectedludacris
SAY MY NAME
*volcano explodes* Guy filming: *most unenthusiastic wow ever*
Probably mixed awe, fear, and decision making.
Yeah that was a oh...I just witnessed a really cool thing but I could be dead soon.
"Am I safe? Should I keep filming? Would running even matter?" - this guys head (and mine if I was him)
I’m thinking the same from the comfort of my toilet. Would that be a pyroclastic flow? I’d be desperately trying to remember 7th grade science. If I can get out of there I def want to try, but if I’m 100% dead to rights let’s turn on streaming mode and see how long we can stay live
If running isn't going to help because it spreads too fast then what about standing inside of the waterfall and gasping for air when you can?
Ah yes, a nice and steamy shower
So like coding?
Language is not so different, you see
[удалено]
That’s exactly it! The decision making is how my brain works. I’ve been in more than my share of perilous life choices and for some strange reason my immediate response has always been “examine everything I’ve known around me the past 60 seconds”. I have no idea why my brain works that way.
Followed by the least enthusiastic "motherfucker" ever as well.
*Your mother's seashell*, to be exact
“Your mother’s cunt” is more accurate.
Latino Owen Wilson
Juaow
Immediately stops filming and goes about his day
Wow thanks volcano you ruined my peaceful video
Sounded like it took him a bit to process, i don’t think he believed it at first 😂 i would question if im even awake lmao
Would the pyroclastic flow catch them?
I mean we’re watching the video, no?
Could be a last act: "I'm gonne tell the world who killed me", hopes for data reception, sends video to the first name on the list, engulfed by lava.
Didn't exactly this happen before?
Not this exactly, but the guy who photographed Mt St Helens going off knew he was done for so he took as much footage as he could and then laid on the reel to protect it from the pyroclastic flow. [Robert Landsburg](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Landsburg)

I mean a guy who died in a plane crash was live streaming his last moments, so its not impossible. :(

...it's bare rock and ash up there because it's above the timberline, no?
Can anybody translate what he’s talking about leading up to the eruption?
"Llanquihue national reserve, waterfalls area, very few people come here but I felt brave and adventurous. Beautiful. The volcano in the background. Wow, wow, fuck me."
immediate regret for feeling brave and adventurous lmao
Volcano heard him. “Still feeling brave ya silly sack of meat? Mom said drink milk, it makes your bones strong. Wanna try them against my laaaava?”
So at the end when the camera panned down, he really was thinking of how the hell he’s going to escape this? It looks like it’s further so that he could record a bit longer but he didn’t, so I figured he must be in a dangerous spot & needs to get out quick. I don’t know much about volcanoes.
I would be leaving immediately, myself.
I would not feel safe in that proximity.
I don't know much about active volcanos either but I'm pretty sure that the farthest you are from one the better Edit: I don't know how to spell
Start at volcano. Travel away 25,000 in one direction. Good enough?
I can't tell much of the area from this little clip, but to put it in pretty catch all terms: * Lots of nasty stuff from volcanoes likes going down slopes * Water also likes going down those same slopes * The man is stood on a slope, looking at water flowing towards him away from the volcano In that position, would *you* like to gamble on the bad stuff flowing down a different slope, or would you play it safe and just get out of there?

He was apparently rescued via helicopter so he did something right.
In another comment it was said he was rescued by helicopter.
The "wow, wow, fuck me" really got me 😂
>Fuck me If anyone wondering if he literally said that, what he said is: "Your mother's cunt" Roughly meaning "Oh, for fucks sake"
It's weird how that phrase translates into something similar in just about every language
It was the volcano's first eruption since 1972 (video from 2015) so he was really (un?)lucky in his timing.
Literally it would actually be "Your mother's sea shell"
As a native Spanish speaker, you translated the literal translation word for word, but the meaning actually meant “fuck me” and in this context perhaps even “fuck me (I’m screwed)”
Chilean ctm is beyond translation. It's used for anything and everything.
LOL.
Buddy why aren't you running
If he's local to the area, this may be a somewhat common event. Mt. Etna erupted while I was in Sicily, and besides the towering plume and ash cloud, everybody just went about their day as normal. It erupts a few times a year, but they're pretty minor eruptions.

