"I think wherever you live, you have to coexist with your environment" Such a beautiful way of thinking. Most of us have lost touch with that part of our lives
@@ufffd You're right. It SHOULD be obvious but it just goes to show what we can get used to. Its little wonder why depression is at an all time high in first world countries. I like what you said about isolation too. This video made me think of just how we're so tied to our houses and how much it destroys us if we lose it. We can't just up and go if we want to leave without needing to sell up first. It's just a possession. No inanimate object should have so much power over us
Most urbanites maybe, even some rural people. But there's rural people who live much closer to nature and are more in tune with it. Granted it's just remnants of how life used to be, but it's still there.
From volcanos to avalanches to tornadoes, to hurricanes, to wild fires, to floods, to sand storms, to earthquakes, to droughts, to land slides, there's not a place on Earth that human beings don't have to watch over their should for mother nature.
“Worlds most dangerous volcano” is an inaccurate way to describe Kīlauea. “World’s most active volcano “ would be more accurate. During the Leilani estates eruption 3 years ago nobody was killed, even as the volcano destroyed over 800 homes.
As an Aussie that’s spent over 30 years working side by side with pacific island people I just want to say that I am in awe of both their culture and their attitude towards life. Ka pai, ahoa!
@exposing truth I don’t think they said all pacific islanders are pagan worshippers, but I don’t think you can deny that different regions of the world tend to have certain cultures. Not every islander nation are paganistic but you can’t deny that aspect of their culture, history and identity. Im Lithuanian, Lithuania was once tge biggest paganistic empire in europe. To this day they are roman catholic but we can see the uses of herbs and wooden sculptures really show its pagan influence over the country. I wouldn’t be offended if someone suggested that we have a pagan culture or at least a pagan influenced culture
Not sure of the exact part of the video that you are commenting on. However vulvanoes does have other tricks up their sleeves then the slow moving lavas of Hawaii. Some places lava flows *fast*. But the *real* killer is usually pyroclastic flows that can move as fast as 700 km/h and cross 50+ km of water floating on a cushion of steam from the water being boiled underneath the flow by the insanely hot dust particles making up the flow. And even if you survive such flows a vulvano can still fill the air with ashes filled with tiny glass particles that once you breath them in will start to cut up your lungs just as badly as asbestose, potentially killing you before you get away, and even if you manage to get away potentially damaging you for life. Vulvanoes can melt glaciers causing flash floods that can wash away entire villages, and these flash floods can contain ashes that then solidifies into essentially sement around anyone caught in the floods so you can't escape, or be dug out. And if there's builders included any buildings involved can be crushed till there's nothing bigger then matches left. Almost the least of your problems near a vulvano is that they can throw lava far, far up into the sky that can solidify into huge hot builders that can come raining down crushing you, usually they're not much bigger than your head though, so a solid house roof might deflect them. Of course any vegetation can be set alight so you'll have to deal with wildfires. The rapidly rising gasses filled with particles can create a lot of static electricity, potentially causing lightning strikes, I don't need to tell you that those can be deadly... Tiny glass particles inside modern jet engines can of course cause a plane to lose engine power. And the gasses released by the vulvano has different properties then the air that the plane was designed to fly through potentially causing a plane to drop literally like a rock instead of gliding, since there's no air to glide through. That's... "fun"... Lava or magma expanding and contracting the ground can cause earthquakes with all that entails... Like seriously, it would probably be faster to list all the ways of killing you that a vulvano *can't* cause... If you include indirect potential methods included I really can't think of any in a hurry... I mean, the heat could even trigger stored ammunition potentially shooting people for goodness sake, not to mention being stabbed by a branche in a flood, so even death by piercing damage is within it's repertoire... I mean, I guess I haven't heard of a vulvano ever killing anyone with radiation poisoning yet... Although I can imagine situations where that could be achieved... Yes, I've spent a *lot* of time thinking about possible ways to be killed by a vulvano... (Icelandic citizen living abroad, but still with family in the country) As for the dangers of lava itself, you are aware of how 7 million km in Russia in essence is all basalt rocks left after a single gigantic vulvanic eruption that almost killed all life on this planet? That's 4 million km^3 of basalt left by a single vulvanic event. In such a situation I really don't think that there would be anywhere left *without* lava for you to flee too... (A similar but much smaller scale event on Iceland in 1784 caused the French revolution by causing a huge famine resulting in unrest, killing a estimated 1/4th of the population of Iceland, as well as a estimated 23 000 British people killed by poisoning and another 8 000 Brits by climatic effects, about 1/6th of the population of Egypt, a unknown but large number of deaths in the Sahel region of Africa, 920 000 people in Japan, large but unknown numbers elsewhere in Europe (the poisonous cloud drifted in over Denmark-Norway, Bohemia and a number of other countries). If you include the indirect deaths caused by the political outfalls of the vulvano then you can include all of the French wars in that equation too... So many millions there... I short, vulvanoes are bloodying *terrifying*. And I'm glad that I'm living a long, long distance away from the closest one, where I'll have a pretty good chance of surviving even some of the big ones if they where to occur... Although like I said, vulvanoes has the potential of killing almost all the life of a planet, so nowhere is *truly* safe... Of course, like I said, the vulvanoes on Hawaii is relatively safe by vulvanic standards, or have been, so far...
The whole island chain of Hawaii is built on volcanos deposit into lava time after time. Every tree, every plant currently growing in Hawaii is doing so on top of lava. Without volcanoes, there would nothing but water where Hawaii is today. Volcanoes are the creators, they give the gift of land and life above the water. We need to be thankful them.
@@blakewentley annoying nitpicking, like the monkey vs ape vs "true ape" thing, I'm guessing "rock" is a broad term that "solidified lava" technically doesn't fall into 🤷♂️ aka OMG WHOOOOOOO CARES

