- In the United States, in the state of Wyoming is a national park called Yellowstone. Infamous for it's beautiful nature it's also home to one of the world's largest volcanoes. The Yellowstone volcano is a super volcano and if it decided to erupt, the results would be devastating. But just how devastating would they be?
Super volcanoes are real events. A million times more powerful than Hiroshima with just over 20 having been recorded in the history of the earth and over half of these happened in the USA. For the last 30 years scientists have been investigating where the next super volcano could erupt. With all this research, it has revealed that an active super volcano exists under Yellowstone National Park. If the Yellowstone Caldera erupted today, could we survive? How will impact USA?

I don't care if this documentary is old because I always like to learn new things and as long as it's educational I'm fine with it being old.
There’s tone of knowledge that is true now, was true a 1000 years ago, and will be true a 1000 years from now. So the date is irrelevant.
Well some facts will stay forever. like 1+1 makes 2. that never gets old.
Same. Once we got to the expert that talked about how pyroclastic flows have boiled the water inside of peoples cells to the point that their brains exploded out of their skulls I knew I had made the right click.
congrats.. lol
What makes you think it's old?
I live near it. Although, my boss will probably still call asking if I'm coming into work when it blows.
I think its blowing soon
😂😂😂😊
The only raise you would get, would be ground breaking.
My Mother and I live in the west side of South Dakota.
Well....are you?😅
Documentaries like this just drives home the fact that humans are just one natural disaster away from extinction.
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name.....
Yeah, basically
Exactly. We are so insignificant...
Well we forget we don’t control everything.
Nope, we can easily survive, it might kill a lot of people but we are the best creatures on the planet for surviving. We can grow food inside easily, and wind power is easy to generate and the best form of power, and it would be windy alright.
We think that we are in charge until nature reminds us who really is.
well my advice if you hear on the news yellow stone is erupting just accept it because it's due to erupt sometime soon so it will happen unfortunately due to natures time table
We're only in charge to a certain extent,and then humans try to play God, and we know what happens then.
Well the rich and powerful elite are safely in charge. The rest of us are just expendable peons. Any disaster that strikes won't affect them, because they have luxury bunkers that can protect them from anything.
If the aviation industry advanced at all planes would have dimples like golf balls to increase strength, reduce weight, improve aerodynamics and stabilize flight. Our fastest craft resembles the peregrine falcon . The peregrine falcon is the fastest dive bombing bird. The golf ball has dimples like a peregrine falcon and every other bird that has ever flown . Birds are perfect but planes and humans are not so we say no catastrophe goes to waste because they're all engineered in a way good watches have capacitors not batteries unfortunately God is for lithium miners to blame for California falling into the ocean 🙏.
When California goes Yellowstone goes so we mine the fault lines at the salt n sea for lithium and subsidize electric cars.
By the way, the supervolcanic eruption 74.000 years ago was not on the "Island of Toba", it happened on the island of Sumatra and what remains of it is Lake Toba.
I don't think most in the audience care much. The target audience of this type of content is more after entertainment than education.
@adoatero5129 You have no way of knowing that, unless you're a telepath. You just want to assume you're smarter than everyone else.
@@adoatero5129. Hey, I resent that remark.LOL. If I wanted entertainment, I’d watch the news.
I just looked up the Lake Toba on google maps. The thing is 60 miles long and 20 miles wide! It must have been some show when that volcano erupted. 🌋🌋🌋
I love how at 13:29, it shows Yellowstone erupting, and then a couple park rangers putting up a road closed sign. Like there would be a road left to drive down.
A Cauldera measuring
45 x50 miles across. When it blows and UNZIPS,LET ME TELL YOU 70 MILLION PEOPLE Gone INSTANTLY!
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist0 ooooookay thanks for that I guess
i love how u got it wrong. It was weeks before the eruption where that took place during the evacuation. Rewatch it
@@nmstrangerI think YOU need to rewatch it lol. There’s literally scenes of Yellowstone exploding before and after the scene with the road closure sign and no mention of it being weeks before. You’re probably thinking of the part later on in the video where they use that same footage again.
@@Gubbinsmcbumbersnoot i did and u just wrong. Now stop looking real ignorant and rewatch it lol. It's a scene of the evacuation BEFORE the explosion. It's ok to be ignorant but once corrected u still think it you are now dumb and no excuse for that. It's a scene from before the explosion. It didn't take place DURING the explosion. It's explained the scenes later in the video for fucks sake
Im a lone wolf biker have been all my life. Never in a group or club. I do charity rides. But at 65 and retired i just love to ride. I been through Yellowstone twice. Such a mysterious place. You can almost feel the power beneath your feet. And yet a very breathtaking scenery. And i really have to give a huge thank you to all the staff that protect and serve your needs. A must see for all. I will return again some day.
