Would you ever go into an ACTIVE volcano?!!?âŒFor more wild adventures gone wrong, check out this one about a harrowing drive through the Sahara: czcams.com/video/bJJ03LZU8Vo/video.htmlsi=mrtf-Pp9v6wKIq2hâŒ
@adventuresgonewrong as a geology student who's in love with volcanoes, I would if I could
Hiking up multiple active volcano mountains In Indonesia.. Some of it exploded and kill hikers a few months after my summit.. Volcano mountains are challenging to hike due to porous sandy surface, steep and narrow path and to make it worse, it can explode in any times.
Amazing! Are you going into volcanology?
Yes! The people here talk about how difficult running away from the explosion was.
â@adventuresgonewrong it's all I dream about since I was 5-6 years old. đ„č My first written words were "volcano" and "caldera" ("mom' was a happy third, sorry mom đ )
But due to disability, it's not realistic at the moment. However, I'll be doing my masters thesis on Chilean volcanoes and hoping to do a PhD in magmatic petrology (the safer twin of volcanology, where we study rocks and processes to better understand magmatic systems and volcanoes.) There are fieldtrips for petrologist focusing on volcanoes, but not during the peak of activity... so less chances to end up on your channel hihi. Oh and speaking of that... Pyroclastic flows really are the stuff of nightmare. Not a good way to go. Even if you die quickly, it's still a terrifying prospect.
22:08 "God will help us?" Maybe God was assuming people would have the good sense to stay away.
I believe in God and pretty sure people should use their head to stay away from danger
God or not, we each have a brain that has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to just help keep you alive...one of the things a functional brain should depart to you is STAY OUT OF VOLCANOES... That would be conducive to a long and happy lifem
They died doing what they loved, but I canât help but wonder how much more they would have contributed to vulcanology had they not gone there.
I hate it when that is said. It was an awful way to die
Please do more like this; mixing adventure and science. It was fascinating! And also not a story I've heard before. Also I enjoyed the dog in the background. It's a calming sight while listening to a sad story
Hearing the scientists running and getting shoved to the ground by falling rocks, then their skulls getting hit? The descriptions were a lot more intense than I expected! Volcanoes are no joke
It is... The dust also causing first degree burn if get contact with skin.. Later similar incident happened in Indonesia this year at multiple volcano mountains.
You're right, they really are no joke. Climbing any mountain has an element of danger, even at the best of times. But volcanoes take it up a notch, even between eruptions. đą
And I left out the really graphic stuff. There are descriptions in the books that'll make your stomach flip.
No they arenât
@@adventuresgonewrong Which books???
A favourite channel. You inject so much depth and research into these presentations, really brilliantly delivered. I usually listen to them when falling asleep and have to replay across several nights to get the whole. But today, it's a peculiar forty Celsius in my garden in the UK (in Norfolk, really heating up here too, like Galeras!) so I am resting in the heat and saw this video land.
Geoff Brown looked thirty years beyond his age of 47; those trips clearly didn't do him much good!
So funny that you fall asleep while watching these vids...I do the same thing while watching all sorts of videos. đ
I read the book âNo Apparent Dangerâ many years ago. And recently another CZcamsr presented his interpretation of the events. Gotta tell ya, I was getting pretty riled up by that leader of the scientists. He is responsible for those deaths. And people put themselves in danger to rescue HIM. He shouldnât have ridiculed safety equipment just because ânobody else uses it.â Truly tragic.
That part was mind boggling, mocking someone for using a hard hat. Which ended up saving his life!
And what's worse, he's denied that responsibility. Wasn't about to enforce a dress code, what a stupid thing to say about such dangerous research!
â@@irena4545people are responsible for their own actions or inactions.
You enter a volcano without PPE or training that is on you! No one else.
Yep I read that too, I was wondering why the story was familiar til that was mentioned, good book.
Attitudes to health and safety were very different back then though, it wasnt drilled into people in the same way it is now. Still, laughing at someone else wearing a hardhat def gives off a bit of a Stockton Rush vibe.