I lived on a farm in Puna (Andy's Organics on Papaya Farms Rd) in the 90's, and it's sad to see all the beauty that was taken in the '18 flow. Green Lake, one of the most 'magical' places I've ever seen, gone. That lady in the beginning, on the bike crossing the lava, where she lives used to be the most stunning natural hot pools along the coast. And Pohoiki Bay, where the boat ramp was, was an epic surf break-- all along that coast. All gone. Also, one thing the story missed-- yes, many Hawaiian families live there not just because the land is cheap, but because they were intentionally displaced from the wealthier islands in the 60's and 70's to make room for tourism. And lastly, as one who just lived through the La Soufrière volcano eruption on St. Vincent and the Grenadines, this past April-- the lava may replenish the soil, but it also loads it with tons of heavy metals that are never studied as to their long term health impacts from consuming the produce...
Welcome to Mother Earth... Humans have come to believe we can control everything in our lives... but that just proves how ignorant and foolish we are... we now believe that Climate Change is 100% manmade and that we can stop it... LOL...

That was my exact thought too. The property is cheaper nearby , but is it cheap enough to be 60+ and potentially lose everything ? I know people call this place home, but living in some of these parts makes no sense when you know the potential destruction of the volcano. At that point your at the whim of nature which can be very unpredictable.

@hatebreed☪️ your name suits you well. You should probably put your hood back on. You clearly don’t understand politics & the history of this country if you don’t understand that the US has destroyed these countries & we have a responsibility to help. The US isn’t innocent & it’s reaches & destruction are far. Google is your friend.
I’m living 5 minutes away from the crater, been here three years and I am loving this video and the awareness to the issues of the community that it is raising! Thank you for covering this important information! Loved seeing Auntie Em’s shining face and I cried seeing the Hula on the side of the crater where I myself give offerings. Mahalo Tūtū Pele for showing your red glow again. We are so incredibly blessed.
I lived on the Big Island for about a decade, this makes me so very very homesick. My daughter was walking barefoot out to the flowing lava before she was 2, she’s a badass!
I personally have absolutely no issue with people choosing to live the “danger zone” of volcanoes, tornadoes, earthquakes, landslides, floods, etc.! My issue comes in the money that is taken via community, state, national & international sources in the name of rebuilding homes in that same area. Another great example are all the homes and farms that were knowingly built and expanded right on top of the Mississippi River flood plains. Or when homes and businesses are destroyed, rebuilt but nothing is changed, improved or updated to lower the damage and risk. It’s one thing to have really random areas flood or have hurricanes. Homes are damaged, fine, ask fema and every similar agency for all the help you need. But there needs to be a limit. When the Mississippi flooded really badly in the 90’s, so many homes had been destroyed before and rebuilt right on the exact same place. After the first disaster, if you’re in a disaster prone area, I have issue with continually rebuilding a home that’s just gonna be destroyed in the next decade.
Ok, but we can't all fit in the UK. Most of the US is prone to at least one natural disaster. East and Gulf Coast get hurricanes. The Mississippi River floods. The Midwest gets tornadoes. The West burns. California has earthquakes. Hawaii has a volcano.
Where in America is there a "safe" zone? Mt. ST Helen's eruption will reshape North America. Twisters are everywhere, from down in Arizona to all the way up to Ohio. Wildfire can happen anywhere with drout, America is in drought since the dust storms. Please elaborate.
I think if people choose to live somewhere, and are paying taxes, then the government should offer basic infrastructure and services to support those people. Things like roads, water treatment, and electricity. Those can and should be rebuilt. If people actively choose to live there (in a place they know will likely be destroyed again), then they should cover the costs of rebuilding their homes. But I do notice a theme in this video that I’ve seen in other places. Some people are moving or living in that area because it’s cheaper and they can’t afford to live in safer areas. You see it in slums overseas. People build houses in places that are at high risk of natural disaster because there aren’t any other suitable options they can afford. So that needs to be addressed in Hawaii, in America, and across the world. Otherwise people will continue to move to high risk regions out of necessity. And for those of you who are saying there are natural disaster risks everywhere, yes it’s true. However, in California where they have earthquakes, they require large structures to be built with earthquake-resistant technology to keep them from collapsing. In Florida, areas at high risk of flooding have building restrictions, and if you do manage to get a permit, your structure has to be raised off the ground and meet stringent building codes. In the midwest, where they can’t stop tornadoes, they build storm shelters where people can stay while the tornadoes are ripping through the community. Since there is no lava-proofing technology, it’s fair to ask that people stop putting themselves in danger and expecting the government to pay for their losses. Especially for those people who choose to live there. If there was a lava-proof building material, the government would be paying for all those houses to be equipped with it. But there’s not, so for people who have a choice, they should pay for the consequences of their decisions. The Hawaiian government is literally buying land to keep people from living there. So they are trying to mitigate the damage.
If y’all do a Hurricane episode it would be an honor to be interviewed. I live in Southeast Louisiana and have been through Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Ida
I live about equal distance between Lake Charles and Baton Rouge, so we have been lucky as far as structural damage the last few years. I enjoy the wind until it starts throwing things around.