I have to imagine that it is a way more beautiful riding through that area instead of driving through it. Just having that connection between you and the road and feeling every bump and everything…I’m sure most people wouldn’t even think much about the difference in the experience between riding and driving. And although I’ve never rode through Yellowstone, I know the feeling of riding a bike on an open road. You have so much more of a connection to everything around you when you ride a bike.
Around the 27:30 mark in this video, you see a plane on its tail. That plane was on the Cubi Point Airfield at the Subic Bay Naval Station, Republic of the Philippines. My Marines and I were a mile due south of this in a Quonset hut in the Upper MEF camp.We had evacuated 80k from Clark Airbase and Subic and set up a 10km exclusion zone around Mt. Pinatubo. This picture was taken as we were getting our asses handed to us by not only an eruption 10x the size of Mt. St Helen that was 25miles to our Northeast but we also got hit with a typhoon coming in from our southeast
7 weeks of 18 hr patrols, no clean drinking water or breathing protection later, we were finally relieved and floated back to Oki.
Make a documentary of that.

That sounds like literal hell on earth. Thank you for service. Most will never know or appreciate the hell you've endured. And with no credit whatsoever.
Thank you for your service, Sir. ❤
Wow... that's insane.
Interesting, thank you for posting and also for your service. 🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲
Yellowstone isn't the only super volcano we need to worry about, not even the only one in North America. Canada has a sleeping giant no one speaks about. And there are others throughout the world
When ash spews from a volcano, it was once rock which has been baked at thousands of degrees. All water has been driven from the molecular nature of the rock, and like concrete, when it settles and gets wet it will once again reform the molecular structures of rock and solidify. In other words, the ash which coats the lungs turns to concrete. Painful is putting it mildly.
yeah, best to hold your breath when opening bags of cement or anytime you cut stone. You could get silicosis. Any rock dust you breath does not come back out. permanently in your lungs.
If Yellowstone popped off...we'd finally stop hearing all the super wealthy complain about climate change. 🤣
Na bro, they'd blame climate change
They would be dead
It's the super wealthy oil billionaires convincing you it's not real, so you'll vote against your own best interests. Just wow.
They'd claim, "We're all in this together." Then try and convince everyone how essential they are.
😅😅😅😅😅😅
I remember watching this years and years ago (because when I was little, my fav hobby was learning how we could all die lol). It's a nice recap.
We grew up with thugs , we did the same ! 💝
One of the roads leading to mt st Helens has a two story A frame house where only a little bit of the roof is still above ground. The other 12 or so ft of it was buried from the mud flow from the eruption miles away. Entire groves of trees layed over perfectly from the blast. Acres and acres of laid over trees. A miracle more people weren't killed.
Yeah I've seen that house, it hard to believe it could get buried when it's over 10 miles away! Scary stuff
More people tried hard to be. God they sure, suuure wanted to be. They sued the governor for not letting them be killed, then after not being killed, they sued the governor for trying to kill them. Morons
I've always loved these old History Channel mini docs
Yes, back when they actually talked about HISTORY, not stupid pawn shops and Sci-Fi UFO nonsense.
Our heavenly Father allows for signs in the earth, heavens, and environmental upheavals to call His children home. If you have not done so already and while it is called today: please call upon the name above all names, Yeshua Messiah of Nazareth, whom will bring you home!
@@richardmorgan6105huh?
I saw this on the National Geographic Channel myself.
Yes, I long for the days that the History channel actually featured history
I lived through mt. St. Helens and that was bad enough . I cant begin to imagine a bigger volcano would be like the end of the world.😢😢😢
I was born exactly one year to the day (May 18, 1981) after Mt. St. Helen erupted...
I was a baby born of ash.
Funny... I named my daughter "Ashley" ...
Love the line saying “it won’t be very fun”. 😂
I remember the effects of the Mt Penatubo eruption in 1991 that I observed in East Central Illinois. For the rest of the summer there was a grey halo around the sun. What I noticed happened one “sunny” day as I worked on my cultivator on my driveway. I had laid a wrench in the gravel as I worked. Normally when you tried to pick up the wrench lying in the sun with a bare hand it would be uncomfortably hot but when I picked it up it was barely warm.
Not to mention the most beautiful sunsets we had in California that year.
