pyroclastic flows at volcano etna

[luberoon]

4 sum reasn, an ice cube song led me to dis

[anthonyvaca]

@luberoon there are pyroclastic flows but they are very rare they happen each year,(just info on it) it can reach up to speeds 100 mph not even a car can out run it and is as hot as 1,300 F so you guys be careful when close to volcanos beacause volcanos are the main cause of pyroclastic flows,there is a town in 856ad that got flattend by pyroclastic flow since the ash around the people hardened you could still see the bodies on the ground

[marcszeglat]

yes, at the first part of the clip you see lavaflowes... at the and you can see hot debris avalanches and small pf´s. maximal runout distance of the pf´s was about 800 m.

[TitzeDitze]

there are NO pyroclastic flows! its just lava....

[DDOKU]

Where is pyroclastic fows?i can't find...

[DunWannaTellMyName]

@DDOKU its this air of ash and other harmful gasses....

[markhandley1]

This is a great volcano to watch and learn from because its reasonably predictable. Great clip

[UnionMetalhead]

im quite surprised that etna produced a pyroclastic flow but i believe that all volcanoes have the potential for pyroclastic content, even basaltic - but theyre more rare, such as hawai and iceland, but they still produce them in some eruptions. water mixing and evading magma can turn a basaltic eruption into a pyroclastic flow (if i remember that correctly) - water based caldera's are common for them. I know hawai produces some tsunami's due to volcanic content but not on a regular basis.

[lapalissiano]

at 3:00 it's a little pyroclastic flow. at 2:20 it's an hot avalanche

[lapalissiano]

@lapalissiano and the film-maker was really lucky! it's very rare on etna!

[hhamaildk]

This is not a pyroclastic flow!! The smoke does not flow down the mountain side but keep ascending in the air.

[dhirun4]

what is that noise

[masterquadbiker]

@dhirun4 all the hot gases in the magma chamber escaping out of the openings which is also forcing lava up

[IsCumaFut2]

it reminds me of a smelt

[randrboy]

Starting from 2:54 on is when I start seeing the pyroclastic flows you are referring to. Good video shot if this was done by yourself

[bungcisco]

Haha that is a lava flow.

[thekillshootable]

yeah its just a lava flow

[SkooterBush]

pyroclastic flows? i didn't see any pyroclastic flows. i bet you didn't even film this and got it from national geographic instead.

[davidhilton]

@SkooterBush There are definitely pyroclastic flows. They start @ 2:54.

[SkooterBush]

@davidhilton o ok. thanks man.

[codirichard532]

uhmbin total ungezogen heute! wer hat lust zu chatten oder camen

[Yumminess0]

3:00 is not a pyroclastic flow. Want to see a real one? Google video search "pyroclastic flow -911". We have to make sure 9/11 isn't in the results, because if it is, you just get 9/11 conspiracy videos.

[simsun2]

I stand corrected........

[lacayo159]

Incredible!

[ThePieman1234567890]

not pyroclastic flows

[ogschizo]

Watch the whole thing.

[ViragoJenny]

Wow, great video! Unbelievable I stay at the top 2 years ago :-) Was a little earthquake 1 day before, but no lava flow. But a lot of smoke and gas in the air. Was a great experience for me!

[slouchydragon]

Great footage. Good work marcszeglat

[hitheresunshine]

Wow, at the beginning, it sounded like the heartbeat of the earth. =D Earth is so amazing. <3

[simsun2]

Its IS possible for Mt etna to have a pyroclastic flow BUT those videos of low silica based lavas did NOT come from etna, etna has very hig silica based lave which means its very thick and sticky, so builds up inside the volcaneo causing it erupt on a massive scale. Other examples of High silica based lavas is Mt st Helens.

[Vinnygotnoodles]

True

[thefatkid77]

After 3:00 you can tell it is pyroclastic.

