  • I was US Navy on active duty at Cubi Point and at the VC-5 duty desk for three days after Mt Pinatubo blew up. The relief supplies from the U.S, were great except that in some areas the food ended up being sold at the local outdoor markets in Olongapo. Maybe some people needed something other than rice. Or could it have been a few greedy politicians?

  • F-8!!! F-8!! STAY STILL!!!! NOOO!!!! HUHUHUHUHUHUHUU!!!!!! MAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAA!!!!!! HUHUHUHUHUU!!!

  • I was about 2 weeks old when it erupted. Luckily, my mom did a good job of protecting me from ash and soot. Over 20 years later, I'm watching this video for the first time.

  • 240p... we meet again

  • is this what made US. close there base ?

  • compared to the vesuvius 72 ad eruption and mt. st helens eruptions......how big was this compared to those eruptions????

  • @chickenporkasado

    It was bigger. St Helens and Vesuvius were 5 on the volcanic explosivity index, Pinatubo was a 6. (scale goes from 0 to 8).

  • WHEW!!! O_O BIg guy! 

  • I was 19 when it happened, I still remember the siren when Clark Air Base is in Full RED ALERT! so loud..!!! you will hear it all over Angeles City...Then suddenly a quiet morning at around 9am... I was infront of our terrace, then BOOM of mushroom clouds! call everyone to witness....then 2-3 days theres a major storm, and together with the major eruption... dark during days! no electrical power, then it rains ash, and thick and like 12-20 inches in height, you will hear roofs collapse, scarry!

  • Gods It's been ages sicne I've seen this. Have it on VHs but our VCR broke so I can;t watch it any more. I was four when this happened. Thank god my dad wasn;t stationed there when it blew.

  • this is in the phillipines?????

  • @narutonamikazuzamaki  Sorry 4 L8 response. 2answer ur question, YES. i am guessing u have/ or have access to a computer. Google is your friend. I am sorry to single you out -that being said, i can't understand how u could post such a question. May i suggest u set Google as ur homepage and when u have ?s like this, use the computer for what it does best? find &disseminate info. Even if u spell PhiLiPPines wrong, or PINATUBO, it will give u answers 2questions like this. God bless ya, GRASSHOPPER.

  • 3:15 great song!

  • june 12th 1991 still scared the crap outta me. I was north of the volcano in San Miguel.

  • i was there and 5 years old but still have flashbacks of what happened

  • wish i could have been alive at the time to witness such an event first-hand. the pictures and videos of the initial blast are beautiful yet, terrifying, and awe inspiring all at the same time.

  • 8:16 Look Left

  • Mt. Pinatubo will explode gotta haul my gatorade outtahere...

  • Wow! I was 10 when we evacuate. Soooooo scary leaving everything you own behind. The major earthquake we had the day before was terrible too. My C-130 father was left behind to hel evacuate. Thank God we made it out alive.

  • watching this sends me the chills.. i was 5 and still remember looking outside my balcony seeing the giant clouds, and at night time i thought i was done for. Olongapo city, P.I.

  • I lived there when i was really young.. I remeber the ash "snowing" down... CRAZy shit...live in the states now.. only reason i left...

  • 1:11 i love gatorade....

  • @ reggiesebree27 and BubuDaddy:

    pero di pa rin matatakasan ang bagsik ng kalikasan pag nagising ulit yan pagkalipas ng 400 years

  • Kudos to the base commander for evacuating the main populace. Good call.

  • 3:22: What a beautiful example of an eruption column!

  • I SURVIVED MT.PINATUBO. I WAS 13 YRS OLD LIVIN IN OLONGAPO CITY WHEN THE VOLCANO ERUPTED IT WAS A BAD EXPERIENCE FOR A LOT OF PPL.

  • please ask uk or france there for militry exrcises not us,philippines has a very big heart and all i see is how they have been used and left by the usa

  • The US is always asked. Lets see France or UK come to the rescue of a country with EVERY other struggling county asking for their help. They would be financialy and physically drained. If the US is so heartless, why are we always the ones asked for help? We aren't super heroes, we can only do so much. And you don't know what was running through people's minds then. Now it is viewed a mistake, but how did they know then? Looking back is ALWAYS easier than foward!

  • And, used and left.... why does the US, a world super power, need to drain ANYTHING from a 3rd world country?! Highest standard of living means we are doing pretty well over here. We don'tneed to drain others resources when we have plenty left here lol.

  • so if u doing so well were was the help re-building,super power the way i see the markets going china thats top what if they stoped loans to us?there was a time us lent to china now it has to borrow 1 struggling country u say you were there saver but in there time of need u ran hope you can see it as a mistake and learn

  • @nobby604 We don't know what was going through their minds back then, but you can't totally say that the US was TOTALLY heartless. They just evicted the US Airbase. The Filipino people, i think, are beyond America's jurisdiction. Or i don't know. Yes, PROBABLY they left us in Pinatubo, nevertheless, we still owe something to them. That is, them saving our ass from the Japs in WWII. They're not all heartless. Probably wrong move, but they've got their reasons. Forgive and forget. :)

  • @mkgamesdotnet US doesn't have the highest standard of living, not in the top 10 either

  • The USA decided to return to the second military base much further away from the volcano blast area, still it would take millions to renew the damage done.