Same thing with the 1980 Mt. St. Helens eruption 😮
No. Mt.St Hellens blew out sideways whereas Mt Penatubo blew vertically with enough force to put ash up into the stratosphere where it stayed for a longtime. Not much precipitation that high up.
Mt P is not located in the USA
You’re right. It’s on the other side of the world. But the ash made its way here anyway.
I’ve learned way more on my own watching videos and doing research like this, than I ever did in school!!! That’s wild
They don't teach anything like they did in my day.
Our school system is truly old and run down. Teach kids after 8th grade.. trades.. on different jobs to prepare them for adult life.
Our heavenly Father allows for signs in the earth, heavens, and environmental upheavals to call His children home. If you have not done so already and while it is called today: please call upon the name above all names, Yeshua Messiah of Nazareth, whom will bring you home!
@@richardmorgan6105more delusional religious BS. Crazier than a 3 dollar bill.
Don't let your education interfere with your learning
This was fascinating and terrifying. I had totally forgotten that I should be afraid of this. Thanks, I guess.
30:55 find it hilarious how even with a super volcano eruption, kids would still be going to school 💀
Why not ,kids were sent to school during the 3 mile island nuclear disaster in 1979
We just can’t let those little minds full of mush get out of their required gov’t indoctrination.
Yea and waste a calamity day. Whats the deal?
I was a kid living in eastern Washington when St.Helens erupted. Remember that day very well. Never seen clouds like that. They were tar black. Looked like something out of an "end of the world" movie. By late afternoon the ash was falling so heavily that i could not see the porchlight when i turned it on. It was only about a foot to the side of the door. It was crazy spooky.
I was close to Mt saint Helens when It erupted I was driving semi truck
Every day is truly a gift
The early 2000's editing is wild lol😂
He's got the whole world in his hand!
He means God or the son of God and you need to be washed Of your sins , because hell is…………………
Yellowstone erupting!😢
Good watches have capacitors not batteries unfortunately God is for lithium miners to blame for California falling into the ocean 🙏.
When California goes Yellowstone goes so we mine the fault lines at the salt n sea for lithium and subsidize electric cars.
I remember that earthquake very well as it was when my Boy Scout group was camping at Hebgen Lake near ground zero. Myself and a friend decided at the last minute not to go on the outing. My friends were on the side of the lake where the water rose and invaded the campsite. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but had an interesting time there. Years later I was on a Uni trip to Quake Lake, to view differentt areas as to the destruction caused by the quake. Unbelievable! I grew up in Bozeman, not far from the Park. We have a saying about the volcano when it eventually blows, there goes the neighborhood.
I live in Belgrade. I met a man that was a geology student in Yellowstone when it hit. He had some interesting stories.
Watching steam blowing out of a signpost that was rotting from the inside out.
He said back then at the painted pots people could park really close to the pots and even sleep in their cars or a campground. He said everything there was covered in a foot of mud that blew out of the pots.
Roflmao😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Every time the Buffalo was shown struggling helplessly to breathe it tore my heart out. That was a horrible way for that majestic creature to die.
The buffalo was in trouble, but not from the super volcano. Someone filmed the buffalo.
@@ShirleyDrake-xx2csduh that's how we saw it...... some people....... I just can't get over the stupidity of humans..... Why make the comment "someone filmed the buffalo" ?
The same here, it is terrible to see animals suffer. Greetings from the land of moose, Finland

Relax it was an AI buffalo
Secretly all viewers are rooting for the volcano
I secretly agree. America needs a wake up call to get back on the right track from corrupt political climate change.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Its subsidized
Im digging this oldie but goodie. Recent discussion about shifting lakes at Yellowstone and the activity in Iceland are explained by this documentary. Thanks for posting.
We now know that the whole West Coast and heartland gets covered in Ash from Yellowstone, even down into Mexico and up into Canada . And they've been able to map the magma chamber underneath it and there are at least 10 previous eruptions over the last 500,000 yrs. that make a trail. I saw this when it first came out. Excellent use of the newest technology they had.
(There are tens of thousands of people who have lung issues that they don't know about. Even a person with normal lung capacity and tissue would be in danger of having lung failure. Please remember, if you're ever stuck out during one of these to have something over your face. if it's not an n95, wet whatever kind of material you have and put over your nose and mouth and wear protective goggles. Ash from Yellowstone is like ground glass.)
That doesn't make sense, as the prevailing winds are from the west and would move the ash cloud towards the east. All weather systems in the us move in this direction even if they come from the cold north, or warmer south. The ocean winds only go offshore when a big system is brewing, then back to onshore again.
The guy in the video said the most recent eruption was .6 million years give or take 100,000.
