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!
Good grief! Must've been a sight and a half.
My mother was a junior in Tacoma at the time as well! I don’t suppose you went to Foss?
Was there a sound?
@@Tehownilator
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.
Human: Look, exploding mountain. I want to live there. I build house there.
The Krakatoa photographer blew my mind. At first I questioned the positioning/framing, I was quickly stunned by how they took into account the wind speed. Perfection in so many ways.
The Krakatoa footage is some of the most picturesque footage from an eruption I have ever seen. Beautiful but powerfully destructive; nature at its finest.
Fake -- it's all CGI.
Just kidding =)
Impressive.
Most impressive.
Anak Krakatoa (Krakatoa's child)
@@dedurocortorum365 son
@@Iamnotradit Yes, its son
The shockwave in the clouds at 6:18 to 6:26 is awesome.
I like the dirt chucks flying out in slow mo
so cool watching the rocks fly into the water
@@scubascrubs I'm always impressed how movement scales witht size. I mean a large explosion can never be as fast as a small one relative to it's size. If a huge asteroid impacts earth the initial explosion might take several minutes up to hours whilst a small explosions take a few seconds
@@rgerber
Its less about size and more about distance. The farther away an object is, the slower it will appear to move, like looking up at jet airplanes that are traveling at 400-500mph but dont look to be moving very fast at all. It is very weird and fascinating.
Imagine being one of the first to see a volcano explode and having no idea what's going on, that must have been absolutely terrifying.
Pompei ;)
Thats where the gods came from.
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.
@@davidlong3219 he had the foresight to secure the photos and stuff that he took, so that when they found his body at least we got some cool photos out of it
Basically, Pompeii 🥲
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.
Wow these Volcanoes are really cool to look at on screen but IRL it's not cool at all
I feel a similar way about the godzilla movies!
I have actually climbed Mt. Stromboli, Vesuvius and Mt. Etna in Italy. My heritage from my dad’s side comes from Sardinia. So, when I visit Italy it’s easy to just go climb away. Others I have visited are Mt. Fuji and Sakurajima in Japan, Pinatubo in the Philippine, Mt. Saint Helens, Redoubt, Mt. Kilauea, Hawai’i volcanoes national park in USA, White Island in New Zealand, Eyjafjallajokull and Thingvellir in Iceland, Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania Africa and Mt. Krakatoa in Indonesia and Mt. Teide in the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa to name a few. Sometimes I wished that I would have study
Nah its too hot irl
@@lebronjames5601 lies
Some might say there hot lol
@4:03 "You can't tell your mom this happened." Mom turns on TV *click*
One of my favorite videos yet...good work. Still rest in peace to those who lost their lives.
Thank you!! Means a lot:)
You're not wrong all the volcanoes are really interesting to me they make shocked
Highly recommend watching the documentary about the Whakaari eruption (White Island). Absolutely heartbreaking, but eye opening on how dangerous they can be even without all the lava 😓
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.
I highly agree, it was so well done I've watched it a few times and its something that puts you in awe but also showing the degree of a situation like this.
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.
The amount of power volcanoes have is incredible.
Even more than that! :))
Just think the actually powerful ones havnt gone off for hundreds of thousands of years and are many times bigger
They're basically the reason any land mass exists, it's crazy.
It is hard to believe this list did not include the eruption of Volcan De Fuego in Guatemala in 2018. The footage of the pyroclastic flow and the people fleeing as you can see the flow cross the road just behind them is terrifying.
I know I'm a little late here, but he has included Vulcan de Fuego in several of his videos prior. You should check them out. They're beautiful.
It's not in the US is it?
Interestingly, the Hunga Tonga eruption in 2022 created a sound so loud that I heard it in New Zealand, over 2.5 thousand kilometers away.
Yep, I was at the beach on the east coast and heard the booms, wondered what it was
I didn't hear it, but my sister was down on the beach a few hours after the eruption and the waves were unusually high
6:21 if you look closely, you can see part of the landscape actually blow up like a bubble just before it erupts!