    The phillippene government declined the permission to use the land hence why the USA completly left the Philippines.

  • @nobby604 Now you have Koreans running Angeles City Pampanga..LOL You think they are as humane as the Americans? bolong mo. Those people want the Americans back. The Americans are fighting muslims in Mindanao. Even after we kicked them out in '92. We still can't stand up and fight for ourselves. Then we pull our troops out of Afghanistan. What kind of crap is that? The Americans saved us in WWII. Anti-American Filipinos are either the NPA/Muslims or rich

    Filipinos. Not true Filipinos

  • @crookhunter you sir are very misinformed....

  • @jarvin21 How am I very misinformed? Unless you're going to point out how

    I'm misinformed don't bother making that ridiculous claim.. I live in Angeles and was there when Pinatubo erupted. I bet you don't even live in the P.I. asshat

  • there is no point arguing with you as you are the typical brain washed Filipino into kissing Uncle Sam's Ass, i should know this as i am a political science major. Yes, i do live in the Philippines, and it's so sad to see hypocrites like you in the streets

  • OH LORD, i cant believe i was there. evacuating as a 2 year old. hahahahaha

    i dont remember shit!! i wish i did. =(

  • walang masama sa pakikinig sa babala....

  • One of the reasons why Philippines can't progress. Natural disasters.

  • fuck you henrylakad.

  • hahaaha...

  • Maurice et Katia Krafft,R.I.P.

  • We should invite somebody else like France or U.K. or Russia for military exercises not U.S. again, for goodness sake.

  • I hate ur personality u cunt

  • The filipinos still thinks america really care about the welfare of filipnos, for goodness sake wake up pinoys they are only here because they want something from us and after that they will just destroy us again like what they did in U.S. Base.

  • well.. i think it's not true.. they still have big hearts like us.

  • My bestfriend's dad was a barangay chairman when he died because he tried saving one of the constituents, Mga AMERIKANO daw ang nagpasabog ng Pinatubo.

  • i was 8yrs old when this happen i live in manila the ash also reach the city i was all white its raining of ash

  • i was only 6 years old when this happen

  • i turned 5 when it erupted

  • i wasnt even born at that time... im only 13 right now.. iwas born in 1995, may XP

  • I was there. It was 5 and was one of the ones evacuted from that base. Scary times. Still remember it like yesterday. I'm 23 year olds now

  • Thanks for posting this video, I was 23 yr old then, I live 20 miles from the crater and have seen this folded in days. It was spectacular. The catastrophic aftermath still brings chill to my spine. I consider myself a survivor of the mudflow, 3 months after the first eruption our entire town is totally buried.

  • This was a great documentary, I'm glad to see it again. Thanks for posting.

  • nung nag explode yung Mt.Pinatubo nagkaroon ba ng earthquake?

  • F.Y.I Mt. Pinatubo is one of the Tourism Hot spot now..nwei the aftermath was much devastating than the eruptions itself coz of the mud slides wiping out over a dozens of towns and barrios many lives was loss,properties and dislocated families from nearby areas...Thank God and Bless the Kapampangan...Mabuhay Cabalen uling Matenakan tamu!

  • Those thick ashes where thrown high in the sky that it reached MANILA.serious.MABUHAY PILIPINAS!!!

  • I wont forget the erruption of pinatubo.I was just leave 10km from the volcano

  • Did any one die as a result of swimming and screwing around in that "pretty lake" which in effect has not bottom except a magma chamber and maybe a crust of Terra not so firma over it. Yes, lets turn a caustic chimney into Lake Powell! Goodie!. Lets go swimming and ultra lighting. Because I MUST!

  • And yes a tragedy is determined by how many died and if the cirumstances could have helped it.

    This isn't a real tragedy like the tsuanami, its a disaster that was mimized and we should be greatfull and more joyfull that so many were saved instead of grieving more over how many died. And In this case alot more survived than died.

  • Would he show as much jubilation if he had predicted the Tsunami of 2004, probably not.

    _____________________

    I would if people had heeded the warning and saved over 200thousand.

    For events like these, death is inevitable, to freak about 305 people dead when 300000 were saved is inapproiate and is negavitive! That is dishonerable and pesimisitic!

    Your acting as if he's a douchebag because he's positive instead of negative.

  • Oh to you fucking retards on this video, the ones talking about how a volcano is like a bomb and very sensitive... I know where you got your research from, and compared to the theories you belittle, yours is even MORE shaker.

    I'm going to post the source, Sciencitific america!!!

    THATS RIGHT.

    Guess what, thats a hypothothesis/ study!! Not even close to a theory. Its not even been tested.

    So, if I were you, I'd be pretty ashamed of yourselfs right now for saying you "Researched it."

  • I remember this,I got this on VHS! I love this video!!!!

  • Sorry, everyone--I always forget that a second post comes up on top of the first (so you don't know there's a part 1). Anyway, these posts are for UCSPanther, in response to one of HIS earlier opinions. You surely don't need to read all of my griping--if you're not UCP. I'm sure he (she?) won't pay attention to my input anyway. Alrighty then.