I think breathing ash will be the least of our worries. Food production would come to a halt. Most of us will starve to death anyway in a short time.
Weird advice.
@@Lavonne9870 here, read this. ffs. www.usgs.gov/observatories/yvo/news/modeling-ash-distribution-yellowstone-supereruption
@@Lavonne9870Mt Saint Hellen’s shows what happens! Portland Oregon had ash all over everything & cars were ruined!😡
Description says Yellowstone is infamous for being beautiful? Infamous means "famous for bad reasons" being a beautiful place would make it FAMOUS.
It is famous for bad reasons - it's a beautiful place, but if it erupts, it's killing everything and everyone in its path.
@darkenvy1901 But in recent human history it has been regarded by many as beautiful - hence it is famous for that attribute, NOT infamous for it.
"Fine ash hangs in the air, the same air we breathe"
Have I been missing out on some special air that we don't breathe?
A good doco thanks, I saw Mt Pinatubo aftermath at Clarke Air Force Base and at Olongapo City near Subic Bay. It was the second-largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century occurring at Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines on June 15, 1991. When Yellowstone erupts it may be the end of all life on Earth as they have said, a sobering thought. Our little blue dot planet basically, sadly, dead in space.
The youth of today can, via this documentary, experience the joys and quality of VHS...
This isn't quite as bad as VHS. Broadcast quality in the 80s (and into the 90s) was 525 lines tall (only about 500 or so were visible). VHS recorded at half that resolution.
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist0 Hang on, is this the being who's modern day disciples are statistically more likely to be child molesters than any other profession? I don't think all those kids abused by the clergy (male and female) in Irish, church owned and run orphanages, are going to agree with you. Or how about the Vatican (and the - many - Popes) knowing about the abuse by priests and nuns, yet still sent them to 'third world' countries where they could continue their abhorrent behaviour without oversight nor scrutiny? Religion is corrupt and the route of all evil, not our salvation from it.
Amen✨💛✨🙏✨💛✨
I started off watching a very small black and white television.
They probably say "What is VHS" I recently replace my normal flatscreen Tv to a UHD one. It feels strange watching the TV now.
The Supervolcano movie (docudrama) is also worth watching (and available on CZcams) - my husband shows it to his first year Geology classes and makes a point of pointing out the political interference with the scientists.
I loved this movie
Thank you for heads up on movie. Hope to view.
My father deceased advised me to keep Yellowstone in my sights.
Take Care 🌿🌎🌍🌏
If you guys are interested, there is a channel called “Mary Greeley news” I think where she monitors all the data the the Geological survey posts regarding yellowstones behavior in real time. She is a little extreme sometimes but it’s fun to see her amateur/self taught analysis of the tremors and constant earth quakes happening. She always says “it’s happening soon you guys, get ready” lol
The most recent international supervolcano wasn't Toba, it was Taupo in New Zealand, some 25,700 years ago.
As a newzealander we don’t want that volcano going off
This presentation is rich in depth, and I am grateful to the producers for making it. However, it is not long enough to address a myriad of other likely events that could take place during and immediately after an explosive eruption. For example, the Yellowstone Caldera is a neighbor to a number of unstable seismic faults that run adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, from south of Los Angeles all the way up to Vancouver/British Columbia. Could these be triggered by a massive event at Yellowstone? And what about parts of our national nuclear arsenal housed in silos throughout the lands east of the Rocky Mountains? Would they survive, or would they also explode and further damn the human race?
That's a great thought experiment. I guess it's my knowledge to think that it could in no way set off the nukes unless they are armed. I never thought of the fault lines though. You think it'd be able to "shake" through the rockies enough to cause a slip in the plates?
That is a good question, I think if the cascadia or even mabe the san Andreas fault goes it could set the yellow stone off, we are over do for both faults
As a former nuclear weapons specialist in the military I can assure you if the volcano goes off the missiles in the area will not explode. There are a number of safety measures in place that aren't public knowledge in addition to the fact they have to be armed to explode. Having said that and having no experience in geology other than being an avid fan and student for decades, I think you can easily and safely assume a super volcanic eruption in Yellowstone WILL affect the fault lines on the entire west coast. There are several documentaries that address this.
I also believe, with reasonable certainty from having watched many documentaries on a Yellowstone eruption, that if the volcano did erupt, and it WILL at some time in the future but that could be thousands of years from now, even if the fault lines were triggered and the weapons did go off, I'm not sure anyone would take a lot of notice. We would be experiencing much worse things at that point, all over the country. Kind of like leaving the stove on while the house is burning down. Wouldn't worry too much about the stove.