What most people don’t realize is that Kilauea has been “erupting” daily for over 30 years. Only thing is that the lava most often flows away from populated areas. Only when the lava shifts direction or a new lava vent opens up near homes does it make the news. However again, the Volcano, Kilauea has been erupting daily for decades.
I visited Hawai’i recently, and the respect that the culture has for volcanic effects makes me truly believe that earth has spirit, and that lava is a gift.
Its actually very beautiful...behind the destruction is the spirituality of it all...the mother, the earth, the fertility...what really does and does not belong to us, how we choose to deal w where and how we live our lives...I actually found it to be quite uplifting!!!
@Are You Going To Do The 'Ora Ora' Thing? That is a false narrative. The Host of Heaven created and designed everything you see just by speaking it into existence. Every volcano will soon be going off. This is now GOD giving the people what they have asked for. I would repent and fear the one who can send you to the lake of fire. The kingdom of the Lord is at hand. All other God's are false. Worship the one true GOD
@@AliceWonders22 I’m sorry but if you actually read the Bible it says man will destroy the earth. This is Satans world. The point of Jesus coming is to save the earth from hellfire. FYI if you believe in the Bible god doesn’t send anyone to hell, you’re asleep when your dead waiting for the resserection of the earth where Jesus will bring back the dead into the peaceful new world where there is no sickness, famine, death, sadness. God is love he is forgiving it’s whether if you accept him and are forgiving by repenting or believing when your resurrected. Your view of the Bible is from false religions within Christianity that spew hate. The world was never suppose to be like the Old Testament nor the New Testament but that’s what we seem to want yes the New Testament will happen but it’s to go back to paradise Jah will send satan back into the abyss during Armageddon. (This is for if you believe in Christianity, I understand everyone who disagrees with the laws and everything about the Bible and I sympathize with you but we need to focus on love the greatest thing we can do for one another.)
As a emergency disaster communicator here in Hawaii, a volcano is probably the least of our worries. People must realize that every island here in Hawaii was formed by volcanoes as each moved over the earth’s volcanic hotspot. There is truly a spirit of the land, the culture and the people of Hawaii that residents here come to respect. As a follower of Buddhism, the Hawaiian spirit many believe in compliments the religious beliefs of the people of Hawaii and the Hawaiian people themselves. I would call that, having your own roots in the soil. Many people don’t feel that until they’ve had an opportunity to simply hike around a volcano and witness the shear power of the planet we live on. I’ve never heard of anyone in Hawaii dying from a lava flow, only the spiritual respect of life a lava flow brings to each island in Hawaii and it’s people. Simply put, I believe…
Quite right, it is totally unstoppable. People have lived in places like this all their lives because these places have the finest soils in the world. They also have the most beautiful views. This of all the minerals in that soil.
"I can't believe anyone would live on the edges of an active volcano I just don't get it" I say living in a city that is routinely threatened by major hurricanes, sits below sea level but over a notoriously unpredictable fault line, has seen dozens of pandemics, and is prone to both regular and irregular flooding (including a week-long one that literally happened six years ago today).
@Mr. Dr. Prof. Skulhedface that’s not the point, the tourism and non natives moving in caused house prices to rocket which left natives unable to afford to buy homes.
@Mr. Dr. Prof. Skulhedface Tourism still plays a large part on why native Hawaiians can’t live in their own land. And why they have to move near an active volcano because it’s cheaper, yet they face the possibility of it getting destroyed.
@@viys3261 that's what tourism does....can't afford a house in my home state, Colorado because of all the rich Californians and Texans that buy up all the property.
Worlds "most dangerous" volcano gets an offering of an empty liquor bottle and some flowers. Clicked thinking Yellowstone was about to send humanity back to the stone-age.
Not an empty liquor bottle, its full of Gin, Pele likes gin. Living on Hawaii is not just living on the land its also living in peace and understanding of the spiritual culture and beliefs. The Goddess Pele is real people! I've lived on Hawaii and respecting the culture is foremost as well as respecting the land. Mahalo nui loa!
@@blackwholesoul7049 believe it. At first, like many people, I laughed it off as just stories for visitors. And as a visitor I scoffed and brought home some black sand in a little vial and a small chunk of lava. Big mistake. I less than 6 months my husband of 25yrs asked for divorce. He managed to some how take ALL of Our retirement and give it to his new girlfriend. I decided to move to Hawaii. I got a great job, but was after I flew back to get interviewed. I brought the sand and lava back. Took a plane and rented a jeep to the big Island and returned that sand and lava, thanked Pele for the lesson and dumped some gin over the edge of the volcano as well as some leis. My luck changed, I got the job, found a nice inexpensive place to live, and stayed there for ten years. I learned to respect the culture and the beliefs of the Hawaiian people. I have had a number of interesting things that happened to me, along with witnesses, to know its real, and sometimes vary scary.

Obviously you have never been to puna. It’s full of chronics who disrespect the aina. Burnt out stolen cars, trash, and squatters. Don’t be fooled by tourist areas on Oahu, The real hawaii is full of racist locals of which most have zero Polynesian blood.
Kilauea is much less dangerous compared to Mt. St. Helens. I has been called "the drive in Volcano" because you can park and watch. It's dangerous if you stand in its path, but even the folks who have lost homes, haven't lost lives. Cheap land, beautiful soil. Calling the volcano dangerous I think is an overstatement. This area has been erupting non stop since 1983.
For a guy who lives 12 Miles within the Danger Zone of an Active Volcano. I can attest to what these guys are saying. I would take a Volcanic Eruption over any other disaster. This is the place where I was born, this is where I'll die 100 years from now Hawaii will become bigger
Kilauea dangerous? Not really. Kilauea eruptions aren't explosive in nature, unlike Mt. St. Helens in Washington, which blew off the top 1/3 of the mountain when it erupted in 1980. Mt. Rainier in Washington is by far the most dangerous volcano in the US because it's geologically unstable if it explodes you can write off Seattle and the surrounding area.
The volcano map COMPLETLEY ignored New Zealand. We've had one of the biggest prehistory eruptions on the planet, and volcanoes around that area are still very active now. Good one guys, NZ forgotten as always.
@@nfltoday7968 Usually people say "deadliest" or "most destructive" in this case, but most dangerous technically works too since Yellowstone hasn't ever been dangerous to us. Hopefully it stays that way for a long time.
A couple of years ago I lived not too far from the lava-covered area and those were some of the best years of my life just simply because of the community and the simple lifestyle away from big cities! You also accept that Pele is just doing her thing, it's her land and we're guests in her backyard. From personal experience I would choose lava flow over wildfire, flood and tornado areas. When you're in touch with people who live with the land it gives you a different perspective and appreciation for all that you have. We've been actually thinking about moving back in the next few years when we finished what we need to finish on the mainland. It's hard to understand for some people why some still choose to live there, you would have to experience to understand...

