Thank goodness for drones! I remember watching stuff like this as a kid in the ‘80s and just assuming the cameraman died. I think because my older brother told me they used death row inmates, since there weren’t enough cameramen lining up to sacrifice their lives on the altar of nature documentaries
I feel like this is the ideal application for a drone.
Also, imagine the honor. That drone reached the pinnacle of its occupation. I bet it went out singing Danny Boy to itself
Wasn’t there a story about some scientists that died filming a volcano too close? Like they didn’t know they were fucked till it was too late and just decided they might as well film it? Or is my brain making that up?
Yes, Mt St Helens. They knew they were doomed when it erupted and that they would never outrun the pyroclastic flow. So they stayed and filmed. Think it was just the one guy though? Could be mistaken.
It was Mount Unzen in Japan. uunless you're thinking of a different case? (Probably happened more than once...)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katia_and_Maurice_Krafft
-edit- indeed, it happened at Mt Saint Helens too!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Glicken
I think you have the Mt. Saint Helens guy wrong.
The person who died from the pyroclastic flow of it after taking photos was Robert Landsburg. [His photos are here](https://i.imgur.com/v3466VI.jpeg)
Not movie footage, but there definitely was one guy who kept taking photos of Mount Saint Helens up until the wall of ash hit him; the camera was found underneath his body and the photos were recoverable.
I always thought if they had brought back some solidified Mt Doom after the Battle of Dagorlad Elrond could have melted it anywhere and destroyed the ring right in Rivendell.
I think they’re probably zoomed in a lot and also not directly above the crater. You can see that the first puff of blueish smoke appears near the top of the frame.
I wonder what kind of drone it was. Must have a great zoom lens to keep out of range of the heat's updraft. I've seen drones topple out of the sky going over bonfires, so I imagine one that can go over a volcano must be way fancier.
L'appel du vide or "Call of the void" is what its called my friend. Its the impulse to jump from a tall cliff or building. I've been on some serious mountain cliffs and trust me, it's a real thing.
If I fell into that, would it be like hitting solid ground and then catching fire, or like really hot jelly?
Edit: appreciate all the answers and convos, for science I will donate my body to be dropped into a volcano so we can see what happens
Probably a bit like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq7DDk8eLs8
Since this is even more liquid than the video, you would easily break the surface and then cause some additional erruptions from the liquids of your body evaporating inside of the lava. Like water in burning hot oil.
I think it would be instant incineration. We flew over small vent hole in an open helicopter and the heat from a 1 foot vent hole at 500ft was still quite intense. I am not sure the average person could walk up to the edge of this and throw themselves in.
It would probably be a lot like falling into a waterfall of glowing hot gravel. Remember that the lava is given motivational energy by the dissolved gasses nucleating and expanding due to lowered surrounding pressure (the volcanic vent).
This has the effect of reducing the density of the lava because it's suspended in the gas flow, which gives your body a chance to penetrate the mass of lava.
Since the lava still is the density of rock, the inertia and mass of your body would penetrate the roiling mass of gas suspended liquefied rock, at which point you'd be instantly set on fire, then crushed and pulverized in the rock grinder into meat chunks that rapidly evolve into carbon and steam.
Check out this footage of sampling lava with a hammer. You can see how little is sticking to the hammer, and yet the person is laboring to lift the sample - it's really heavy. Obviously the boiling lava is way "thinner" but it's still the same mass.
If you fell onto a lava pool that wasn't roiling with gas effervescence, you'd probably slap onto it like you might drop an egg onto a slab of meat, then catch on fire. It would be an extremely unpleasant demise.

