    In 1980, I was a junior in high school living in Tacoma, about 92 miles away from Mt. St. Helens. My mom and I were at a shopping center when we noticed the volcano erupting. It was was enormous and clear as day. The plumes of ash were rolling up to the sky, and like I said, almost like they were in the next town over. We just stood there, awestruck. Probably the wildest thing I've ever seen or will ever see in my life. Our lawn, flowers and cars were covered in ash and for days afterward the sunsets were a beautiful shade of lavender from the ash. She's now 94 and still remembers it vividly. I'm in awe of nature's beauty and destructiveness. Thanks for posting this!

      A soft “ Boom “ woke me up that morning,…… thinking nothing of it I went back to sleep only to wake up a few hours later to literal inches of ash and small pumice stones already on the ground. It rained ash for several hours after until Centralia and Chehalis looked like the surface of the moon.

    It really gives you the sheer scale of things when stuff being filmed literally looks like they stop moving. Like it's happening in slow motion. When in reality, a rock that just flew into the ocean was probably a size of a house, flying a good few kilometers through the air. The smoke clouds basically looking like some weird rock formations, climbing several kilometers in height. Unbelievable stuff.

      The scientist David Johnston who worked for USGS was on a ridge about 4 miles from Mt St Helens doing readings with instruments. When the mountain start to go, he got on his radio to the USGS office in Vancouver and shouted "Vancouver, Vancouver, this is it." He was never heard from again.
      It is estimated that the lateral blast that blew out the north face of the mountain was traveling between 200-300 MPH and took less than a minute to reach him. When it hit him, his body spontaneously disintegrated.

    I'm surprised Mt. Etna footage didn't show up on this list as its Europes largest most active volcano (more so than Stromboli) and from what I understand Etna is studied very rigorously ensuring safety for tourism to climb

    • @forzacatainapalermo
      @forzacatainapalermo ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I agree. I am more afraid of a Vesuvio eruption compared to Etna or Stromboli since historically Vesuvio eruptions have caused mass deaths. However, i would still rank Etna above Stromboli. Etna is studied much more rigorously due to its activity to ensure safety for tourists and populations surrounding in Catania. Because of this rigorous study and estimations of when it will erupt, many lives have been saved over time. Even though Etna is at a higher elevation and more distant from towns and cities in Catania, its eruptions have caused massive damage to peoples lives from the ash as far west as Agrigento where my family comes from. Stromboli is a younger volcano with perhaps more unpredictable eruptions but the island is only inhabited by 600-800 people. Because stromboli is more unpredictable one could say its more dangerous than Etna, but I think the fact that Etna is in a more densely populated region and visited by more tourists out of convenience it has to be regarded as more dangerous to the lives of people. INGV of Catania makes Etna less dangerous. They also study stromboli but more money is invested in Etna has its more visited. In fact, i would rank Monte Pilato in Lipari as being more dangerous and something I fear more than both stromboli and Etna. I think Sicily's most dangerous volcano is Monte Pilato. Like Vesuvio, Pilato has been dormant for centuries but its still active and not completely asleep. The next eruption could wipe out the entire island of Lipari

    • @carolynallisee2463
      @carolynallisee2463 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Lava is certainly eye-catching, and can be extremely destructive, but of all the things a volcano can throw (sometimes literally!) at people it is probably the least lethal. Even when spewing straight from it's vent, and yellow hot, lava doesn't move fast enough to overwhelm people. In fact, I can think of only one eruption in the last 100 years where a lava flow was speedy enough to catch and kill people. It's safe to say that things like pyroclastic flows, volcanic mudflows, and even something as simple as dips in the ground filled with volcano produced carbon dioxide have killed more people than lava flows have.

      There was a documentary on Netflix about it. There were several tour boats that went sequentially to the island after the prior boat & tour group left. The footage in this compilation is from one of the boats that had already toured and was leaving the island. The documentary gives the account of the people actually on the island when it erupted. They were enveloped in hot steam and ash, essentially melting their skin like a boiled chicken. Only the ones who were at the edges closest to the beach survived who were able to shield themselves behind rocks, but they were still severely burned. It took at least 2 hours to get help and transport them to hospitals 30 miles away across the sea channel by boat. A very horrible story.

      Well anyone within about 50 miles in the first hour or so, then anyone downstream of the major rivers as the lahars travel downstream in the hours and days following, climatic effects are harder to predict. Assuming it blows as a VEI 8+. Given the unpredictable nature of volcanoes it could have smaller eruptions, or no eruptions at all.

    I had the strongest feeling that St. Helens would top this list I like how the narrator said that due to the remoteness of the region around Mt. St. Helens, it kept the death toll to only 57. In reality, it was the state troopers and park rangers keeping people out of the red zone in the days and weeks leading to the eruption 🌋 that saved so many more lives. That toll could have been hundreds of not thousands of deaths. The homeowners and business owners that were prevented from returning were probably pretty glad in the end. Surprised that the guy didn't mention anything about Harry R. Truman.

    That footage of Anak Krakatau was truly spectacular! Tnanks for this video.
    Fun fact - White Island is privately owned AFAIK.
    The burns suffered by people caught in that eru[ption were not only from hot ash, rocks and steam but to cap it all off, the water and vapours were basically sulphuric acid which by itself would have been bad enough but effectively rubbed salt into the wounds. I remember seeing the terrible burns and injuries (skinned alive) of survivors on TV and also remember that materials for skin grafts were obtained from other countries as local burns surgeons did the amazing job of healing injured people over months. The agony must have been horrendous.
    More amazing still though is that litigation of authorities including GNS is ongoing. It is unbelievable that a scientific organization is being taken to task under health and safety legislation for being culpable when they are simply monitoring and garnering knowledge about our volcanic hotspots and hardly responsible for people knowingly walking into an active crater without understanding what the consequences might be. Shades of an Italian scientific establishment being sued for not predicting earthquakes. What ??????????

Putting wet clothing from the uninjured onto the burns of the injured. Burns down to the bone. People screaming in pain. Some passing away on the 20 minute boat ride to shore.
    The stories of those who perished on the island are very sad. From a dad and his two daughters to guides of the tour. One wasn't supposed to even be working that day.