I love how they're all so chill about a natural disaster. Buddy compared it to building a home somewhere prone to wildfires, which really isn't a valid comparison because the chances of your home being destroyed anywhere prone to wildfires is way less likely than his home being destroyed by a volcano. Clearly having to deal with a constantly erupting volcano that could destroy their homes has not only toughened them up but also humbled them and seems to have made them less materialistic
@@hithere7382 Very true. I live on/in my bed so making it is fairly essential. But it is true that we have a lot of things we can give up, Always good to take a second look at WHY we do things a certain way.
In Puerto Rico we don't have volcanoes but we have storms, hurricanes and earthquakes. Currently we are suffering daily blackouts because the power grid was never reconstructed since category 5 hurricane Maria destroyed everything 4 years ago.
"Americas Most Dangerous Volcano" Maybe it holds the title of most active but are we just gonna act like an active, world ending super volcano isnt right under Yellow Stone. I think thats pretty freakin dangerous. Or Im just crazy. Arent we all tho.
Mt Rainer is the most dangerous, if Yellowstone erupted it would be the most destructive but it is likely we would have 100s of years of warning signs and it is doubtful the hotspot is even hot enough to erupt on a large scale. Mt Rainer is magnitudes of order more likely to erupt and its lahar flows could reach several cities around Seattle.
Please take one thing away from this. Kilauea is not doing the "erupting" you're probably thinking of. Any time a volcano has active, moving lava on the Earth's surface, it is considered to be "erupting". Kilauea currently has multiple active vents which are, in fact, pushing lava out onto the Earth's surface, but they are entirely constrained to the volcano's central caldera. It's basically a giant bowl for the lava to go and sit in. No property or livelihoods are currently being threatened by Kilauea at this time, and is actually quite safe to visit! The most dangerous part of the volcano right now are the elevated emissions of SO2 gas, and even when visiting the National Park, levels are low enough for me, someone with prior debilitating respiratory illnesses, to visit for multiple hours without any issues whatsoever. Kilauea is not dangerous right now.
I'm feeling grateful to have Tutu Pele breathing again. The Vog from the volcano has already stabilized the weather back to how It had been for decades up until a couple years ago here in South Kona. Ever since the 2018 eruption ended it has been raining just about every day year round here. Haven't felt a drop in three days now and Im loving it!
Love this episode! I’m born and raised on the Big Island (Hilo) when the 2018 lava flow took hundreds of houses it also took my childhood memories at Kapoho. Let’s see what Pele will do next. 🙏🏼🤙🏽
One thing that always makes me wonder. Type of lava in Hawaii acts as a fluid and will flow to the lowest point first. Those areas should be deemed no build or temporary dwelling only.
I love that they are like “even with modern technology it can’t be stopped” then immediately pans to perfect road straight through active volcano flow zone.
@@troymixwell7681 well, considering that the Yellowstone volcano stretches from SW Montana into NW Wyoming, and old faithful, and the numerus thermal pools(which temperature fluctuation ranges from a perfect 80°F to 1500°F in seconds)there are plenty of reminders that it is very much still an active volcano.
I live in california where we have thousands of earthquakes on the daily most of which you dont feel. Every hundred years a big one is supposed to hit, yet everyone wants to live here. Yet there is a 45 million people living here.
Until you experience the realization that the land is part of your family you won't comprehend what draws them there. It's not just a place. Its ohana.
I might add that this is one of the "nice" volcanoes that you can walk or jog out of the way of danger. You absolutely would not want to build your house next to a volcano which is explosive and can produce a pyroclastic flow. Those things are horrifying...
I saw a documentary about this a while ago. Scenes of the lava advancing slowly, steadily eating everything in it's path. They interviewed a local woman, who said in a lovely soft Hawai'ian accent Well, this is Pele's land. And if Pele comes for her land, you let her have it.
So... Why build real homes at all? Wouldn't a trailer that can be moved away make way more sense? Also funding their rebuilding efforts right next to the volcano seems really stupid and wasteful.
They explained in the explained that people chose to stay there because it’s less expensive. Especially if you’re a native Hawaiian who wants to stay in their land but can’t afford it, you have no choice but going for the cheaper option.
@@Ashley-km4qi sure use the land but building a more or less permanent structure when it's reasonable to assume that the lava will come back every few years for a certain while. A trailer or caravan home however would allow them to move it away when that time comes. Surely not ideal but better than loosing it all and having to restart from zero.
So, I'm trying to sleep in a shelter for homeless, mentally ill, addicts, alcoholics, and such. In the hopes of finding peace tonite I am watching this video. And I am finding it. Thank you. I will keep all who live there in my thoughts and ask Creator for help for you all.

In 2018, I did a boat lava tour, which left out of a park with Pohoiki boat ramp in Puna, right before the eruption. It was not only amazing, but educational. Such a shame that the ramp hasn’t been rebuilt. But, if you ever get the chance to do a boat lava tour, do it. Support a local business, as it is their lively hood. But, make sure you book with a responsible and licensed boat company.
Looks like paradise. Everything is transient, the struggles just make the good things sweeter. If I could go there, live on a mostly fish diet, and chip away day by day at the lava flow that's blocked the boat ramp that would be amazing.
“I would take a volcano disaster over any other disaster” Try saying that to the people of Pompeii. I’m sure you’re mind will change as you watch a 2000 degree centigrade pyroclastic flow headed your way at 200mph! 😂
My home got destroyed by lava, oh let me by the ONLY house right in the middle of the lava field that survived. That’s very counter productive…considering the volcano is still erupting.

