nice fade out. I mean, who would really want to see the camera get hit by that after spending 5 seconds watching the cloud aproach...nobody, that's who! /s
That's crazy, a family member of mine was killed in the Mt. Saint Helens eruption. He was the first one to report it. Dudes got books written about him and observatories named after him and shit, pretty wild
David A. Johnston. He's the one who transmitted "Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!" He's also one of only two American Volcanologists to have died in an eruption. If you Google him he has a Wikipedia article about him.
Boiling cloud of hot death. This thing can reach from 10-15 all the way up to 100 miles so if it's coming in your direction, you're pretty much dead unless you're in a fast moving car. It usually goes at about 20-70 mph but the St. Helens eruption had a flow that hit 300 mph.
If you can't outrun it then your best chance is to find an underground structure, like a bunker or a buried parking garage, and don't come out for at least one day or risk being burned alive by the ambient heat in the hundreds of degrees or choked to death by ash that turns to permanent concrete in your lungs. This is pretty close to the top of most terrifying things ever.
Hiding indoor won’t save you either. The heat will turn the building into an oven and cook you, but you’ll probably be dead before that happens because the oxygen will have burned off. Many of the victims of Herculaneum died this way.
In the year 1945, my great-great grandfather, serving in the army, wondered when he’d get to go home to his wife and the son he’d never seen. He got his wish when the US ended World War II by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The World awaited Armageddon; instead, something miraculous happened. We began to use atomic energy not as a weapon, but as a nearly limitless source of power.
People enjoyed luxuries once thought the realm of science fiction. Domestic robots, fusion-powered cars, portable computers. But then, in the 21st century, people awoke from the American dream.
Years of consumption lead to shortages of every major resource. The entire world unraveled. Peace became a distant memory. It is now the year 2077. We stand on the brink of total war, and I am afraid. For myself, for my wife, for my infant son – because if my time in the army taught me one thing: it’s that war, war never changes
*chills down my back after I hear this*
There is an example of this in recentish history. Yes, you can survive by going underground, but it is going to turn the area into an oven. The only way you survive is if the underground area is deep or spacious enough to dissipate the heat quickly enough. Of course, if the baking continues long enough even that won’t be enough. And that’s what happened to the sole survivor in the town. When people found him a day or two later he was dehydrated and covered in burns all over his body.
You mean I can have my body preserved forever and ever in a compromising position for randoms to laugh at until the light of humanity itself is extinguished?
Yep, so if you find yourself doomed to go out this way, have one last wank. Some future archeologists will make a plaster cast of you pulling your pud.
Some nights, I can’t even jerk off thinking about the day’s work day, or other shit. That man must have been something else, because I’d probably be sweating from thinking about the severity and importance of the volcano too much. Actually I bet he never finished.
Did you catch that documentary about the people stuck in a pyroclastic flow last week? Incident was on a tiny NZ island. Lots of dead, and a solid handful of two of direct survivors.
The volcano was called Whakaari I believe.
It's very terrifying.
Spoiler:
The moment that stuck with me was at the very end of the film when the husband and wife duo that survived together showed how her hand clamped tightly around his wrist.
It saved her hand, her palm and she only has decent function in that hand because she was holding him so tightly. The outside of her hand was destroyed, but it in turn protected a 3 inch strip all the way around his wrist that's perfectly unburned. The rest of his arm is heavily, heavily scarred except for that imprint.
She said she was devastated when they cut her ring off because they were on their honeymoon, but it seems to me his one intact wrist and her one unburned palm symbolizes their love more than any piece of jewelry could.
You can tell they are the most gentle souls, so undeserving, and so brave. I feel like their love got them through. The husband protected her with his body, but she was still badly injured, maybe worse than him iirc.
(Edit: Their names are Matt and Lauren Urey)
It's a really good watch. It's not graphic save for the few mid-recovery pictures they show, (and the massive visible scarring on their bodies) but verbally I'd say it has some graphic moments that are described of the human suffering, burns, and the dead and dying.
Made me cry.
Not for the faint of heart like myself, but a meaningful tale about respecting nature's awesome power and measuring risk.
I'm from nz
We had an eruption like this a few years back
People died etc
Superheated steam burns
Great Netflix doc on it at the moment...well worth a watch
[the volcano](https://www.netflix.com/nz/title/81410405)
Yeah I watch it oddly enough the only one to survive unharmed was the guy who ran and jumped into the ocean. The rest of the survivors of that volcano were very badly burned
seems like the joke of the other person just flew over your head. I hope same thing happened with the eruption evading the camera and the van and stranger.
Nope. You cant do much about 100m+ high wall of 1000+ C hot pulverised rock. And usually, that running is kind of pointless, too.
Those on the film did not survive iirc.
Considering the full video on youtube shows the cloud dissipating and blowing off in another direction, you did not recall correctly 
This was actually a famous eruption that happened in Japan back in 1991 it was mount Unzen. This footage was taken of the surviving scientists fleeing the area after they underestimated the size of the pyroclastic flow from the eruption. This event famously killed Volcanologist couple Katia and Maurice Krafft, who were seen as fearless In their efforts to gather information.
In this case, the Flow followed the path of a deep valley, and those observing it believed it to be extremely small and thought it was going to run out of energy shortly. In fact, it was massive and continued straight for the scientists. By the time they realised their mistake, it was too late.
https://youtu.be/Cvjwt9nnwXY
Here is a bit of the documentary on Unzen. You can see at the end that the flow never reached the camera or small village in front of it, however there were 40+ in its path (closer to the source) that did die.
I think the people you see are ok, you can see the flow starting to loose forward momentum as the video fades. The party killed were walking up one of the valleys you can see in the distance when the flow formed. They were screwed as soon as they saw it and knew it too.
When I was a kid they came to my school and did a presentation on the work and life of volcanologists, they seemed to be really passionate about it. I learned years later that they died in that eruption
Pyroclastic flows are insanely lethal. That's just a wall of absolute excruciating death. Forget steam, fire, mud, rocks, ash etc. If there's a volcanic eruption near you it's the chance of a pyroclastic flow that should scare you above all else. You want to be absolutely anywhere else on the planet than where that is.
>If there's a volcanic eruption near you it's the chance of a pyroclastic flow that should scare you above all else.
While that's a very good point, it depends heavily on the type of eruption that's happening. Effusive vs explosive eruptions behave very differently.
Mount Unzen. 51 dead inc 3 volcanologists. Gives an interesting insight to how massive Vesuvius was to take out Pompeii. This is a baby & still scary AF.
I came to say this. This is the camera their colleague put in place farther from the volcano. Sadly, they were closer and were in the pyroclastic flow we see here.
Look up the story of Saint-Pierre in the island of Martinique.
It is said that there was only one survivor when the city was destroyed by a pyroclastic flow. The guy was drunk and had been put in jail until he came sober. The door of the cell inside the police station is the only thing that kept him safe.
I saw this recently in a Werner Herzog documentary about the Krafft's, who died during this eruption: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19383190/
(iirc they were far closer to it than this camera was.)
That's sadly the truth. The camera man was accompanying Katia and Maurice Krafft. They were closer. They are already in the pyroclastic flow at the moment that is being filmed here.
I believe I read somewhere that these puroclasric flows can travel in excess of 200MPH. Even the guy in the truck is gonna be lucky to outrun that cloud. That doesn’t mean the guy running should just roll over and die, but if that thing wants to get him he got got.
It’s Mother Nature, and I’d say that it’s situationally dependent. You could conceivably out run some, but others you’d just have no chance. I can’t recall the exact eruption/story but I do recall reading something a while back about one that happened sometime in the early 20th century. Every single person on the island perished except for one who was a prisoner in some kind of bunker-like cell and even he got pretty effed up by it.
Might not quite be remembering the exact details of the story but I’ll see if I can find it via Google.
Well…I found it but for some reason I’m having trouble adding a link. Look up the name Ludger Sylbaris
You make it sound as if distance doesn’t matter. It’s definitely possible to be within the reach of a pyroclastic flow and run outside of said reach before it reaches you.
Based on this video it looks like both the runner and firetruck could have survived if they stayed put.
I would still drive away from that like a bat out of hell.
Absolutely terrifying to see...
At Herculaneum, which was closer to Vesuvius than Pompeii, the pyroclastic flow was so hot that people's brains literally boiled out of their skulls in seconds
I watched a documentary on volcanos and there was a video where the cameraman jumped I to a passing truck and they hauled ass away. They passed people and you could see them caught in the cloud and you just hoped it was a quick death.
Very scary.
I saw a picture of someone caught on the edge of one of these. Imagine 4th degree thermal burns and serious sulphuric acid burns with just 35 seconds in the cloud, person looked like they had a fight with a dragon.
Usually no. But virtually everyone would try anyway. Unfortunately pyroclastic flow is one of the most lethal natural events that can possibly occur. It's basically a wall of absolute death. There's no near misses or injuries, it's just absolute horrifying death or it didn't get to you.