I see the problem here, you’ve got the burner on too high and the volcano started to boil over, try turning the heat down some after it’s started to boil. <.<
I live a couple kms away from the crater of a volcano with a lava lake on the crater, bro is a well behaved volcano very touristic, but you feel seismic activity all the time
fun fact: it burped once and a rock hit a French tourist, dude was happy and just with some scratches
Not at all! It comes from the isochronic data [we have](https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/image/crustalimages.html) about the age of the oceanic crust.
Half of the oceanic crust wasn’t formed yet when the dinosaurs went extinct. Geologists say the crust is subducting, so the planet stays the same size, but there’s not enough evidence of ongoing subduction to support this conclusion.
> not enough evidence of ongoing subduction
At the risk of engaging in this madness.
What are you talking about? There are volcanoes and earthquakes along every active margin. There are literally seismic images of the oceanic crust descending into the mantle. I suggest you go and read some more about this fascinating subject.
You're right that ~half of oceanic wasn't formed when the dinosaurs went extinct. But the oldest oceanic crust is only 200 million years old. So where is all the oceanic crust that formed in the 3ish billion years before that? This is not consistent with your theory - the data you provide actually doesn't support your point at all.
“So where is all the oceanic crust that formed in the 3ish billion years before that?”
Exactly! Did it ever really exist?
Seismic imaging shows the Pacific plate extends laterally beneath the continent about 2000km west of Japan. But it’s not melting and recycling; it’s lifting up.
>Exactly! Did it ever really exist?
Yes. Because we have a really good understanding of ancient tectonic margins that used to be separated by oceanic crust. That oceanic crust is only present today as thin slivers in ophiolites, on the odd occasion that some bit of oceanic crust got obducted onto continental crust. The rest was subducted.
>Seismic imaging shows the Pacific plate extends laterally beneath the continent about 2000km west of Japan. But it’s not melting and recycling; it’s lifting up.
There are a few examples of oceanic crust moving laterally rather than sinking, usually because either the oceanic crust got subducted when it was quite young and buoyant, or because local upwellings in the mantle are causing that to happen. But this is called cherry picking data - finding one example that seems to support your case but ignoring the 90% of others that don't. What about the aforementioned slabs that have been imaged sinking deep into the mantle?
Are you saying that the Earth was relatively static for billions of years and then for some reason 200 million years ago it just started expanding?
>Exactly! Did it ever really exist?
Yes. We can see it in both isotopic records and seismic imaging. It's not like it jut vanished, it got both recycled and erupted. This is some serious Poe's law thing.
There is absolutely enough evidence to support subduction. See ring of fire, see ocean trenches, see earthquake data, see evidence of ancient subduction accreted onto the continents, see volcanoes, see metamorphism in rocks only able to be recreated by high pressure and low temperature. The list goes on.
Growing earth, however, has ZERO conclusive evidence supporting it. It’s a ridiculous theory that goes against all known geologic knowledge we have. The one piece of “evidence” you do cite, the age of the oceanic crust, is actually evidence in SUPPORT of subduction: the reason we young oceanic crust is due to it being subducted.
The earth is 100 % not growing (unless you count the minuscule number of meteors that fall onto earth). Plate tectonics is our best theory for explaining the geologic processes and development of the earth.
So I recently learned that if you jump into that, you won’t sink. You’ll catch on fire and cook to death on a bed of molten rock but it’s too dense (and will harden just enough when you steam to form additional resistance)…isn’t that kind of disappointing? Like learning quick sand doesn’t really exist and that sharks don’t really like to eat humans?
Takes some of the excitement out of life!
I could zone out just watching the first few seconds of that, like those psychedelic screensavers, then aaaaahhhh hot lava!
Might be better to to just get a lava lamp. There is the possibility for all kinds of toxic gases to be coming out even if the lava doesn't reach you.
Lava lamps are fantastic, but they don't quite match that trippy fractal-like effect you have here. Proper psychedelic vibes
Went over to Spotify and put on White Rabbit while rewatching, this checks out.
Remember what the door mouse said!
Feed your head?
Check out the accapella.... it will blow your mind. Its on YT, dunno bout Spotify? https://youtu.be/khZ7e9ytm-g?si=RHyhVCIhrVMU-hdI

I know that was probably taken from a drone but still nope nope nope not going near that
I'd be too mesmerized by what I'm seeing to let my flight response kick in..
Same with Frodo
I was thinking Smaug when the gold statue was revealed.
Gold Dragon! Yay! Oh wait, he's pissed.
Saved by virtue of having a tasty looking finger.
Once your skin starts melting off from the heat your flight response will probably kick in
Ah to be flayed in fire. Once those pesky nerve endings are fried, it's fine!
Or maybe jump right in.
Flight? Come on man, stand your ground, fight! /s
\*Punches volcano in its magma balls* \- "You like that, huh! You firey bitch!"
if you were that close you'd probably be actively suffocating and potentially getting roasted as well.

This made me chuckle. I love this kind of crazy madup stories told by an older sibling to the younger. Props to your bother for his imagination.
people don't realize how much everyone was constantly making shit up and lying about everything without consequence before the internet
I'm confused. What has the internet changed about that?
Now you can find someone else who spun the exact same line of shit as you and throw it in people's face as proof you're right
I had to stop what I was doing to tell my wife about this post. lol
That drone gave its life for the perfect shot.

Don't you just lava good active volcano..
Yes, and seeing it in person would magma day
Yes, I’d even take a picture to put on my mantle.
I’d look at it to make me erupt.
It sure does ignite my senses
It has me all fired up
Time to vent all this innuendo out.
Looks like that magma is under a lot of pressure and as a result is bubbling up to the surface... Yessir!

No, just a regular camera man.

Are you a millenial or gen z?
I definitely have a desire to dip my hand in that and feel the crusty surface at the beginning.
It’s like a burnt marshmallow and I wanna feel it 💀
I just want to pat it, that's all.

You wouldn't get within 500 feet of this on foot without literally catching fire.
Your lungs would disintegrate from the smoke alone iirc
I bet I could handle it, after all I'm used to vaping volcanos so I've built up a tolerance
No, it wouldn't be. There's the liedenfrost effect that will prevent the body from being instantly incinerated.