I believe the literal translation of Kilauea is wandering. The lava wanders.
nobody got killed because lava is slow moving so you have plenty of time to evacuate.
Says Americas most dangerous Volcano.... to be fair
"So why do people live near an actively erupting volcano?"... "Why would you build a house in an area that's prone to wildfires?" All valid questions.
Some people have no choice, check out Ecuador
Why do people live in tornado alley? It’s a place to live. For money, it’s a cheap place to live.
It’s not really though but tell yourself that.
Just like asking, "why do people build houses near rivers if it floods?"
Why do people build houses near the ocean if there's a chance for storms...
As an Aussie that’s spent over 30 years working side by side with pacific island people I just want to say that I am in awe of both their culture and their attitude towards life. Ka pai, ahoa!
@exposing truth what?
@exposing truth thank you for taking the time to point that out…you’re so righteous! Do you feel better now?
@exposing truth I don’t think they said all pacific islanders are pagan worshippers, but I don’t think you can deny that different regions of the world tend to have certain cultures.
Not every islander nation are paganistic but you can’t deny that aspect of their culture, history and identity.
Im Lithuanian, Lithuania was once tge biggest paganistic empire in europe. To this day they are roman catholic but we can see the uses of herbs and wooden sculptures really show its pagan influence over the country.
I wouldn’t be offended if someone suggested that we have a pagan culture or at least a pagan influenced culture

Not sure of the exact part of the video that you are commenting on.
However vulvanoes does have other tricks up their sleeves then the slow moving lavas of Hawaii.
Some places lava flows *fast*.
But the *real* killer is usually pyroclastic flows that can move as fast as 700 km/h and cross 50+ km of water floating on a cushion of steam from the water being boiled underneath the flow by the insanely hot dust particles making up the flow.
And even if you survive such flows a vulvano can still fill the air with ashes filled with tiny glass particles that once you breath them in will start to cut up your lungs just as badly as asbestose, potentially killing you before you get away, and even if you manage to get away potentially damaging you for life.
Vulvanoes can melt glaciers causing flash floods that can wash away entire villages, and these flash floods can contain ashes that then solidifies into essentially sement around anyone caught in the floods so you can't escape, or be dug out.
And if there's builders included any buildings involved can be crushed till there's nothing bigger then matches left.
Almost the least of your problems near a vulvano is that they can throw lava far, far up into the sky that can solidify into huge hot builders that can come raining down crushing you, usually they're not much bigger than your head though, so a solid house roof might deflect them.
Of course any vegetation can be set alight so you'll have to deal with wildfires.
The rapidly rising gasses filled with particles can create a lot of static electricity, potentially causing lightning strikes, I don't need to tell you that those can be deadly...
Tiny glass particles inside modern jet engines can of course cause a plane to lose engine power.
And the gasses released by the vulvano has different properties then the air that the plane was designed to fly through potentially causing a plane to drop literally like a rock instead of gliding, since there's no air to glide through.
That's... "fun"...
Lava or magma expanding and contracting the ground can cause earthquakes with all that entails...
Like seriously, it would probably be faster to list all the ways of killing you that a vulvano *can't* cause...
If you include indirect potential methods included I really can't think of any in a hurry...
I mean, the heat could even trigger stored ammunition potentially shooting people for goodness sake, not to mention being stabbed by a branche in a flood, so even death by piercing damage is within it's repertoire...
I mean, I guess I haven't heard of a vulvano ever killing anyone with radiation poisoning yet...
Although I can imagine situations where that could be achieved...
Yes, I've spent a *lot* of time thinking about possible ways to be killed by a vulvano...
(Icelandic citizen living abroad, but still with family in the country)
As for the dangers of lava itself, you are aware of how 7 million km in Russia in essence is all basalt rocks left after a single gigantic vulvanic eruption that almost killed all life on this planet?
That's 4 million km^3 of basalt left by a single vulvanic event.
In such a situation I really don't think that there would be anywhere left *without* lava for you to flee too...
(A similar but much smaller scale event on Iceland in 1784 caused the French revolution by causing a huge famine resulting in unrest, killing a estimated 1/4th of the population of Iceland, as well as a estimated 23 000 British people killed by poisoning and another 8 000 Brits by climatic effects, about 1/6th of the population of Egypt, a unknown but large number of deaths in the Sahel region of Africa, 920 000 people in Japan, large but unknown numbers elsewhere in Europe (the poisonous cloud drifted in over Denmark-Norway, Bohemia and a number of other countries).
If you include the indirect deaths caused by the political outfalls of the vulvano then you can include all of the French wars in that equation too...
So many millions there...
I short, vulvanoes are bloodying *terrifying*.
And I'm glad that I'm living a long, long distance away from the closest one, where I'll have a pretty good chance of surviving even some of the big ones if they where to occur...
Although like I said, vulvanoes has the potential of killing almost all the life of a planet, so nowhere is *truly* safe...
Of course, like I said, the vulvanoes on Hawaii is relatively safe by vulvanic standards, or have been, so far...
@@Luredreier wtf is a vulvanoe? Also, none of what you mentioned happened.

I lived on a farm in Puna (Andy's Organics on Papaya Farms Rd) in the 90's, and it's sad to see all the beauty that was taken in the '18 flow. Green Lake, one of the most 'magical' places I've ever seen, gone. That lady in the beginning, on the bike crossing the lava, where she lives used to be the most stunning natural hot pools along the coast. And Pohoiki Bay, where the boat ramp was, was an epic surf break-- all along that coast. All gone. Also, one thing the story missed-- yes, many Hawaiian families live there not just because the land is cheap, but because they were intentionally displaced from the wealthier islands in the 60's and 70's to make room for tourism. And lastly, as one who just lived through the La Soufrière volcano eruption on St. Vincent and the Grenadines, this past April-- the lava may replenish the soil, but it also loads it with tons of heavy metals that are never studied as to their long term health impacts from consuming the produce...