I love Bill Brysonâs comment about a member of the expeditionâs book, which he called âan extraordinary uncritical bookâ; âVolcanologists may or may not be the worst scientists in the world at making predictions, but they are without question the worst in the world at realising how bad their predictions are.â (A short history of nearly everything)
In December 2019, the White Island volcano in New Zealand erupted and killed about 22 people on a tour to see the volcano. Nobody realized that volcano was going to erupt either. No thanks, no active volcanoes for me, especially not the strato-volcanoes! Too dangerous and unpredictable. Great story! Thanks for weaving all that interesting science information into your telling of the story as well as giving us some insight into the personalities involved. Hard to believe that the scientists did not take safety seriously in such a precarious situation as entering an active volcano.
We were at Masaya Volcano - and active volcano that you can walk up to the rim to see the lava boiling below. An American tourist wasn't impressed, apparently not understanding that the volcano could erupt at any time - although this is closely monitored. I did see a clip on one of those home video shows, how quickly this could occur. A tour group got off their bus when lava began to rain down. A few lava projectiles were the size of cars. People were getting under vehicles and running to escape being hurt. There were no deaths and only some minor injuries because of the precautions set up at the park. However, you are still entering at your own risk, and should prepare for the unexpected.
Followed for sometime now, i know these stories are sad but I found this, one of the most sad.. .. youvhave a great story telling ability... round a camp fire i am sure you would hold everyones attention â€
An excellent choice for an episode. So many warning signs were ignored and/or misinterpreted by the experts involved. I love seeing your dogs in the background, they are CZcams famous.
Thank you for your videos! I look forward to each and every upload. I love how you donât over sensationalize the events, and you focus on human stories as well as recommendations for future safety. Your videos are so well researched and produced that you have become my new favorite channel for this content!
Thank you so much!
For those who wanna know how bad it is to be on the mountains while the volcano exploded. You may search for volcano explosion in Indonesia / gunung berapi meletus di Indonesia. As a hikers, the chill flowing down my spine when knowing the mountains i just summit few months prior exploded.
I loved your sweeping arm gesture depicting â12-foot boulders and columns of gas way up in the skyâŠâ
Iâm stunned at how casually protective gear, masks and health and safety concerns were taken by some of the participants!
Years from now, someone else will say the same thing about today.
Even today there are people who mock others for using safety equipment. You should see the hate is showed when you say that helmets should be when when horse riding and that children should not be allowed on a horse entire one. My life was saved twice by my helmet. The last time was when a horse bolted and bucked me off. As I hit the ground the horse have me a parting kick in the head as she passed me!i could have died also when y head then hit the ground even if I hadnât received that kick
â@india1422 Some people have serious issues with masks, too.
Seatbelts were once a big issue here, but now they are fairly well accepted.
Reminds me of what happened on Whakaari a number of years ago. Both very sad stories. I do have a bit of a love of volcanoes, but this video reminded me of how unpredictable they are & I think I'll keep admiring active ones from afar
Full disclosure, if the dogs are in the background I usually have to watch twice, the first time I just stare at the puppers đâ€â€â€
Awesome pfp!
đâ€đ
Hahaha, I've totally gotta watch the puppers toođđđ
Me too.
Haha that's amazing!
Same. So cute â€
Thank you for another episode! Anxiously await the next one!
Volcanos should never be underestimated! As someone who has grown up near Mt. Rainier (or Mt. Tahoma as indigenous ppls call it), I have been instilled with a respect for the danger of our mountains from a young age. I was not alive for the Mt. st. Helens eruption, but my parents were and my mother hiked the mountain a year after its eruption. She didnât need sunscreen because she came back fully gray from ash haha
I was alive for that one. It blotted out the sun. In Michigan.
We had ash that fell like snow in Montana. Dark Skies. It was scary.
I was in Kelowna, BC at the time and same thing! Wild how far it went.
I couldn't figure out why my life stopped making sense and then i realized my algorithm was altered and i hadn't seen one of your videos in a while. Now I'm motivated to face life once again and my children have their mother back.
Just a small correction about the ring of fire; it doesn't end in the Philippines but extends for thousands of kilometers to include all of Indonesia, where two of the largest eruptions known are located and currently has between 80 to 130 active volcanoes according to different sources and has suffered the largest number of casualties and loss of property and arable land due to volcanic eruptions.
They were excited gung ho and reckless. That little family group being killed was very sad. The scientists were learning from mistakes it seems. Rip
Thank you for this video! Just saw it pop up and it's already made my evening â€
Perfect timing!