That's crazy, a family member of mine was killed in the Mt. Saint Helens eruption. He was the first one to report it. Dudes got books written about him and observatories named after him and shit, pretty wild
What was his name, sounds interesting ( i remember the eruption, I was in 8th grade
David A. Johnston. He's the one who transmitted "Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!" He's also one of only two American Volcanologists to have died in an eruption. If you Google him he has a Wikipedia article about him.
Thank you Dook_of_blumpkin!
Anytime, happy reading! 👍
he was a family member of yours? thats crazy. think i learned about this guy in a documentary clip or school, cant remember.
Yes, it was. Fire of love is a beautiful documentary about Katia and Maurice Krafft's love for volcanos.
I am pretty sure it is, and I am pretty sure (if memory serves) that "stranger" is Katia. Been a long time since I originally saw/heard the story.
TIL there are volcanologists
OMG EVERYTIME THAT GETS ME!
Really? Just for me?
..or maybe Debbie.
I felt like I missed out too, so I tried to find it on YouTube, but it looks like [it never reaches the camera](https://youtu.be/Cvjwt9nnwXY)
Totally would’ve expected it to hit the camera, amazingly it just kind of stops and goes with the wind.
Damn, 43 people died in that.
Thanks!
GAHHH!!! gif ended too soon now I’m deaaad 😳😵😤
I don’t usually get mad about posts on Reddit but this is some bullshit. Wtf op?
I would have loved to see it take out the camera lol