The island of Hawaii is still a baby, and it’s still growing 🤙🏽💪🏽
I lived on the Big Island for about a decade, this makes me so very very homesick. My daughter was walking barefoot out to the flowing lava before she was 2, she’s a badass!
I personally have absolutely no issue with people choosing to live the “danger zone” of volcanoes, tornadoes, earthquakes, landslides, floods, etc.! My issue comes in the money that is taken via community, state, national & international sources in the name of rebuilding homes in that same area.
Another great example are all the homes and farms that were knowingly built and expanded right on top of the Mississippi River flood plains. Or when homes and businesses are destroyed, rebuilt but nothing is changed, improved or updated to lower the damage and risk.
It’s one thing to have really random areas flood or have hurricanes. Homes are damaged, fine, ask fema and every similar agency for all the help you need. But there needs to be a limit. When the Mississippi flooded really badly in the 90’s, so many homes had been destroyed before and rebuilt right on the exact same place. After the first disaster, if you’re in a disaster prone area, I have issue with continually rebuilding a home that’s just gonna be destroyed in the next decade.
Ok, but we can't all fit in the UK. Most of the US is prone to at least one natural disaster. East and Gulf Coast get hurricanes. The Mississippi River floods. The Midwest gets tornadoes. The West burns. California has earthquakes. Hawaii has a volcano.
Where in America is there a "safe" zone? Mt. ST Helen's eruption will reshape North America. Twisters are everywhere, from down in Arizona to all the way up to Ohio. Wildfire can happen anywhere with drout, America is in drought since the dust storms. Please elaborate.
I think if people choose to live somewhere, and are paying taxes, then the government should offer basic infrastructure and services to support those people. Things like roads, water treatment, and electricity. Those can and should be rebuilt. If people actively choose to live there (in a place they know will likely be destroyed again), then they should cover the costs of rebuilding their homes.
But I do notice a theme in this video that I’ve seen in other places. Some people are moving or living in that area because it’s cheaper and they can’t afford to live in safer areas. You see it in slums overseas. People build houses in places that are at high risk of natural disaster because there aren’t any other suitable options they can afford. So that needs to be addressed in Hawaii, in America, and across the world. Otherwise people will continue to move to high risk regions out of necessity.
And for those of you who are saying there are natural disaster risks everywhere, yes it’s true. However, in California where they have earthquakes, they require large structures to be built with earthquake-resistant technology to keep them from collapsing. In Florida, areas at high risk of flooding have building restrictions, and if you do manage to get a permit, your structure has to be raised off the ground and meet stringent building codes. In the midwest, where they can’t stop tornadoes, they build storm shelters where people can stay while the tornadoes are ripping through the community. Since there is no lava-proofing technology, it’s fair to ask that people stop putting themselves in danger and expecting the government to pay for their losses. Especially for those people who choose to live there. If there was a lava-proof building material, the government would be paying for all those houses to be equipped with it. But there’s not, so for people who have a choice, they should pay for the consequences of their decisions. The Hawaiian government is literally buying land to keep people from living there. So they are trying to mitigate the damage.

What most people don’t realize is that Kilauea has been “erupting” daily for over 30 years. Only thing is that the lava most often flows away from populated areas. Only when the lava shifts direction or a new lava vent opens up near homes does it make the news. However again, the Volcano, Kilauea has been erupting daily for decades.

As a emergency disaster communicator here in Hawaii, a volcano is probably the least of our worries. People must realize that every island here in Hawaii was formed by volcanoes as each moved over the earth’s volcanic hotspot.
There is truly a spirit of the land, the culture and the people of Hawaii that residents here come to respect. As a follower of Buddhism, the Hawaiian spirit many believe in compliments the religious beliefs of the people of Hawaii and the Hawaiian people themselves. I would call that, having your own roots in the soil. Many people don’t feel that until they’ve had an opportunity to simply hike around a volcano and witness the shear power of the planet we live on. I’ve never heard of anyone in Hawaii dying from a lava flow, only the spiritual respect of life a lava flow brings to each island in Hawaii and it’s people. Simply put, I believe…
This is my home, I live in Hilo. moved away for about 7 years in the military. born and raised. Love my home. Mahalo for this video.
In a way, it’s easy to see the spirituality that is evoked by such a natural force - so powerful, so beautiful, so embracing.
Such a beautiful job covering this story. It is a treasure.
Quite right, it is totally unstoppable. People have lived in places like this all their lives because these places have the finest soils in the world. They also have the most beautiful views. This of all the minerals in that soil.
"I can't believe anyone would live on the edges of an active volcano I just don't get it" I say living in a city that is routinely threatened by major hurricanes, sits below sea level but over a notoriously unpredictable fault line, has seen dozens of pandemics, and is prone to both regular and irregular flooding (including a week-long one that literally happened six years ago today).

We've been actually thinking about moving back in the next few years when we finished what we need to finish on the mainland. It's hard to understand for some people why some still choose to live there, you would have to experience to understand...