@WTFMIKE Good point on the nukes. If they're still in place, they're probably disarmed.
On those major fault lines, I think they'd react. They're quite unstable. And remember, the seismic universe runs far underneath the land we stand on. I think I'll dig out my map on tectonic plates and fault lines and see if there's any connection.
The awesome amount of sheer destructive power that a small volcano has is humbling. The thought of one the size of Yellowstone erupting truly makes me feel panicky, tiny, and helpless on the planet.
All that it tells me is to get my house in order. Because there will be no "house" left and no "me" left!
Didn't watch this one watched nick zenters, Supervolcanoes in the Pacific Northwest he has another one as well. Lets put it this way if you are in the USA and it goes up don't bother packing, just say your prayers. However there are some other supervolcanos on the other side of the planet prolly be the same result depending which one.
He has one on the Flood Basalts of the Pacific Northwest you could watch that one instead maybe get a better picture of the after effects.
You'll be fine. It isn't going to erupt in your life time... most likely not even in your children's children time.
It’s times like this that I’m glad I took those hip hop dance classes
Yeah
I still have my 1980 souvenir
of Mount Saint Helens fallout.
I definitely learned a lot from this video. Thank you for sharing. ❤
"Regular" volcanoes don't always signal an imminent eruption, such as the deadly eruptions of Japan's Mt. Unzen & New Zealand's White Island; both of which erupted with no warning. One WOULD expect a supervolcano to give warning, as Italy's Campi Flegrei is currently doing. Still, the signs may be subtle, spread out over extended periods of time & great distances within & around a caldera. Each volcano is different, & even dormant ones can suddenly become active with a boom. Bottom line: any volcano which is not confirmed extinct can erupt at any time, & I wouldn't even trust the extinct ones. There's STILL molten rock beneath them.
Sort of. The most recent eruptions at both Unzen and White Island didn't give an *immediate* warning, but it was absolutely known to volcanologists monitoring them that they were very active and that an eruption could occur at any time. Yellowstone, meanwhile, shows absolutely no indication that an eruption of any size could occur at any time in the forseeable future, much less in the immediate future.
@@zackakai5173 Well, that's the thing about "active" volcanoes. There's most usually SOME type of activity going on - venting, tremors, ground deformation, etc. These types of indicators show that they ARE active, & can go on for yrs. People begin to take such indicators for granted, until sadly, in rare instances, those are the only indicators the volcanoes give before an eruption. As I said, one WOULD expect significant upticks in activity from a supervolcano prior to an eruption; but every volcano is unique. Yellowstone has its magma chamber approx. 5-6 mi. beneath the planet's surface. Also, in recent yrs., volcanologists have discovered a much larger magma reservoir approx. 100 mi. beneath the chamber, & conduits feeding from the deep reservoir to the relatively shallow chamber. It's possible the chamber is drawing from the reservoir slowly, with little to no indications on seismometers. Certainly, when the upper chamber reaches critical mass & magma begins rising to the surface, we might expect changes to become apparent. Still, the question is, how MUCH warning, & will we have time? Thanks for your considered reply.
MAIS PERTO ESTA BIDEN'S E TRUMP'S E QUEM MAIS ESTIVER COM O 'S
@@mhd7832 Stop the bullshit. This video has nothing to do with anything about politics
If there are earthquakes happening, it is entirely possible to tell how molten the magma chamber on a caldero or caldera system is, and it is known not a volcano cannot erupt unless the magma chamber is at least 50% molten, as far as anyone can tell, the magma chamber at Yellowstone is I think 5% molten at most. As far as I can tell, at least 95% of the earthquakes at Yellowstone National park are caused by water slipping through existing fault lines, allowing the rock to more easily slide around, which is what these earthquakes are. Magma based earthquakes are very different because they do not happen along existing fault lines. They will happen in areas where there are not known existing fault lines and the earthquakes will be relatively centralized instead of happening in a relatively large area, potentially even along an entire fault line depending on how much water there is.
What was happening in June? As far as any scientists are able to tell would be a bunch of water percolating into the ground from snow causing way more earthquakes than is regular because there's just a lot more water in the ground.
If you want the most accurate website for information around any volcano in the US, usgs.gov is probably going to be your best source. It takes information from both scientists that are employed by the government and a bunch of independence that share their information, and also contains a lot of very fun information about basically anything geology related across the entire US. I don't know if it includes Hawaii and Alaska though and I'm too lazy to figure it out
I love documentaries like this! I want to find one about La Breya tar pits.
