    my geology lecturer gave us all a copy of this film, he said that although the volcanic activity is speeded up for dramatic effect, Dante's Peak is actually one of the most accurate movie depictions of an eruption.

    • @Deined
      @Deined 10 месяцев назад +24

      Yep. IIRC, about the only thing about volcanoes the film got wrong was people moving around so much in the presence of volcanic ash so thick in the skies. The air would've realistically been so thick with the stuff anyone out in it would've suffocated before they got too far.

    • @leiderhosen7110
      @leiderhosen7110 10 месяцев назад +31

      ​​@@DeinedThe thee biggest inaccuracies:
      Stratovolcanos do not produce fast flowing lava, since lava that thin wouldn't be dense enough to compact into a mountain. Hawaiian volcanos spread thin and fast, Stratos like St Helen's explode.
      Acidification of lakes is a real thing, but only crater lakes SATURATED by minerals over a long period get as dangerous as what was shown in the movie. Most lakes would be comparable to the pH of a can of soda--insurvivable to wildlife but harmless to humans.
      Pyroclastic flows are so hot they are instantly lethal from several kilometers away, so everyone would be incinerated in the final act.
      However, these are intentional for dramatic effect, not mistakes. The director was counseled by actual experts in the field for authenticity and it really shows.

    The volcanic inspiration for “Dante's Peak” was the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, which was used as a filming location for some scenes in the movie. “Dante's Peak” is also strikingly similar to the 1981 movie “St. Helens,” which portrays a slightly dramatized story about the real event.

      Actually it is sorta a combination of the 1961 film "The Devil At 4 O'Clock" and the 1980 St. Helens eruption- "The Devil At 4 O'Clock" had similar storyline in which an island volcano that was erupting for a bit as the inhabitants scrambled to evacuate, while the main character raced to rescue a bunch of kids from a hospital near the volcano and get off the island. And there was also one final big explosion, albeit not a lateral one and the fate of the main characters were far grimmer. Unlike these 2 fictional volcanoes St. Helens eruption didn't really erupt until that big lateral eruption, and there was already a growing lava dome on the side before it went off.

    I lived in Mexico City when this movie came out. Around that time, the Popocatépetl, a volcano close to Mexico City became active after centuries of being dormant and covered the city with a white layer of ash.
    Luckily the volcano only throws occasional smoke and ashes, but watching this movie was a trip when that happened. Not that Mexico City was in immediate danger (Puebla City for instance is much closer to the volcano than Mexico City), still impactful.

    If you look at aerial photos of Edinburgh Scotland there's a place called Arthur's Seat and you can see the signs of a collapsed caldera/ volcano.
    Edinburgh castle was built on the plug rock of an extinct volcano, which glaciers over millions of years eroded away.
    And pyroclastic clouds are like avalanches but made of molten rock, ash and gas, if I remember correctly faster than avalanches because of the gas combination.

Thankfully, most of them are in Alaska.

Only two people survived and one of them was a prisoner named Ludger Sylbaris because the prison cell he was in was partially deep underground made of thick stone with no windows except for narrow grating on the door. He only suffered some burns on his arms, legs, and back and avoided breathing air by using his clothes to stuff the door. The cell is still standing there today.

They said that while it was a major inconvenience to have their town flooded with fake ash, they were excited about having a movie made there and having that as their claim to fame ever since. I also talked to a local cop who said he pulled over Pierce Brosnan for going well over 100 MPH in a fancy sports car on a nearby freeway. (Apparently that is his way of unwinding between filming, driving really fast and hoping he doesn't get a ticket.)

    Dante's Peak is my favorite disaster film, probably because it sticks as close to the truth as possible for a Hollywood film. I'm not sure why it received the ratings that it did. If you get a chance, watch the behind the scenes of the special effects: they put so much work into them for a great payoff.

    Absolute classic. Lots of scientific accuracy and realism (though exaggerated on purpose), and the special effects are STILL great to this day, probably because they used as many practical effects as they could even with CG as an option.
    They even built and exploded a 30ft model mountain for Dante's Peak, only using cg to place it in the background. The scene of them on the mountain itself was Mt St Helens, which inspired the movie, and it makes a full cameo in the very last shot.

    • @mnomadvfx

      It's less a dueling disaster thing than a general twin movie trend in Hollywood where something like a volcano eruption, an alien landing or a virtual reality story ends up getting made by more than one studio - because Hollywood clearly isn't very secure from production rumors at all, too many people have worked at different studios 😅
      Good examples apart from the ones you mentioned are ET/Starman, Dark City/Thirteenth Floor/The Matrix/Existenz, Johnny Mnemonic/Starnge Days and The Abyss/Deepstar Six/Leviathan.
      Though there are dozens more examples to be found on Wikipedia - it's quite an eye opener to see how much Hollywood studios plagiarised from each other over the last 40+ years.

    Also, cast and crew of this movie found themselves in a distribution race with 20th Century Fox, which was producing Volcano (1997) at the time. Due to a sped-up production schedule, this movie reached theaters almost three months earlier than Volcano and had better box-office success.

    Geologist here. Volcanoes like Mt St. Helens are usually a few hundred km from the actual plate boundaries. They form where 2 plates are colliding and the oceanic crust is getting pushed down towards the mantle and starts melting. That melt comes up and forms volcanoes inland - e.g all the volcanoes along the pacific coast, Alaska, Japan, Indonesia, New Zealand - aka the ring of fire. They could potentially be associated with major earthquakes but it would be pretty coincidental that the volcanoe would erupt at the same time as a major earthquake. And earthquakes associated with the eruption itself wouldn't be "knock down the church" intensity. I don't think anyways... That aspect is pretty Hollywood... But as far as "Geology movies" go, this one is better than Volcano, and whatever the movie where the core stopped spinning and they sent a human led expedition down there, yikes. Also, if you want to see a real volcano/lava, there's a cool one in Nicaragua called Masaya - you can see right down into the lava lake. I go there for work every few months and have been several times.