â@@adventuresgonewrongoh absolutely ! Listening to your videos as podcast is sometimes the only reasons I have clean dishes or a dinner at night. Nothing better to make any chore exciting when they become an excuse to listen to AGWđ Thanks a lot for that â€
Yeah ! Thanks for the new video ! I've always found the topic of relationship between volcanos and people super interesting ! I hope you'll cover more !
(also the dog was super aorable as always
This reminds me of the episode of I Shouldnât Be Alive where three filmmakers crashed their helicopter into an actively-erupting mouth of Kilauea, but somehow survived, clung to the walls for like two days or some
Hello. I'm new here and I think I'll stay.
Welcome!
âźïžđ
Woohoo, welcome!
Love all the footage of Bromo, I hiked around the edge, it was fantastic. â€
Oooo I know this story!!! Great telling. Lots of info I've not heard before and your style really puts you in the moment.
Huge support from Australia â€â€â€â€
Thanks so much, it's such an interesting one.
This channel is so interesting!! Just found you through Seanâs interview with you. đ
Welcome!
I was blown away the first time I heard this story, it was on a comedy podcast oddly enough, but still managed to tell the story with respect and humor. The details are like something straight out of Dante's Inferno.
Love the stories you share! Also love watching your dog in the background. đâ€
Love this episode! All the background info made it intensely interesting.
Always a great presentation. So much info.
Another excellent video your delivery keeps getting better and better! Great job!
Thanks!
Another great video!
I really love your channel, your presentation style, and your sweet pups in the background. Would love to see you do something about the White Island 2019 volcano eruption in New Zealand. Twenty-two people were killed, and many others were injured. Thanks for all you do with this channel.
I had friends who were on a boat, not far away when that one went off!! They have video of some of it. :( so sad
Yeah the White Island eruption was crazy, tourists right near it when it blew. I may do a few volcano ones in the future!
The hubris and arrogance of Stanley Williams is manifested right off his book sub title one man's efforts to "tame" a volcano. As if volcanoes are some feral animals đ
Again no notifications đ đ And there was me awaiting the pt II to the Everest. I always love your documentaries as you know. Big fan. Well glad I found that you have filled in the gaps. Just my YT playing upas always.
Oh no! Dang CZcams, glad you checked in!
I love your intro. Subscribed so fast đââïž đš
Love your profile pic!! đ
Great video, thanks đ
I gotta say, I learn a lot from your videos. The research and details are amazing.
No! I would never go into a volcano.
Thanks! I love learning new things too! And I hear ya on going into a volcano. đ
@@adventuresgonewrong đ€Ł
Wow, nine people gone. Thatâs sad.
That was an unbelievable story you narrated! I discovered your channel after seeing you as a guest on a live chat about two hours ago. Coincidentally, the first video I watched from your channel featured a Filipino in the story-Iâm Filipino too, living in the US. My husband and I love watching stories like those on the Discovery Channel, so weâll definitely be watching more of your videos! Thanks again for all the tips you shared on the live chat. What inspired me most was when you said, âit is reachableâ.âđâ€ïžđ
Thanks for watching the live! It was so fun to be a part of and I'm glad to hear it inspired you! It's definitely reachable!
@@adventuresgonewrong â€ïžđ
I just found your channel! Subscribed love your style great story teller!
Thanks so much and welcome aboard!
You are in for a treat! I'm close to having watched all of her videos, and they are soooo good. Can't get enough of them. The subject is treated with respect, well-researched and delivered in such a compelling way!
love the doggo in the background †please continue with the good work!
Thank you! Will do!
Just found your channel! Thank you for adding extra research around types of volcanos! You approach the stories with respect and caution. Not to listen to the rest of your library!
Welcome!!!
YippeeâŠSaturday is no-matter-day, plus a new video of my fav outdoor channel. Thx so much and have a great weekend. Remembering the smell of the Vesuvius makes me answering: no way going inside an active volcano đ„Žđ«¶đŸ
Thanks! Heading out kayaking on this beautiful day!
It must have been terrifying for everyone.
Sweet background puppers.
Ps: if you feel like doing another episode on volcano adventures gone wrong, I recommend having a look at the story of Maurice and Katia Krafft. These two were absolute legends đ
Yes! Their story is amazing
ââ@@adventuresgonewrongI'm so glad you think so! (And sorry for the misspelling, I write too fast when excited haha đ ).
Wooo hooo! Great seeing you and your work again!
My plan, when my time has come, and if I have the choice, I will try to swan dive into a lava flow! I am near Rainier, Mt St Helens, Mt Baker, and your wonderful occasional earthquake!