That's an easy one. Thousands/Millions of years ago when the tar pit was probably much bigger than it is today, Animals may have confused it with a watering hole, wandered in and sinking in the tar. As they were sinking their preditors saw them as an easy meal, not realising what lay ahead. They too wandered in for their "easy meal" and themselves became stuck. Over many millennia loads more animals made the fatal mistake of getting too close to this natural trap and as such the tar pits has become a grave for anything from Insects to large Prehistoric Animals, such as Wholly Mammoths, Sabre Toothed Tigers, to name but two! Have a Nice Day and the Videos on the Tar Pits can be found On - Line.😊
It’s called La Brea, look for it that way.
are you talking about the LA BREA PITCH LAKE in trinidad and tobago
There was a mini series several years ago that did a very good depiction of what the scientists are just now saying. It was called "Super Volcano" if i remember correctly and stared Roy Schneider, the actor who portrayed the sheriff in "Jaws" as one of the scientists monitoring Yellowstone. That series showed what the initial eruption looked like and the effects of the ash cloud as it traveled across the United States. I forget which network it aired on but it sounds some of these people did not watch it because they are just now saying what that showed several years ago.
The winter after Mt. StHelen's erupted about 75 miles away in Ellensburg, Washington it was considerably warmer. The Mount actually blew twice. In Kittitas County there was about 2 to 3 inches of ash everywhere.
I found this to be really interesting..thank you for sharing.😊😊
The catch is...Yellowstone is also on the continental divide which suggests that the magma pockets could be interconnected to earthquake fault lines throughout all of North America and potentially South America also. It is my belief as a geo-engineer that the caldera at Yellowstone going off would set off a network of volcanos throughout all of North America along with all of the earthquake fault lines going as high as 10.0 on the Richter scale.
In one hour it would be the destruction of the continent of America. No nukes needed to destroy us. Nature will take care of that!
You're a "Geo Engineer" awesome, I have two Geo convertibles, one is a 93 and one is a 94, 3 cylinder, 5 speed standard transmissions, awesome cars, I'm just being stupid, I agree with your comment, I also think it would trigger many other geological events
...in other words - be somewhere else?
I've heard that if it erupts, it will be bye-bye to most of North America.
10.0?
You have no basis to make such a rediculous claim.
Thank you for this informative presentation!
I love these old style natural disaster documentaries, the kind where by the end of it you feel like it's really going to happen any day now 😅
When these natural disasters won't happen for 100,000 more years and humans won't be here anyway. These disaster films never talk about the REAL geologic time-scale, which is tens of millions of years.
Start Prepping! It could happen tomorrow.
OMG I came here to say something about the quality of this video but I just read your comment and now I completely do not want to say anything bad about this video. It was educational and I love you positive attitude.
It's never what if, it's when
Basically. Sit back and sip the beer. We going on a ride
😮
I live in Fort Wayne IN. My mom and i felt some of the effects of mt. St. Helen. Our cupboards shook a little as well as the rest of the apt. We wondere what happened. On the news that night said the volcano erupted . We were shocked to have felt anything that far away .
A Super Volcano is usually defined as a VEI8 volcano - over 1000 cubic kilometers of material ejected. The last VEI8 eruption on earth occurred about 26,500 years ago in Taupo New Zealand. This event ejected about 1,170 km3. Smaller than Toba, but still in the super volcano range!
Apparently Toba almost made ancient man go extinct from the nuclear winter it created. Approx 74 thousand years ago. It might be set to go off every so often like Yellow stone.
Wow i knew lake Taupo was a super volcano but interesting. I live just up the road and was working during Ruapehu's two eruptions in Taupo it was the amount of dust that covered trucks coming through Desert Road that was amazing.
@@wackynz3260 Cool but if any of those ever go off you will be incinerated. So you might want to move.

Maybe this is why Zuck is building a multimillion dollar underground structure on one of the Hawaiian Islands.
Hawaii... The best spot for something like this... Like not.
He's a fool that will be trapped in a submerged shelter.
A lot of well to do people have them. They know something is about to happen. Compare with what it says in Rev 6:12 describing something that causing the sun and moon darkening and in v.15 describing all them that are hiding in their underground bunkers. Fascinating how all this will happen. But I'm afraid that it will get worse for mankind after this happens. I'm meaning not to spread fear, but we should be prepared.
The gospel of our salvation 1Cor. 15:1-4.Just believe with all your heart Rom.10:8-10.God bless us all amen.
This seriously sounds exactly like Revelation
My thoughts exactly
I find no comparison. Revelation 9 has already happened...during Desert Storm. Revelation 8:10-11 describes Chernobyl. In fact, the literal translation of Chernobyl IS Wormwood. What would John equate a nuclear meltdown to look like? A star, falling from heaven. At least a third of the fresh ground water on earth was poisoned by radioactivity from Chernobyl.