Whoa!! That's cool thank you!
That is pretty cool actually, good catch thanks. Also cool is how long it takes to hear the sound of it popping.
Haha, oops I commented before they explained it took 13 seconds to hear it.
I remember that day-May 18, 1980. I remember watching the live video of the reporter that was caught in the blast as he tried to get out. Terrifying.
I was a junior in high school when I was at home with my mom watching the news breaking. My mom's name was HELEN, and to me, she was a saint ! Unfortunately, my family lost our St. Helen just two months ago ! 😇😢😰😭
@@johnlukasik8045 I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother 22 years ago and it still gets me sometimes when I think that she is not here. But I know I will see her again in the New World.
@@kwiknkleen I believe the same, and Thank You ! 🥰🥰🥰
I stood in my yard in Portland and watched it. My parents had us cleaning ash off the roof and gutters for two weeks.
@Eperogi Limousine There were multiple eruptions. #2 and 3 dumped on Portland.
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
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
He has included Mount Etna in several of his videos prior. You should check them out.
tourism + really active volcano = tradgedy
Wow that first eruption was amazing, i always imagined those explosive eruptions being more gradual and subtle, not a MOAB type shockwave like that, wow.
Pyroclastic flows can travel at hundreds of miles an hour, explosive eruptions on stratovolcanoes are much more like a nuclear blast than the slow moving lava flows of the Hawaiian volcanoes.
Yea and the fact he called the audio "dodgy" cracked me up. The volume of a such an explosion is outside what is survivable by a human, and the sound is out of our hearing spectrum. The microphone did a good job that day.
Sakurajima is across the bay from Kagoshima City and a friend who lives in Kagoshima City has told me that on a daily basis, they are cleaning ash from their sidewalks, porches, etc. Similar to what many in snow regions would do during winter.
As a New Zealander you cant help but be in awe of the power of White Island, but as so many lost their lives that day it hurt us as a nation. There is always risks visiting an active volcano but I think this was bigger and more sudden then we thought it would be.
I'm from Auckland. I remembered how shocked New Zealanders were when they heard the news. The whole town of Whakatane is mourning (Whakatane is the “Gateway to White Island".
Still the vulcanologists had warned about the unrest of the volcano some weeks before the eruption. One lucky thing is that it wasn't magmatic but phreotic "steam explosion".
@@mikkolaine4883 If I recall the issue was the cruiseline not fully passing on the elevated risk from volcanologists, rather, the generic "this volcano is considered active" risk as usual
I’m from Matamata. I remember feeling totally shocked as things unfolded. It was a horrible disaster for our whole country
Pa
6:32 "When do we get the boom?", immediately the boom follows lol
It's amazing how long the delay was though, 13 seconds is a lot of time. With sound traveling 1 km every 3 seconds, they must have been over 4 kms away.
You have to be in awe of the power of nature, great video.
Part of info for #2, Kuchinoerabujima, in Japan showed a seismic event May 18, 1980. It may have been Mt St Helens blowing her top/side. I was a couple hundred miles downstream and heard the sonic boom that morning. Amazing event. Sky slowly darkened to black and several hours later the ash started falling. About 4" where I was.
Maybe in a few hundred years they'll find Harry Truman and his cat.
Congratulations for pronouncing the name Eyjafjallajökull correctly. The volcano Katla is many times more powerful and she is long overdue. Greetings from Iceland the land of ice and fire.
Grimsvotn seems ready to go too
@@ryanwatterson4038 Yeah there are 5 volcanoes ready to rumble at the moment.
Walter mitty lived through it
This is some awesome footage.
1:14 - that shockwave on the live camera....crazy.
Bros turned into geiger counter💀💀💀
I love your videos about volcanos sooo much, trank you!!😀
14:25 If you live on the side of an active volcano, you cannot be upset or surprised when it erupts.