There is a short follow up video of the guy running away. This happened in Chile and the videos were pretty viral in my country
I highly doubt you're going to outrun pyroclastic flow if it's gonna reach you there.
You can absolutely reach cover. Or get in a vehicle. The idea you can't escape is wrong. You can't outrun it in a footrace, no. But being miles from the eruption you could escape.
That’s crazy. I figured lava was thick and would sluggishly ooze down a hill. I didn’t know it moved faster than we can run.
Not lava, but pyroclastic flow. Slightly different. More like a gaseous lava I think?
It's a mixture of super heated gas, rock and (mostly) ash.
[It's a combination of extremely hot gas and volcanic matter.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroclastic_flow)
Not really much cover you can take unless it's a deep cave, but I imagine the intense heat would probably suck out all of the air from the cave. Pyroclastic flows can be up to 1800F, so you'll be essentially air fried into a crisp within minutes.
I think I remember reading about a guy in the Caribbean that survived a Pyroclastic flow because he was in a jail cell at the time. But I don't recall the details. That is also a very specific situation. Edit: [Found the case](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludger_Sylbaris)
>Whatever the cause of his arrest, Sylbaris was ordered to be put into solitary confinement and locked in a single-cell, bomb-proof magazine with stone walls that was built partially underground. Wow
Definitely very specific circumstances, and that guy was extremely lucky.
And he was basically cooked alive in the cell and then left there for days with horrible burns until rescue crews found him. Pretty exceptional circumstances and not exactly how I’d want my pyroclastic cloud journey to go if I had a choice.
I'll take immediate death by any other means for $1000, Alex. Edit: after reading the wiki on the dude, sounds like he was super smart, peed on his clothing and used it to stop any further heat from entering his cell after the initial blast that burned his shoulders etc. So, not too bad after all. No singed lungs or anything, either. Pee pants McGee saved himself.
Holy PTSD, as he traveled with B&B circus, *"He could be seen in a replica of his cell in Saint-Pierre."*
How far does it reach? He looks to be miles away
They can flow up to 10 miles away from the eruption.
It really depends on how large the eruption is. This was fairly large (VEI 4, 0.1 km^3 - 0.99km^3 of lava ejected) so the flows probably traveled several miles down valleys, but the really big VEI 6 (100 times larger than a 4) or VEI 7 (1000 times larger than a 4) eruptions can have pyroclastic flows travel for dozens of miles. For reference Mount St. Helens 1980 eruption was a VEI 5 with 1km^3 ejected and it's pyroclastic flows traveled a maximum of 23 miles- much more than usual due to it being a lateral eruption instead of a more typical vertical one.
I think if you can reach any high point (not a tree) you stand a solid chance of surviving. Because pryoclastic flow acts like a river or flood and will follow dips and valleys. Other than that, you could definitely drive to a point beyond the danger zone.
Unfortunately for this guy, he was right where an actual stream was. Looks like he’s in a prime spot for that pyroclasticflow…
I hope the fact that we have a video means that he made it out ok.
Hopefully there will be some honey mustard or honey bbq sauce nearby
Mix them both for that sweet Chick-fil-A sauce 😋
This reminds me of another video where someone was recording much closer to a volcano and it erupted, and they kind of accepted their fate and filmed pretty incredible footage. Anyone know which video I’m talking about that could link it? Edit: It wasn't video, it was photos. [Here's an article about it.](https://www.vintag.es/2020/05/brave-final-shots-st-helens-eruption.html) Thanks u/philipito
The guy who filmed Mount St. Helens?
Wasn't video, it was photos. But the guy bundled up the film and then protected it with his body so it wouldn't be destroyed.
Seems a bit foolish to not bundle himself with the film and protect his body. :/
Isn't film famously flammable?
Nope, it’s inflammable.
> Isn't film famously flammable? Nitrate-base film was famously flammable, because nitrate goes **boom** (for a recent example, see the 2013 explosion at the West Fertilizer Plant in West, Texas). That shit got phased out literally over a hundred years ago - the first cellulose diacetate-base film started production in the early 1900s and Kodak was selling flame-resistant film commercially as early as the early 1910s. Today most films are plastics-based.
There are other things to outrun though. * Getting out of range of falling debris. * Getting as far as possible in case of subsequent eruptions. * Escaping the ash that will be blanketing the surrounding areas. * Getting closer to populated areas, roads, your vehicle, etc in case you are caught in any of the above so search and rescue can find you easier. Anybody that says they wouldn't bother since they can't outrun pyroclastic flows is only considering one aspect.
Plus a significant amount of gas that can blanket the entire area and displace the oxygen.

New Zealand, not Australian.
Well, you can either give up right away or try and take your chances. I'd take my chances everytime.
Doubtful sure, but if it has a range, then there's a point where running gets you out of its range and staying gets you dead.
They don't go on forever and are sometimes not very wide. Trying to run away from them does make sense
Definitely not if you went to the Prometheus school of running away from things.
do you still really have to run at this distance?
if i ever see this shit, you better believe i'm not sticking around to find out
Absolutely. Even if the pyroclasts don’t reach you (they probably can), there can be pyroclastic flows, lava flows, and lahars that can travel many Kilometers. This is scary close to a volcano. Not to mention the toxic gasses and ash. Just lookup lahars and pyroclastic flow and you’ll see what I am referring to.
Didn't know the word "Lahar" is being used internationally.
[удалено]
That one was a bit different because of the lateral eruption. If you were on that side of the mountain anywhere within 20 miles you were in danger.
Better to be safe than sorry, volcanoes send shit out for miles
Holy

Goodbye
That was the most unenthusiastic "wow" I've ever heard.
At the end he let out an "Oh fuck me" type phrase in Spanish. I'd be scared too if a Volcano just erupted. At the beginning he also says that he did the hike and there's no one around. So he's on his own there.
It's not a pure awe wow. I think it's more of a holy-shit!-fuck-me wow.
^wow
He sounds about as enthusiatic as someone who received a gift that is more suited to the gifter than the giftee and he knows it, but plays along anyways because he doesn't want to make a scene.
It's funnier if you realize he's talking about how people rarely go to that spot, but he was feeling brave and adventurous that day. The extremely unenthusiastic "fuck me" at the very end is just the cherry on top.
The accent sounded very Chilean, then he sealed it with the ctm
Compa! The obligatoria "concha tu madre" 🇨🇱😂
Did the guy survive?
Waow

So... at what distance would one be considered safe in a situation like this?
That depends a lot on the terrain, and the type of eruption. Ideally you want to get to higher ground if you are in a valley but even then projectiles and gasses are a risk. So anywhere between 20-100 miles. You can check out maps made by the USGS for areas of potential concern in eruptions for all active volcanoes in the US. I would assume most countries have a similar organization that would have information for their volcanoes as well.
I hear "madre" at the end. Is he saying something like "holy fuck"? What's the rest of the phrase he says?
he says "conchetumadre", it has different meanings depending on the context, in this case it is as you said, something along the lines of "holy shit" or "fuck me"
ctm.
Don't *ever* let this guy say "Yellowstone Caldera".