@@SC-sn3xs doesn't Revelation talk about those demons rising up from the earth with sulfur coming out of their mouth or something like that? That's definitely what made me think of the comparison, but if not, I definitely stand corrected! Thank you for your opinion! I'm still learning:)
Yellowstone is not the only unique place with hot spring's & geyser's. Here in Kenya Naivasha in the lift valley we have hot springs & geyser's. Our power utility company taps the hot steam to harness & generate geothermal power & also attract tourism. Maybe the US government should use this natura resource.
I really enjoyed listening to the scientists that created theories and their research to test the theories. I think that tracking down a guy who saw something in 1960 something and hearing it from the horses mouth is really engaging.
The video and audio presentation was great too! When it started the sound simulation of a super eruption, I had just turned on my car and it transferred to my car speakers. It sounded so very much like the first earthquake I experienced, it was very realistic. I think my car was shaking. 😂
At the conclusion am I the only one thinking, “Great! I get to starve slowly over the course of months or years! Yea! I’m not going to spend weeks wracked with pain slowly suffocating. Or maybe I’ll move to Wyoming….😂😂😂😂

Yeah I'm heading straight to ground zero. Get it over with quickly haha
I feel the same way about nuclear bombs. If I know it's happening then I will sit out front and watch it. I refuse to live in a Mad Max world.

@@richardsparks4207 Stop being such a Cold War baby. 😂😂😂😂
It’s funny, kids nowadays face many things I never had to, but my generation dealt with the end of the human race at any given time quite well, I think.😂
I love documentaries, thank you for posting this.
It appears the history channel is history
Mentioned at the very beginning, the bison that died immediately brought to mind John, Ellen, Miju, and Oksi. I've never been fully convinced it was regular heatstroke alone.
And the osteoblasting creating spurs in a week. Would ltk
Gaseous volcanic fumes are extremely corrosive, poisonous, and denser than the surrounding atmosphere. They smother the immediate area, as well as collect in and flow downhill into depressions and along valleys. It amazes me that people still climb in and around active volcanoes. Including Yellowstone.
This is ignoring the solids, superheating, and seismics.
Nobody said that humanity in general was very smart.
Truly a harrowing thought. Brilliant documentary
Excellent documentary.
wow -a frightening event indeed.
Fantastic documentary.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
44:42 Nice breakdown, very reassuring. Learned some good stuff from this video, chief among them is don't bother building a bunker, not unless you live within like an 800-900 mile away window. XD although I live in Denver, so Run don't walk.
For people who like this, then check out Toba eruption. It was last super volcano eruption and was bigger than last yellow stone eruption and was about 70,000 years ago
Fabulous documentary, very interesting and scary possibility. Thanks for making such a knowledgable and informative video that was great to watch and kept me in my seat.
If this volcano does anything in the next 100000 years it's shut down.
Our heavenly Father allows for signs in the earth, heavens, and environmental upheavals to call His children home. If you have not done so already and while it is called today: please call upon the name above all names, Yeshua Messiah of Nazareth, whom will bring you home!
@@richardmorgan6105 I call on Jesus and our Lord the father and holy spirit to keep me safe and informed at all times, to fogive my sins and feel my heart love that I send to him and all that are a true part of humanity on earth.
When I last visited about ten years ago, I went to see "Old Faithful." They had a schedule of when it would blast. We waited. It didn't happen. The rangers appeared concerned. My sense is that calling it faithful may no longer be appropriate.
Yeah idk why they have times when it’s not on a timer. Lol it blows when ever it wants too, it’s not a bus with a schedule. It’s pretty consistent over time, but not enough to set your watch by it. They probably do that to keep the tourists coming.
Thankyou for introducing me to your place
Without watching, my understanding is that if Yellowstone errupts, it'll not be just one large valcano, but many, which will cover the Northern hemisphere with the potential of trigging a 'nucleur winter' aka ice age.
AKA the crap hitting the fan.
No no… WHEN Yellowstone erupts
I have always told my loved ones never visit Yellowstone.
Fascinating
I have watched this about 6 times i think.
What if a giant icy meteor smashed into Yellowstone? Sheesh!!!
Awesome video
This is quite scary...
Years ago i worked with an lumberjack that was on Mt St Helen the day it erupted. Very insane story he had
And I was on a TV show called the Flintstones
@@jbroadbelt6 were you barney
@brettjenson2588 care to share the story??