“Well, God Covic-19 V3.0 Delta isn’t quiet doing the job you intended it to do so the Volcano 🌋 idea seems seems to be a great alternative - Let’s let CRIMINAL AmeriKKKa have it with both barrels God! I’ll close 😴 my eyes! 🌋🇺🇸🌋🇺🇸🌋🇺🇸🌋🌋 Amén! 🙏🏻
@@davidsalcido383 How are you doing David? Is everything ok?
I love how they're all so chill about a natural disaster. Buddy compared it to building a home somewhere prone to wildfires, which really isn't a valid comparison because the chances of your home being destroyed anywhere prone to wildfires is way less likely than his home being destroyed by a volcano. Clearly having to deal with a constantly erupting volcano that could destroy their homes has not only toughened them up but also humbled them and seems to have made them less materialistic
you're funny
wildfires don't melt rock
If there's one thing people have managed to learn, it's that you shouldn't give away land to governments. Good luck to those people that stay. ;^)
Your organs when the water kicks in... 14:45
What a beautiful cycle of life and regeneration to live on a volcano
Also, I get mad I have to remake my bed every day.
You don't have to make your bed. You just do it because you were conditioned to do it.
@@hithere7382 Very true. I live on/in my bed so making it is fairly essential. But it is true that we have a lot of things we can give up, Always good to take a second look at WHY we do things a certain way.
I panicked for a second thinking those was Yosemite erupting.
Lol definitely don't want that.
That’s why I clicked
Same
Yeah Half Dome could go off at any time.
🙄
You are thinking of Yellowstone.
When you hear someone say Krakatoa from the bathroom stall next to you befor violently erupting.
💩😂
Jesus Christ
Better than "mudslide Coming, watch out"
I’m totally stealing this idea! ..even though most people haven’t heard of Krakatoa
Am I the only one that thinks, “why are all the volcanos erupting at the same time???”
In Puerto Rico we don't have volcanoes but we have storms, hurricanes and earthquakes. Currently we are suffering daily blackouts because the power grid was never reconstructed since category 5 hurricane Maria destroyed everything 4 years ago.
Yellowstone is the most dangerous, but least active.
...I'd rather have flow than blow
(with limits)
*least active* it has active geothermal features, when those stop....that's when it's an issue.
@@martinbridge7967 Its basaltic;
Actually my ass is more dangerous and more active after some Taco bell.
"Americas Most Dangerous Volcano"
Maybe it holds the title of most active but are we just gonna act like an active, world ending super volcano isnt right under Yellow Stone. I think thats pretty freakin dangerous. Or Im just crazy. Arent we all tho.
Exactly what I was thinking honestly
Didn't see this, I just said the same thing!
Exactly!
Mt Rainer is the most dangerous, if Yellowstone erupted it would be the most destructive but it is likely we would have 100s of years of warning signs and it is doubtful the hotspot is even hot enough to erupt on a large scale. Mt Rainer is magnitudes of order more likely to erupt and its lahar flows could reach several cities around Seattle.
Fear porn
Kilauea is definitely NOT America's most dangerous volcano, in fact it's America's least dangerous volcano.
Fr what happened to Yellowstone?
They literally say no one died from it and they'd prefer that over any other type of natural disaster lolol
Leave it to a dude holding a drum to say a volcano is very spiritual.
Please take one thing away from this. Kilauea is not doing the "erupting" you're probably thinking of. Any time a volcano has active, moving lava on the Earth's surface, it is considered to be "erupting". Kilauea currently has multiple active vents which are, in fact, pushing lava out onto the Earth's surface, but they are entirely constrained to the volcano's central caldera. It's basically a giant bowl for the lava to go and sit in. No property or livelihoods are currently being threatened by Kilauea at this time, and is actually quite safe to visit! The most dangerous part of the volcano right now are the elevated emissions of SO2 gas, and even when visiting the National Park, levels are low enough for me, someone with prior debilitating respiratory illnesses, to visit for multiple hours without any issues whatsoever. Kilauea is not dangerous right now.
I'm feeling grateful to have Tutu Pele breathing again. The Vog from the volcano has already stabilized the weather back to how It had been for decades up until a couple years ago here in South Kona. Ever since the 2018 eruption ended it has been raining just about every day year round here. Haven't felt a drop in three days now and Im loving it!
Love this episode! I’m born and raised on the Big Island (Hilo) when the 2018 lava flow took hundreds of houses it also took my childhood memories at Kapoho. Let’s see what Pele will do next. 🙏🏼🤙🏽
You have your memories! The Aina just looks different like it did wayyyy before we came and made our memories, that's all.
Boots!
Damn, mother nature is just straight up pissed at us isn't she
vulcano's have been erupting as long as the earth excists. nothing to do with us.
@@joostverra9130 the disasters are getting worse.
It is the signs of Jesus soon return.
That’s not how any of this works Marcus
@@jeremiahduran7238 in comparison too what? The last 1000 years? Maybe. Compared to humanities past, not so much.
One thing that always makes me wonder. Type of lava in Hawaii acts as a fluid and will flow to the lowest point first. Those areas should be deemed no build or temporary dwelling only.
I love that they are like “even with modern technology it can’t be stopped” then immediately pans to perfect road straight through active volcano flow zone.
Oh, I thought it was Yellowstone. I'd have expected that to be americas most dangerous all things considered. Especially if it went kaboom again.
There's a difference between "is" and "could be".
I thought Yellowstone 2
Definitely Yellowstone
@@aaronlogan70 how? Please explain
@@troymixwell7681 well, considering that the Yellowstone volcano stretches from SW Montana into NW Wyoming, and old faithful, and the numerus thermal pools(which temperature fluctuation ranges from a perfect 80°F to 1500°F in seconds)there are plenty of reminders that it is very much still an active volcano.
Ever since I learned about volcanoes I’ve wondered why people choose to live near active ones. Thank you for this 🙏
I live in california where we have thousands of earthquakes on the daily most of which you dont feel. Every hundred years a big one is supposed to hit, yet everyone wants to live here. Yet there is a 45 million people living here.
Until you experience the realization that the land is part of your family you won't comprehend what draws them there. It's not just a place. Its ohana.
I might add that this is one of the "nice" volcanoes that you can walk or jog out of the way of danger. You absolutely would not want to build your house next to a volcano which is explosive and can produce a pyroclastic flow. Those things are horrifying...
@@ademite lier
isn't America's most "dangerous" volcano the Yellowstone's super-volcano?
Yes but it’s not active yet tho
Yeah and I clicked on here panicking for a second until I read Kilauea lol
Agree. Most dangerous in potential.
@@jakenorman3637 me too XD
Not just America's that is world most dangerous volcano.....
That man leading those women in dance connected at the deepest level to his spirituality was rad. GJ Vice
9:50 that guy has one of the most Hawaiian local voice I’ve ever heard
I saw a documentary about this a while ago. Scenes of the lava advancing slowly, steadily eating everything in it's path. They interviewed a local woman, who said in a lovely soft Hawai'ian accent
Well, this is Pele's land. And if Pele comes for her land, you let her have it.
So... Why build real homes at all? Wouldn't a trailer that can be moved away make way more sense?
Also funding their rebuilding efforts right next to the volcano seems really stupid and wasteful.
Wait till you find about what happens in flood plains after hurricanes.
Then why build near a river or in an earthquake zone? Your area could be just as at risk for another disaster, so why build there?
They explained in the explained that people chose to stay there because it’s less expensive. Especially if you’re a native Hawaiian who wants to stay in their land but can’t afford it, you have no choice but going for the cheaper option.
@@Ashley-km4qi sure use the land but building a more or less permanent structure when it's reasonable to assume that the lava will come back every few years for a certain while. A trailer or caravan home however would allow them to move it away when that time comes. Surely not ideal but better than loosing it all and having to restart from zero.
Anyone else wanna travel to Hawaii now? The locals seems like such nice people
Apparently they are not to fond of non-natives
@@Mr1159pm not entirely true. You have bad eggs anywhere.
Hawaii believes in "Take a step back to move two steps forward"
So, I'm trying to sleep in a shelter for homeless, mentally ill, addicts, alcoholics, and such. In the hopes of finding peace tonite I am watching this video.
And I am finding it. Thank you.
I will keep all who live there in my thoughts and ask Creator for help for you all.
Damn, all the people that lost homes probably forgot to cut the grass and rake leaves..
Def a township fine coming,couple parking tickets too
Looks like they really dodged a bullet there
No. They were praying to the wrong God
If I were lava, I’d have no tolerance for overgrown grass
Kilauea is absolutely not America's most dangerous volcano. Mt. Rainier is the one we should fear. Kilauea is exceptionally active tho.
I fear the Yellowstone megavolcano the most.
@@oneevilcat Yah, that's almost so apocalyptic it's not worth thinking about. The odds of that causing pain in the next 20 generations is low. Rainier on the other hand....
maybe they should build mobile homes, you know, like Howl's Moving Castle
That is a tremendously smart idea! They don't even have to be like regular mobile homes, they could be island specific, built out of durable, fire-retardant materials, meant to be put on a flatbed truck and transported quickly. Or even designed to be airlifted via military chopper if there are elderly people living there!
I THINK THEY SHOULD BUILD BOATS IN CASE THEY HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE,IS SMARTER BECAUSE MOBILEHOMES DOESN'T FLOAT LOL
@@SandraFernandezMX Why are you shouting? It's gonna be ok.

