  • This film has been produced through the VolFilm Partnership. It describes the hazard that volcanoes generate called pyroclastic flows. Find out what they are, how quickly they move and the properties they have that make them so dangerous and deadly.
    VolFilm is funded through the Challenge Fund: a partnership between the World Bank’s Global Facility for Disaster Risk Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) and the UK Department for International Development (DFID).

    "Death or severe injury is certain for those caught by a pyroclastic flow." You can just omit the "severe injury" part. No one actually directly hit by a pyroclastic flow is getting any outcome other than nearly instant death. There is no close call or survival condition with 1000-degree molten rock, gas, and ash.

      Severe injury is right, 1883 Krakatoa eruption saw some survivor from the pyroclastic flow, in an area of 3.000 people, 1.000 died from pyroclastic flow. The reason for that is the gas loses heat because they travel through the sea before reaching inland. Survivors are badly burnt with their skin melted and peeling off.
      There's a book detailing this event by firsthand accounts and official accounts from the Dutch government.

    Wow, thank you for this wonderful video. We are going to use it for our lessons on volcanoes. Do you have videos on other geologic topics? Thank you in advance.

    This has gotta be one of the WORST ways to die….Not only are you scorched alive, but you are forced to breath in extremely toxic gas, and painful rocks/debris…this is exactly what happened to Pompeii…

      Apparently it’s instantaneous though, so you wouldn’t even know what hit you by the time you’re dead. Imagine cooking at 1,000 degrees in 3 seconds flat. Definitely not a fun way to go either way. 😬

    Mt. Rainier has a well established 'lahar basin'...there have been many pyroclastic flows in the Nisqually valley.
    The Town of Nisqually has a Lahar Surfing Club...members of the Club keep surfboards on the roofs of their homes...

    I’ll never know why people build homes around volcanos. At the least be like 3 cities away minimum.

    • @amj5350
      @amj5350 2 года назад +4

      Because of the long timescales associated with volcanoes. It can be 1000 years plus before an eruption and in that time 2-3 generations of humans would have lived safely in the area. Volcanic slopes are good for agriculture and villages would grow in size close to the farming grounds. Proper emergency plans and education is key to reducing the risk from volcanic hazards.

      Absolutely I live next to Mt Taranaki and this has been capable of upto 40km pyro flows with mountain side collapses happening 5 separate eruptions over 135,000 years

    Now this is what the dust cloud at the wtc looked like which contained tremendous amounts of heat from the use of nuclear explosive devices contained in the basement which were blown upward through the buildings breaking the concrete floors and separating the exterior walls from the interior supports.
    The mushroom cloud was contained in the building, but the resulting heat formed something very much like this pyroclastic flow into the streets below. LLXIIX77

      The mushroom cloud from a nuclear explosive wouldn’t be contained in the WTC building. Plus, you would see the bottom of the building blow outwards before the collapsing top floors ever reached the upward expansion. Old school nuclear weapons using straight fission as a means of energy reach temperatures of 180,000,000 degrees F within the bomb casing and the isothermal sphere approx. 60 ft across reaches around 18,000,000 degrees F before the supercritical shockwave weakens enough for hydrodynamic flow to match the radiation driven shock front at approx. 1.8 million degrees F. At this point the fireball may be around 100 meters in diameter or more depending on the size of the fission detonation.
      Modern thermonuclear devices (meaning since the 1960’s) reach internal temperatures up to, and in excess of 630,000,000 degrees F depending on the size and number of thermonuclear fusion stages.
      During the actual WTC collapse of each tower, you can clearly see the the top floors collapse and begin spilling outward, making room for the energetic layers of newly pulverized concrete and metal to expand from the downward pressure of collapse.