It would take me a day to type it out 😆 🤣 😂
@@brettjenson2588best start typing then
The exclusion zone on Monserrat covers more than half of the island to this day - nearly 30 years after the eruption of 1997, and Mt St Helens' surroundings are still considered unsafe.
Definitely an interesting video
Like how you did the controls for window.
"What Happens If A Super Volcano Erupts? "
It would be a major bummer man!
That would be great !
Bring it on
What i was wondering is if it erupts, does it necessarily have to be the all encompassing super eruption, can it be a localized smaller eruption.
Of course it could have a smaller eruption.
41:15 Look at Google maps. You can find Lake Toba near the north end of the island of Sumatra. It still takes my breath away to see how big that caldera is.
As a degreed geologist (BU ‘89), I have had a sick fascination with Yellowstone and the New Madrid fault. Having grown up suffering decades of heartbreak regarding my Chicago Cubs, I decided that if they won, the end of the world is next. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they won in 2016, because look what happened as a result.
On a good note... that ash is a fantastic and natural fertilizer.
So is a human corpse!😅
My spirit & soul belongs to Wyoming & Yellowstone, but im an older lady. now with that being said theres nothing i wouldnt do to work in her great park. We lived in Wyoming for 9 years & every day i dreamed of going to Yellowstone to work there. If theres a job that yous feel like i could do even with a bad spine top to bottom, you just say & ill be there.
Night audit at one of the hotels? It's not terribly physical, though you will be expected to move around occasionally and help with guest questions and such, and usually this person helps put out the breakfast. A friend of mine used to do this and about 75% of his shift was sitting on his bum browsing the internet listening to a printer go wiiiirrrrr.
@@tobiassowles3428 I will have to look into that see if anyone up there is hiring.
If/when Yellowstone "goes off" we're in very deep trouble - World wide....
Yess, with the difference everyone on other continents will survive and everyone on the North America continent will most likely perish and die on the spot…
No.
The current fill and depth of the "new" magma chamber does not support a super eruption.
This is a very old video that did not take into account that previous calderas are in various positions (showing the continetal crust movement, subsequent magma hot spots and the susbtences currently in said hot spot).
We have done a ton more seismological surveys since and have come to the conclusion that, even if an eruption were to occur, the current condition is *not* supportive of a super eruption of past scales.
The immediate 3-8 miles is more likely to be decimated by the blast, with 30-60 miles or so decimated by ash (lvl 5-7).
This *is* big, but not super.
Good, thin the herd.
Why world wide? How will it affect Africa or Iran for example?
Cool. I didnt expect that I should see the movie "2012" as a documentary
It would be glorious!
This information can help me to learn about the planet.
Just like the video of the 2018 eruption of Kiluea(Hawaii). Or the video of the types of lava we see at erupting volcanoes.
I'm not going to school anymore but, i can still learn a lot. And still do.
Man was capable of producing an artificial explosion 50x smaller than a super volcano. That's pretty crazy
It's not the same, though. You can only do the comparison on energy released. A nuke that big, would do little, compared to an eruption. A nuke releases all its energy in an instance, in a very concentrated point.
If governments were still chasing the biggest nuclear bomb idea they could make one bigger I think, if they crack nuclear fusion and that goes wrong, or right if they were making it into a weapon the whole planet could be cosmic debris.
OLHA DEPOIS DESTA REAÇÃO VEM O MAREMOTO O TERREMOTO E O TISUNAMI .RESA POR NADA ACONTECER VIU#
@@akyhne Exactly I was talking about the energy.
Man was able to create an explosion 50 times larger than some super eruptions, I've only seen the first couple minutes of this video but the fact that it says a super eruption is exactly this much power or whatever, That is a massive red flag cuz no two volcanic eruptions are exactly the same, also if we assume it was 50 times more powerful than Hiroshima, The Soviets produced a bomb well over 200 times more powerful than what the Americans dropped on Hiroshima.
Tzar Bomba was a 50 megaton air dropped nuclear bomb, and that 50 megaton variant was a test just to see if this was even practical to make and if it was how dangerous it would be because they were not able to guarantee the pilots survival, It was originally intended to be a 100 megaton behemoth (so almost a thousand times more powerful than Hiroshima)
That was interesting to know
Seeing actual footage of Mount St Helens blowing half of the mountain apart blows my mind, guess I’m lucky living in the uk, no volcanos no earthquakes, not big ones anyway, no crazy weather tornadoes etc, no tsunamis 😅😅
Very interesting. Very good information. People better beware this could happen any moment
Something about naked science docs is better than others.