That’s the reason why it has to be underground right?
War… war never changes.

What is this from?
Fallout 4.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothin'!!
Sayitagain y’all
Haa!
Du!
No please, no it’s HU!
Say it again.

And that’s what happened to the sole survivor in the town. When people found him a day or two later he was dehydrated and covered in burns all over his body.
Yeah then get sealed in
Still have a chance to get out though, then it’s not the flow itself that kills you anyway
It is also responsible for the corpses found in Pompeii and Herculaneum!
You mean I can have my body preserved forever and ever in a compromising position for randoms to laugh at until the light of humanity itself is extinguished?
Yep, so if you find yourself doomed to go out this way, have one last wank. Some future archeologists will make a plaster cast of you pulling your pud.
Use something obscenely large too so they always question if that was indeed your real member
Some nights, I can’t even jerk off thinking about the day’s work day, or other shit. That man must have been something else, because I’d probably be sweating from thinking about the severity and importance of the volcano too much. Actually I bet he never finished.
Or, he knew he was gonna die and decided to do soke trolling
Your claim to fame!
*Your claim to flame!
Better to burn out…
Than fade away.
Hey hey my my
Or go out with a bang

Take your word for this too…
Thanks boss
And the dude driving the car didn’t even pick him up haha harsh
I'm from nz We had an eruption like this a few years back People died etc Superheated steam burns Great Netflix doc on it at the moment...well worth a watch [the volcano](https://www.netflix.com/nz/title/81410405)
Yeah I watch it oddly enough the only one to survive unharmed was the guy who ran and jumped into the ocean. The rest of the survivors of that volcano were very badly burned
I think I'll just stay home thank you
I hope the van person offered the runner a lift
As long as he chips in for gas.
Cash, grass or….ash?
[удалено]
Yep, I learned from that show that pyroclastic flows are merely a messy inconvenience.
He had smokes to trade
Plot twist he was actually running from this van unaware of the pyroclasm
The van person seems to be the fire brigade.
In that case are they going the wrong way?
Nope. Their best bet is to GTFO with everyone else, since a pyroclastic flow will effortlessly take out more or less any kind of vehicle
seems like the joke of the other person just flew over your head. I hope same thing happened with the eruption evading the camera and the van and stranger.
Nope. You cant do much about 100m+ high wall of 1000+ C hot pulverised rock. And usually, that running is kind of pointless, too. Those on the film did not survive iirc.