I feel I don't wanna live that Indonesia anymore. I will change my Nationality now
The Krakatoa Volcano eruption is very incredible, especially seeing strikes of lightning within the lava. 😮
The pressure being released is just amazing.
@@steverockwell5074 I Agree. Lol.
Love the videos dude! Keep it up 👍🏻
Yeah
Dude keep it up and also make sure to hit that like button and turn on the notification bell for insane video s
I love the lightning strikes in the plumes it’s amazing to see!
Very nice and amazing. Thank you
That one in Iceland was absolutely Incredible !!! That was an awesome video !!
That time lapse for the boom.Reminds me of whether your absence from a forest means theres no noise
Ah yes Mt Volcano, the pinnacle of creativity 👍

I clicked for volcanoes. I stayed for Stromboli
This is s great case history of volcanic eruptions. It should be used in geology classes. The amazing power of nature. Thanks for the compilation.
I was a kid in New Jersey when Mt. Saint Helens erupted. I remember the sky being a little darker immediately afterwards, and the moon was brown, then orange, then yellow, for months!
9:41 the fact that there is lightning in the volcano is just WoW
Fascinating, thank you.
I had a grandmother, an uncle, and an aunt who lived in Puyallup and Redmond at the time of the St. Helens eruption. Thankfully, they pulled through OK. As bad as the event itself was, my grandma grew the best potatoes I've ever had in that crumbly volcanic soil. 😎👍
In the island of sumatra, theres a volcano named mount toba and lake toba. Mount toba is the craziest explosion of all time. It erupted 74.000 years ago.
If anyone is ever in the area, I highly recommend visiting Mount St. Helens and doing the tours there. It’s an incredible place.
I wonder how long it took for you to master pronouncing the Icelandic volcano throughout the years of this channel
It seems like the volume and height of the Hunga Tonga ash plume will be enough to cause an abnormally cool winter this year.
It actually would warm the planet. The water vapor acts as insulation trapping heat and light within the atmosphere. Therefore keeping the planet warmer in the winter season. More storms and precipitation will be likely.
Mt St Helens ash cloud went all the way around the world
When Yellowstone blows, you can kiss it all goodbye.
Thank God it won't happen in anyone's lifetime that is watching this.
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.
and tobaa too
@@ImpendingJoker there's been an update on that, scientists have discovered that Yellowstone is waking up sooner than expected
I think not. Yellowstone may be a caldera. But most likely it will erupt at the weakest spot in the crust. Wich is not the whole caldera. Pretty disappointing. But hey, people like it too much to be afraid of anything. So we keep on fantasizing about Yellowstone destroying the whole Earth. 😂
The day Mt. St. Helens erupted was the day my dad got chased out of my grandparents home by my grandma wielding an iron frying pan.
Then he rolled his car and was brought back from the hospital by my grandpa to stay and recover. Grandma kept a very close eye on him and six months later, he became her son in law.
Awesome story!
@@jaywade3242 It’s a true story too. My dad calls my Grandma Mom.
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.
အထူးအထူး..ကိုကျေးဇူးတင်ပါသည်နော်..ချမ်းမြေ့ကြပါစေနော်..။။
Also, Mt St Helens hasn’t stopped erupting since. It’s been actively spewing out magma and ash since 1980
Spectacular show !
This video was very interesting. Great job to the creators and everyone who worked on this! Or if it’s one person. Even more props to you
As another kiwi of new zealand. White island is pretty much always erupting, always letting off smoke or steam. I'm pretty sure it's our most active volcano
It or Hawaii kilawaya
Props to the narrator for all these videos. Nice to listen to, great oratory skills 👍🏻👍🏻
Underworld you're one of my absolute favorite channels love the voice could listen to you narrate the dictionary lol love the videos keep it up and change nothing 💯💯☠
These are definitely some of the volcanic eruptions of all time.
WOW, Great video.
8:17 best handbrake park i've ever seen
Very, very interesting. 👌🇫🇷
I can’t believe I never saw that footage of Anak Krakatau before. That was incredible!