But it's a mild heat. đ
Thank you from Seattle â€
Hello neighbor!
Oregonian here!
Ape caves are on my bucket list and hope to finally do that this summer, unless mt st Helen's decides to erupt again! đ«Ł
Missed you!! Yayđ
Iâm Colombian and had never heard of this story before, thank you so much for posting it!!
It's fascinating, glad I could share it with you!
Reminds me of the White Island disaster that was one bad decision after another. And also the helicopter that crashed into a volcano in Hawaii while filming footage for Hollywood. Survived and a good story.
Oh right I forgot about that one during the filming of that movie.
This is a horror story. I feel so bad for the scientists. They were so excited.
Did not plan to watch something like this right now, but who can say no when you update haha
The book No Apparent Danger is a great read if anyone wants to find out more about the two Colombian eruptions.
Hi ma'am new subs here. I was one of the participants on YT 1k challenge of Sir Sean Cannel.
I hate it when I get covered with lava like that - it takes forever to get dug out..
And what? "once you get started in volcanoes you become a junkie"....OK, just don't forget the Narcan...
Volcanoes and 8000 mountains are the different sides of the same coin.
Thank you for taking the time to explain each of these scientists contributions to science, i feel like the significant experience the volcanologists have gets kinda brushed over, when honestly, i think that level of experience often leads inadvertently to tragedy. When someone is exposed to that level of danger on a regular basis, its easy to develop blindspots,
I kinda compare this to safety within construction/work sites. A person gets good at swinging the hammer, and thinks that reduces their risk, so they stop wearing safety glasses. Then theres a fault in the nail or the wood and BOOM!
People are awful at understanding their actual risk unfortunately
The thing is these scientists know, better than most laymen, that they're taking a calculated risk. They are well aware of the unpredictability of a volcano - in fact, that's one of the reasons they get so close. They're hoping to learn better how to predict their behavior. Unfortunately, sometimes their calculated risk becomes a tragedy.
Wow, mother nature is fierce! It's sad that such scientific knowledge has such a high cost
What an amazing story!
Is the denial of danger a form of group think?
â€omg youtube, why???? why??? i was gona have an early night and now i MUST watch this..... cant wait. đ
đ đ đ
Oh, the irony!
I'm colombian. My mom was a teen when el nevado del ruiz erupted. She doesn't like to talk about it much because my grandma's friend was one of the people who died in the mudslides in Armero. Respect for all vulcanologists,
That's so sad, so many people died in that town.
Doggo!!!!!
Hi. Wasnât sure where to post my suggestion; however! Lauren Elderâs book (also a 1978 movie) âAnd I Alone Survived.â Think you would like it.
Thanks! I'll add it to my list!
Dog just chilling.
Until they're not and ready for a walkđ
Experts.. " no its fine it wont blow for ages. What we need to do is protect the tourist from danger".
Could it have been avoided? Well ... yes ... don't climb into a volcano.
What are the odds of this happening !!???
â€
"We thought we understood"
Nature...not.
Your dogs need some doggy quaaludes. They are way too hyper.đ
Iâm an American living just over 50 miles now from this monster and from my building Iâve taken the most amazing and awe inspiring photos of this mountain and the Andes at sunset. This area truly brings you to your knees with the immensity of these mountains. The rockies are mounds compared to the Andes and thatâs no exaggeration. You have to see this for yourself to know what Iâm saying. No hills around here for sure as most average 15k feet and more. Come down sometime and visit, trust me nothingâs going to happen to you (unlike most places in the USA where your life is in danger at every corner - Chicago for example)
Even though I've never seen them in person, the Andes are very impressive! Would love to see them one day.
Lucero, outrun the moon. Does anybody hear it?
Which only shows smart ppl donât always act smart.
đđđ§Ą
How do you get better looking every video?? Is that the midnight sun on your face?
Haha yep it's summer and we're no longer pasty in the north!đ
Thereâs only one cure for stupid, and they found it.
Can people please start taking Volcanoes more seriously cause holy wow there were so many signs. Just like that one I think in the 2010s near new zealand(I think.) Signs were ignored.
I know right, I'm never going near one as a tourist!
Nope not playing with volcanos. đ Just saying đ„°
Your scariest adventure yet. Shudder.
Scientists went like moths to a flame
Another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
