Volcanic eruption at the moment it happens

[CallMeWilliam]

Yeah volcanic eruptions are cool and all but being front and center at the exact moment is pretty crazy. Watch the land area and the sky around it...

I fn' love our little blue marble... Even tho it has the potential to kill us...

Loved the shock wave, it ain't nothing compared to what the Earth can do though. When Krakatoa exploded on August 1883 it was heard on the other side of the planet, and everyone lost their summer, currently Anuk Krakatoa (son of Krakatoa) is larger than when the 1883 volcano exploded. Some volcanos can have global reach, they are a sign of our living earth, but so very scary. We haven't had a major volcano erupt in modern times, the last was was in the dark ages hence the mythology surrounding those times.