You should watch The Poseidon Adventure 1972. Really well done, based on a novel where the author was inspired when his own trip on the Queen Mary got hit by a rogue wave and rolled on it's side before slowly righting itself.

Yellowstone (as in the national park) is one big supervolcano similar in size though, and isn't considered dormant, with the last eruption around 600,000 years ago.

First try packaging tape or duct tape to get the bigger stuff out, then use a fast drying glue or silicone or latex caulk spread on lightly and it will get into the pores and dry to the fibers. Slowly peel the dried glue or caulk off and most of the glass fibers should come out, latex paint will also work for pulling fibers out. Showering can cause fibers to work in deeper sometimes, depending on how fine they are.
    This also works on regular broken glass, metal dust or shavings, cactus spines, and most importantly, that annoying glitter from cards around the holidays.

      Never worked with fiberglass, but this sounds like great practical advice. Hope she sees it.

      My family treats glitter cards like the plague. If possible, they get read while still in the envelope, and then they go straight to the trash!

    This movie was almost a one to one copy of the Mt. St. Helens eruption. The river full of trees, the cloud, pretty much everything. Unimaginable.

    Best portrayal of a Pyroclastic Flow in cinema. A volcano in the Cascades Range would not have lava at all which is why they are so dangerous. The flow typically moves at average speeds of 100 km/h (30 m/s)(~62 mph) but is capable of reaching speeds up to 700 km/h (190 m/s)(~435 mph). The gases and tephra (glowing hot rock) can reach temperatures of about 1,000 °C (1,800 °F) [see Wikipedia]. There would also be considerable volcanic glass that would be in sharp shards due to the magma frothing up as bubbles, freezing and being broken. It would also be highly acidic. All volcanologists would love a truck that could survive a lava flow 😁

    Volcanos like the one in the movie are not on the edge of a plate but at a hot spot made by a plate melting underneath another. Iceland is one that the plates are spliting at the volcano site. The one in movie is like Mount St. Hellens in the cadcade range. It is a stratovolcano that blast ash high in the sky. You should check out the Yellowstone SupperVolcano, the whole park is in the throat. The one in the movie is baby compared to yellowstone. Yellowstone dumped 15 ft of ash 200 miles away and could drop inches on the east coast.

      Yeah If it goes off the best bet is to have already moved to Peru, India or Australia. Most of North and Central America will be pretty unlivable for the next 5 to 10 years. Should eventually have some very rich soil but that will be after the ash settles and firms up.

      The Cascade volcanoes _are_ on a plate boundary. Well, offset a bit inland to above where the subducted plate is melting. Ditto for Fuji.
      Yellowstone and Hawaii are hotspot volcanoes, powered by flows rising from deep in the mantle.
      And Iceland is both -- a hotspot currently under the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

    I'm not a scientist either but I think the earthquakes in relation to a volcanic eruption are caused by magma moving up to the surface, the pressure changes beneath and the collapse of magma chambers etc.
    Also, the use of miniatures in this movie is absolutely amazing.
    EDITED TO ADD: The driving into the mine might be a reference to the famous 1902 eruption of Pelee on the island of Martinique. 30K were killed by the pyroclastic flow, but they found one survivor who only lived through it because he was a prisoner in a basement cell.

    25:26 "Who knew Geologists were such a dangerous profession?"
    Two names for you: David Johnston and Harry Glicken. Johnston was killed in 1980 at 30 years of age by Mt. St. Helens. He was Glicken's mentor. Glicken was killed just over 11 years later at 33 years of age by Mt. Unzen. The roles very well could have been reversed; Johnston wasn't scheduled to be up at Coldwater Observation Post the morning of the St. Helens eruption, but he had taken over Glicken's shift so the younger man could go do an interview for his graduate work.
    Dante's Peak does a pretty good job of getting across the battle of stubborn locals vs. scientist's concerns vs. political pressures. Basically all this stuff played out in one form or another during the leadup to the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980.

    True fact: Pierce brosnan did a majority of his own stunts, including the helicopter stunt where he was holding onto terry on the Crane on the volcano.
    One year later the movie "volcano" with tommy lee jones came out. That's a good cross counterpart. And TLJ does a good job as well in it

    These tiny volcano's aren't the ones to worry about. Yellowstone Park is a super volcano. The caldera (crater), the opening on the top of a volcano, is 80 Km wide. The magma chamber has been shifting for decades and could be filling. Now, there's no evidence that it will erupt any time soon. But geologically speaking, it could erupt any time. Meaning within the next 100,000 years.

      Look in my case. We Filipinos have been living with active and exploding volcanoes since forever.
      Last eruption we went through was when the Taal Volcano erupted last January 12, 2020. It rained ash and lava fragments, pumice and mud for hundreds of kilometers around that volcano. That volcano is found in the middle of a giant caldera lake ( Taal Lake) which was once the guts of a giant volcano which blew in a giant eruption. The worst thing about Taal Lake and it's volcanic centerpiece is that the shoreline is practically populated with thousands of people living in dozens of villages and cities ringing around the lake. One large eruption and most of them can be wiped out --- either by a tsunami caused by the eruption, or by pyroclastic surges that can race across the lake surface.