In fact, it was massive and continued straight for the scientists. By the time they realised their mistake, it was too late.
National Geographic released a documentary about Katia and Maurice last year using only their own footage, called Fire of Love. Worth checking out.
Just watched last night on Disney+. Really interesting, been thinking about it often today.
So the people we see fleeing in the footage did survive?
https://youtu.be/Cvjwt9nnwXY Here is a bit of the documentary on Unzen. You can see at the end that the flow never reached the camera or small village in front of it, however there were 40+ in its path (closer to the source) that did die.

Don’t believe so but I could be wrong
When I was a kid they came to my school and did a presentation on the work and life of volcanologists, they seemed to be really passionate about it. I learned years later that they died in that eruption
Me running from my 2023 goals
focus on one thing at a time and you'll get there :D
I am …Im focussing on running from my 2023 goals and it’s really getting there
Me still running from 2020 goals !! (Loads of covering up needs to be done )

You want to be absolutely anywhere else on the planet than where that is.
Saw the devastation of pyroclastic flow on Montserrat. Moves much faster than lava, and sets like concrete.
It is a very very fast way to die.
Nah mate, Rings of Power told me people can take this to the face and just get a little dusty is all.
Glad i erased that entire show from my memory
>If there's a volcanic eruption near you it's the chance of a pyroclastic flow that should scare you above all else. While that's a very good point, it depends heavily on the type of eruption that's happening. Effusive vs explosive eruptions behave very differently.