[jbblake85]

whats with the first half of hte video?? its just an effusive lava flow out of somewhere like hawaii? doesnt even look like the same locale

[fashionista0101]

the perfect place to let the mother of ur wife.............

[CreativeStep]

It's all so sexy, makes me want to erupt ;x

[tacticalxd45]

LOL.That just sounds so "HOT".Get it "HOT"?.hahaha.I hope youre a sexy chick saying something like that

[BLITZskate]

scary OMG!

[frizba]

frodo throw the ring!!!!

[stormracer33]

At the beginning its a mudflow or a lahar.

[marcszeglat]

wow people, i am a volcanologist and i know what i filmed!

[876234ABC]

@marcszeglat WOW...you filmed this? It's incredible work! Very impressive, very well done!

[outlawcountryman]

@stormracer33 hey dude umm uhh you wanna find out if its mud? go touch it, i mean its only 1100 degrees centigrate plus

[fataldisas]

1:24 that looks HOT!

[xazzion]

look at the fire clouds :o

[unknown6473]

a pyroclastic flow has to look more grayish

[akkermansbert]

haha indeed u guys this is not a pyroclastic flow :) this is basaltic lava

(had to do an examanition bout that couple of days ago..)

[marcszeglat]

mt. etna produced 2 real pyroclastic flows during this euptive episode, instead this is basaltic lava! what you see on this video are a mixture between grainflows an pyroclastic flows. may it´s more correct to speak about base surges than from pyroclasitc flows, but who knows this?

[dadgadify]

looks like a pyroclastic flow to me 2:22

[futty08]

,, The strit of fire"

[loscantos]

this is more likely a vulcanian eruption creating stratovolcanos: mixed emission of lavas and pyroclasts

[kardinalsins]

That's not a pyroclastic flow. It's an eruption of fairly viscous, gaseous basaltic magma. It MAY HAVE produced a Plinian Column, but not one hot enough, or large enough to collapse on itself to create a pyroclastic display. If you want to see a pyroclastic flow find a video of St. Helens erupting.

[eclectricute]

From about 2:55 to 3:50 is a small pyroclastic flow.

[Nagzash]

There ARE pyroclastic flows - just not huge ass ones like in truly explosive volcanoes.

Plus i bet it's mainly ash so it doesn't races the slopes of the volcano.

[lafanadejump]

... ... ...

That's no a flow of gaz, but a flow of lava... Who want marshmallow! XD

[XxTaylor88xX]

1:24-1:51 is so beautiful.

[Bribickhed6]

that definetly no a pyrclastic flow

[VRLO]

Sorry, I didn't reckon you were a volcanologist?

You are just taught of certain pyroclastic flows.

It can occur in many different forms.

[BenMcCormack91]

Something tells me you probably shouldn't try to eat that stuff.

[celliddruid]

dip ur nuts in that lava

[Skater10497]

oww no

[dergin38467]

ill cut my own guts out with a knife before i do that

[marvinwoodyhughes]

ummm OMG?

[loves2fingerslam]

facelessred - AKA fucking douche.

[pbaylis1]

Those aren't pyroclastic flows. Those are lava flows. Pyroclastic flows are the billowing grey superheated cloud masses that race down the mountain at like a 1000 miles an hour.

[brennuvargr]

Actually, there are pyroclastic flows near the end of the video...

[facelessred]

most of this is lava shots yes, but for those saying their are no pyroclastic flows, you are incorrect.alot of the zoomed out shots show pyroclastic flows (the smoke tumbling down the mountain)

[gggreggg]

yes, this is a lava flowm, not a pyroclastic event.

[phillysportz3]

Dr. LeFemina is a god among men...Rock On!

[lurvlyfx]

volcanos are amazing! , wouldnt like to be stuck in a situation with one though!

[kitiecannon]

Depends on the viscosity really. By the looks of this eruption, it must be Pahoehoe lava.

[TheRatMaster]

arent pyroclastic flows supposed to go at least 160kph????