“AAAAAOOOUUUUUAAAAOOOGGGHHH”
-Katie Tutrone, many times over
*White people on the Big Island*: "Woe is me! The volcano destroyed our land!" (btw it was never your land)
*Hawaiian people on the Big Island*: "Thank you, Pele, for giving us more land and more opportunity to grow ourselves"
Who is Pele? And how long and what Hawaiians are connected to Pele, has Allah or JESUS BEEN TO THE ISLAND? Are Jesus Christ,Allah, and PELE friends? Do they get along? I’m so confused please help me understand?
And what makes some one white? Are DNA test needed, how can some one prove they are who and what they say they are or claim to be?
Look like what the Bible describes as HELL and eternal fire and brimstone.
@@monetschannel5773 they tell you in the video around 5:35 who tutupele was. Plus you do have a phone or something to do a quick Google search about the subject. Smart devices yet people ask the dumbest things and can't research.
@@SykotikShadow I’m just asking other questions I watched the video and listened to what was said, but did Jesus and Allah have communication with Pele? Is Pele above, below , or the same as Jesus and Allah? And neither Jesus or Allah were or is white FYI.
Its actually very beautiful...behind the destruction is the spirituality of it all...the mother, the earth, the fertility...what really does and does not belong to us, how we choose to deal w where and how we live our lives...I actually found it to be quite uplifting!!!
In 2018, I did a boat lava tour, which left out of a park with Pohoiki boat ramp in Puna, right before the eruption. It was not only amazing, but educational. Such a shame that the ramp hasn’t been rebuilt. But, if you ever get the chance to do a boat lava tour, do it. Support a local business, as it is their lively hood. But, make sure you book with a responsible and licensed boat company.
"If you lose anything to a volcano, it just wasn't yours to begin with anyway" - Mother Nature
Looks like paradise. Everything is transient, the struggles just make the good things sweeter.
If I could go there, live on a mostly fish diet, and chip away day by day at the lava flow that's blocked the boat ramp that would be amazing.
“I would take a volcano disaster over any other disaster”
Try saying that to the people of Pompeii. I’m sure you’re mind will change as you watch a 2000 degree centigrade pyroclastic flow headed your way at 200mph! 😂
Well I mean I would take a sheild volcano disaster over a strato volcano aswell.
what a stupid thing to say xD
Two COMPLETELY different kinds of volcanoes and eruptions. You’re comparing apples to oranges.
To be fair most other natural disaster kill way more people. Earthquakes and tsunamis are way deadlier.
The people of Pompeii passed away back in 79 AD.
4:39 "more than 80% of earth's surface is of volcano origin"
except for japan
@Nathaniel Svensson just look at the map
No one should stop you from rebuilding, but it is completely unreasonable to ask others to rebuild for you.
Damn I didn't know I was born and raised on the world's most dangerous volcano. Kilauea is my back yard.
The disrespect to Yellowstone is insane
My home got destroyed by lava, oh let me by the ONLY house right in the middle of the lava field that survived. That’s very counter productive…considering the volcano is still erupting.
From the title I presumed Yellowstone was about to kill us all
“America’s most dangerous volcano” is safer than most of the major cities on the mainland.
Look at her phaggy mask too lmao. What a sheep
Yellowstone volcano is easily the most dangerous. There isn't even a close second.
Love that. If you can't handle it, then I guess you have to go 🤷♂ . Too many people take the Hawaiian land for granted.