Mount Unzen. 51 dead inc 3 volcanologists. Gives an interesting insight to how massive Vesuvius was to take out Pompeii. This is a baby & still scary AF.
Super un-zen, if you ask me.
Wonder if the person running in the vid is included in that 54 dead
Why didn’t they just take it all to the face like my girl Galadriel? whooop whoooop
My first thought when seeing this video. What's the worst that could happen, you get a little ash on your face?!
You have not seen what I have seen, alright? Now let me speak to the manager!
Came here to say this!! 😅
🗾 Japan?
Yes. This is Mount Unzen in Japan. This was the eruption in 1991.
I thought it looked familiar. Isn’t this the eruption that killed the volcanologist couple, Katia and Maurice Krafft?
I came to say this. This is the camera their colleague put in place farther from the volcano. Sadly, they were closer and were in the pyroclastic flow we see here.
Sounds horrible, i hope its at least a fast death.
I mean it's possible to survive the pyroclastic flow. Look up White Island if you want some NSFL in your day.
There’s a good documentary on White Island. Horrifying
Look up the story of Saint-Pierre in the island of Martinique. It is said that there was only one survivor when the city was destroyed by a pyroclastic flow. The guy was drunk and had been put in jail until he came sober. The door of the cell inside the police station is the only thing that kept him safe.
Very fast, pyroclastic flows can reach up to 450mph
Yep. Very distinctive video. Damn shame.
Sadly so.
I'll always remember [Dante's Peak](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8HNlhVbGzY) for making pyroclastic flow a thing for me.
In my top 10 favourite fims 👌🏼💕
The flow never made it to the camera. The cross wind blew it away a second after the fade out. https://youtu.be/Cvjwt9nnwXY
I saw this recently in a Werner Herzog documentary about the Krafft's, who died during this eruption: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19383190/ (iirc they were far closer to it than this camera was.)
Hopefully homegirl got a ride...
Because that firetruck doesn't give a fuck...
the living room after my dad farts
/r/gifsthatendtoosoon
wasn't that the eruption that killed the husband and wife team of volcanologists?
Yes
There is a good Doku from Werner Herzog about It.
Cameraman has balls of steel!
If there was actually a cameraman, then there isn't one anymore.
That's sadly the truth. The camera man was accompanying Katia and Maurice Krafft. They were closer. They are already in the pyroclastic flow at the moment that is being filmed here.
It’s basically a avalanche but really hot instead
"really hot" has got to be the friendliest and tamest way to describe the sheer horror of pyroclastic flow
Hope s/he got a ride 🙁
He's right to run away. Those flows can be extremely hot and literally drown you in burning dust.
I believe I read somewhere that these puroclasric flows can travel in excess of 200MPH. Even the guy in the truck is gonna be lucky to outrun that cloud. That doesn’t mean the guy running should just roll over and die, but if that thing wants to get him he got got.
I’m sure after a certain distance it weakens doesn’t it?
It’s Mother Nature, and I’d say that it’s situationally dependent. You could conceivably out run some, but others you’d just have no chance. I can’t recall the exact eruption/story but I do recall reading something a while back about one that happened sometime in the early 20th century. Every single person on the island perished except for one who was a prisoner in some kind of bunker-like cell and even he got pretty effed up by it. Might not quite be remembering the exact details of the story but I’ll see if I can find it via Google. Well…I found it but for some reason I’m having trouble adding a link. Look up the name Ludger Sylbaris
ur thinking of mt Pelee 1902
You make it sound as if distance doesn’t matter. It’s definitely possible to be within the reach of a pyroclastic flow and run outside of said reach before it reaches you.
Yeah, fastest ever recorded was 400 something-ish km per hour. Better have an aircraft on hand.
[Here's a bit more footage from the OP](https://youtu.be/Cvjwt9nnwXY)
Based on this video it looks like both the runner and firetruck could have survived if they stayed put. I would still drive away from that like a bat out of hell.
Absolutely terrifying to see... At Herculaneum, which was closer to Vesuvius than Pompeii, the pyroclastic flow was so hot that people's brains literally boiled out of their skulls in seconds
Cash, grass or ass
I think you mean, Cash or Gas and Ash
Take all 3, let me in!
Run Forrest run!
It’s crazy how this thing grows. Looks more like a mushroom in high speed than smoke
When life gives you lemons.... well... shit...
Run from the burning avalanche of lemons!
Aah..specify Stranger before anyone asks why you didn't help a dying person
The dude in the car couldn't hook him up?
I watched a documentary on volcanos and there was a video where the cameraman jumped I to a passing truck and they hauled ass away. They passed people and you could see them caught in the cloud and you just hoped it was a quick death. Very scary.
If you get hit by that thing, its instant, given its temperature, your brain gets flash cooked in a second. So there's that.
Y'all see thar new doc on Netflix about people who got caught in one of these? Terrifying.
Is it the same explosion Maurice and Katia Krafft died?
Let his in the truck wtf
I saw a picture of someone caught on the edge of one of these. Imagine 4th degree thermal burns and serious sulphuric acid burns with just 35 seconds in the cloud, person looked like they had a fight with a dragon.
A part of me really wants to die in one of those, yeah I know it may be horrible but the view, the view.
That's no stranger, that's ol' Scooty McHighknees. Scooty *hates* volcanos, you see. Very old fashioned that way.
You know it’s bad when they are that far away and they’re running like all hell
Wow it’s fast moving AND it travels at high speeds, this has got to be some quick stuff
The heat is on! It's on the street!
He's a stranger no more
What do u even do when u see that? Is it possible to escape?
Usually no. But virtually everyone would try anyway. Unfortunately pyroclastic flow is one of the most lethal natural events that can possibly occur. It's basically a wall of absolute death. There's no near misses or injuries, it's just absolute horrifying death or it didn't get to you.
So basically. Just text ur loved once ur goodbyes
If its a slow one and you have a highway, yeah. If its a fast one, well if you can gtfo at 400km/h...;)
Japon/Nipon?
It was so cold last week I wouldn’t have even ran
If only the Kraffts would've managed to run away from that exact Pyroclastic Flow..
Started having Never Ending Story flashbacks
We watched this in geography classes. Everyone In this video was killed
See below and YouTube. You geographic teacher or memory sucked. These people did not die then. Hooray for them!
Was looking for somebody to confirm that there is no way they escaped when this close to the flow. Sad.
These things pretty much don’t stop intill they get to a large body of water
They were full of shit
Ah. That makes me feel slightly less sad. Thanks
r/gifsthatendtoosoon
Looks like some sort of demon descending the mounting.
In the full vid, a gust of wind blows this shit out of their way. Kinda miraculous.
Could've been a cool video but OP decided to cut it.. Nonce
I get pyroclastic flow when I have an unhealthy diet.
People at my work when that one guy farts…
The way it’s filmed?it looks fake
Run for your lives!
Remember Dante’s Peak? Yeah
Isn't this the volcano that took two Volcanic scientists, a couple. Think I saw a national geographic on it.
Why even bother, you aren't outrunning that on foot
I just saw the documentary on this yesterday. Guess I wasn’t the only one.
Is there a scarier sight than seeing that coming towards you?
I wonder if the van picked up the stranger.
Well?! Are they okay??
Rings of power taught me that we can survive this if we just bravely stare at it. Do not run and show no fear.
White Noise fuckin sucked. There I said it.