[grobaniteforever]

yes. This not pyroclastic flows it is just lava

[TimtoMaersk]

Whooww, what crazy guy filmed this? Very cool... :)

[MascaraCT46]

Catania The Best

[weRollin26s]

imajin if some big fukin monster poped out of a volcanoe one day,or if there was evidence of an organism that lived in volcanoes

[gudgioni]

Theres lots of evidence some creatures are from volcanos

[weRollin26s]

pretty cool

[clemsondux17]

it says "small" pyroclastic flows. not GIGANTIC OVERWHELMING ones

at least he translated it for you guys

[jjsjucnjdkfgoaec]

loool yea

[wolveswitch]

shows only lava flows there is no pyroclastic flows in this video

[Rotorboi767]

no pyroclastic cloud in this video just smoke

[Rubenaxo000]

Fluxo Piroplastico.

[ixLovexDaneCookx]

thats so cool, hate to be running from a pyroclastic flow!!!!!

[Ciuperciuc]

Whatever it is, its keeping us alive as we speak.

[ocmc32]

dis would be a good lava clip

but it is no pyroclastic flows in dis :S

[PilotOfNorway91]

Shouldn't the camera man be running?? oO

[davidsquall351]

breathtaking!

[cutepoisonUK]

Awesome video! Thanks.

[mybirdspot]

erm... a pyroclastic flow is a avalanche of hot rock in a cloud raceing down a volcano burning everything in its path. not lava O.O

[lapalissiano]

not true. between minutes 3:00 and 4:00 there's a little pyroclastic flow coming down from the top of the volcano on the left side of the video..

[CaptainGloumi]

you didn't watch the end of the clip

[ocmc32]

exactly!

good point mybirdspot. cheers - u just saved me from watching da rest of dis LAVA clip

[geodin56]

Straordinario l'Etna.

[CrimsonPhantom88]

Wow, I wouldn't get anywhere near that thing! Countless photographers and geologists have been killed by sudden pyroclatic flows...I'm glad I live thousands of kilometres from any volcanoes.

[evilstig2]

countless, like what? 30?

[OPOCHKA]

Thanks for not polluting this video with any " Music "

[GoRideaMTN]

AUSGEZEICHNET! AM BESTEN, N

UR FILM, KEINE WORTE! ES IST NICHT EINMAL NÖTIG!

DANKE MEHRMALS marcszeglat

[natsucat]

great,interesting

[kindofmagicmike]

isnt etna an insurance company?

[mellotrongirl]

I'm left absolutely speechless...even better than any Kilauea footage I've seen recently...which is mostly flows and fountaining but spectacular nonetheless!

[cheezyleezy]

man i have a prject on volcanoes and this is marvelous!..beaty..

[silvo70]

Mt. Etna is marvelous, these exceptional images show it in superb beauty.

[minneiroo]

Belas imagens...

São Paulo, Brasil

[dgillagorilla]

Awesome footage! Absolute brain-candy for any budding geologist. Thank you.

[CrossCorvetteZ06]

yup awesome video you got here...

[VirgiltheDarkSlayer]

Very beautiful video...

[Symphyla]

love the hissing sound. Lava, liquid and solid, always reminds me of an open wound

[Lolmaster6]

very good video

[winfplatero]

impresionante vista, saludos desde Chile

[RKBrockstheworld]

and to think they used to throw people in these things as sacrifices...one lottery i wouldnt to play..great video ..i love it

[vazo555]

wen the camera guy zooms out @ the end itz like ''WOOOW'' :)

[hreader]

Liked all the footage especially the hornitos, and the pyroclastic flow near the end. I'll remember next time I'm there that Etna actually generates pyroclastic flows, and be on my guard! After all it was one of these which killed the Kraffts. And one of my stills (November 11th 2002 Etna South) shows an ash cloud hanging v near the ground. Hmmm...