Great Video!!!!!!!!!
If you ever want to feel inspired and insignificant at the same time stand on a volcano when it erupts speaking from experience it is a sight to behold 🤯
Thank you , good video
Maybe you can include the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo
I moved to the P.I. in 1991, just after Pinatubo erupted. The ash was everywhere and lahar flows were so scary!
Now that's giant huge gray volcano that's powerfully huge
Very informative! Thanks👍🏾
Volcanoes are scary but also create life. Without them there would be no land for us to live
The destrucive power of these things always amazes me. Love volcanoes 🥰
I hate them ! They are the first step into satins house ! Burn baby burn !
destructive indeed but above all constructive. Without volcanoes no oxygen , no soil , no fertility , no life
Beautiful lightning 🥰
Ah, yeaaahhh!
Surprised there wasn't anything from the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption, a VEI 6.
I'm surprised too. I was there and witnessed the first eruption from Clark Air base.
I kept waiting to see that one
Going out by valcano is either badass or stupid. Not sure.
‘You can’t telll your mom this happened’ cracked me up lol
Excelente informe
There is an eerie photo out there by a photographer who was near Mount St. Helens when it erupted
I remember the Mt St Helens volcano. We live a few hundred miles to the north east of it in farm country. We were not given warning until ash had already started to fall (we got 1") while seattle was given an early warning and all they got was a light dusting. I guess we know where farmers stand.
Dad was in school in the Tri-Cities at the time - Ill have to ask him if he heard the boom from there, but I remember him talking about seeing it and the ash snow.
Yea, WA is ran by 2 counties the rest of the state doesn't matter compared to those 2 counties in the sound, it sucks.
Some got feet ! not inches" imagine 2 or 3 feet . Death follows closely behind .
@@RobertSmith-oc5nf whats scary about ash, breathing it in without a mask is like mixing cement in your lungs.
Its a horrifying way to go.
No.8 is one of my favourite Eruptions caught on Video! The Shockwave is awesome!
Letting those tourists onto that island, when the volcanologist said that was a bad idea, was financially irresponsible.🤬
Only financially? I wonder what your priorities...
The day Mt. Saint Helens erupted, my mom was graduating high school. She saw the ash plume from Kansas. Community thought the US had been attacked until the news that night that revealed the tragedy that had happened. Funnily enough, you can actually get something called hellenite which is glass made from the ash from that explosion since each explosion is like a fingerprint. It's green. I work in a crystal store and we have some. I've got some on hold to buy: one for myself, one for my mother.
Mt. St. Helens gives me chills. It's incredible to me that you can go on google maps and still see that Spirit Lake is partially covered in the SAME logs.
Finally someone understands what "Caught On Camera" means.
I know no one that doesn't know what caught on camera means . Is this a joke?
@RobertSmith-oc5nf most vids that say natural disasters "caught on camera" doesn't actually show any footage it shows stock footage of random stuff that most times doesn't depict what they are talking about and someone just tells a story over the pictures they show
This is a powerful information that you are sharing with the world this is very awesome video well done keep up the good work I am going to follow you forever have a great day
Man I love volcanoes.
The secret life of Walter Mitty. If you know, you know.

that is awesome
wow what a good volclano❤
That's one hunga-hunga burnin' volcano! 🎸
Krakatoa continues to grow and last erupted in April 2022. The volcano continues to grow at an average of 16 feet per year (5M)
4:03 “you can’t tell your mum this happened” she’ll never let you travel again 😂
Mother Nature never disappoints.
Very informative video. I learned that volcanoes are far less deadly than governments.
One of the very, VERY few 'Top 10 Worst' type videos that DIDN'T make a joke out of how dangerous or deadly natural events have been. In fact, the narrator went as far as to say "...even 1 life is too many' at the end of the vid. It's sad, but I'm surprised by this level of respect for the value of human life and the trauma the loss of land and property causes people being shown in this type of video. Thank you for that!!
The Krakatoa footage was pretty cool.