  • Isn't it great to have an anonymous outlet for all of our hate, prejudices, and stupidity? Some make more use of it than others. I only get like this when provoked by a nincompoop at the right (wrong?) moment. Then I allow my opinion to come on out, and...opinions are like a-holes. We all have them, and they all stink. I know that includes mine too, but sometimes we all hafta stink out loud. Sorry to everybody else! P.S. What a beautiful island (when not having volcano eruptions, of course).

  • WARNING: this is an attempt to insult UCSPanther in defense of so-called hippies. So, don't slog through this if you're not UCnothingPanther.

    Hey, UCSPanther...do you have a big sign that you carry that identifies you as an ignorant boob, or do people have to wait for a few words to come out of your mouth before it's obvious? Keep your prejudicial assumptions to yourself. Please. And--surprise! I have more opinions in the following post! :)

  • i remember these volcanic eruption though i was just 4 yrs old that time, we had to evacuate to a safer place coz we're in danger.. but now, Mt. Pinatubo is one of the tourist spots in our place.. Maybe the volcano is trying to make peace of the damages it had brought to us..

  • was there a hog carnival in 1992? ;) i miss my american chiks :(

  • Douche bag moment at 3:45-4:05. People died and this guy is happy? Shows how insensitive some people are.

  • Logically, he should be. Think for a second, imagine if this volcano didn't erupt for 2 months. Then the people foolishly disregard the next warning for a eruption. And the volcano does erupt. Thats 3000 to 50000 times worse than the deaths caused by this whole entire eruption thanks to the efforts.

    Plus it's a huge leap forward to find more signs to predict a new eruption.

  • He did not show any sympathy whatsoever. Did you see any? Would he show as much jubilation if he had predicted the Tsunami of 2004, probably not. That's why it's wrong. When has it become acceptable that tragedy is determined by who, where, and how many. The bottom line is that people perished during that eruption.

  • You might do well to read Dick Thompson's book "Volcano Cowboys", which describes the USGS collaboration in monitoring efforts at Mount St Helens, Nevado del Ruiz, Pinatubo and a host of others.

    The guy in question knew how delicate the political situation was, and that the US should have been pulling back from the Philippines instead of increasing their presence. To stuff the prediction and disrupt the lives of so many Filipinos unnecessarily

    would have been very bad for the USGS.

  • The USGS got it's fingers burnt when a warning notice indicating increased unrest at Long Valley Caldera in California, was seen as a bit of post-Mount St Helens hysteria. There were death threats mailed to volcanologists.

    I cannot really blame Dave Harlow for being relieved that the USGS and PHIVOLCS got this one right. I imagine it would have been a huge loss of face to stuff it up.

  • i can't stop laughing about dione55 hahahahahahahahaha!

  • I'm a Filipino. But they are right. I've done some research before I post this comment here.

    Dlone, what you are saying is true...but i can say it's less than 1 percent true.

    you have to mine more or less than a hundred kilometers downwards to trigger it.

    plus the fact that mt. Pinatubo is a volcano, which erupts...

    I'm not going against Filipinos here but Dlone55, you're stupid enough to make accusations like that....

  • there was a possibility that the earthquake in july 10,1990 has cracked sensitive sands on the mouth of volcano. and there was also possibility that there was an actual studies on the mouth of pinatubo which the mountain eased to clott a volcanic damages.. means the volcano experts has done something wrong at the volcano in person from those days.. volcano is a sensitive thing on earth. touch something, then something was like a bomb :)

  • they was actually hapyy about it????????

    Vortexer123 was right!?!!!

    they are morons

  • Yeah!! these Americans are morons!!!

  • parehas lang.. magmula ng mawala ang mga kano. naparami rin lalo ang mga dayuhan sa ating bansa eh. wala rin nangyari. tsaka noong panahon na iyon kahit di ka mag-abroad ay kumikita ka na rin sa kanila.. na para bang nasa abroad ka na rin pag pasok mo sa clark na may naghihintay sa iyo ng trabaho. goodluck kabayan ko. wag na lang tayo magalit sa mga kano. wala rin namang asenso ang bansa natin eh. ingat sa mga nagmumura sa iyo dito :)

  • Stupid idiot is happy that the volcano erupted. shameon you idiot!!! People died and you are celebrating because your prediction turned out to be right. You should have wished that it was wrong. Moron!!!

  • Mining caused this pyroclastic, multiple stratospheric event eruption? Please stop posting before you embarass yourself even further, dtone55. Mining activity could not cause a fissure to vent mantle pressure. It's not possible, the physics just can't happen. And if what you say is true, the mining would have relieved the pressure from the dome and the eruption would have never happened, and even then, they would have had to mine roughly 75% of the material from the mountain for that to occur

  • yeah remember that one. I didn't remember about it in the news. just after wards. we were like at school while the first earthquake began then the next day was like ashes everywhere. it took like more than a month and the rain helps with washing it away. The bad part is most of the rivers got covered with ashes and we had to water plants with muddy ashes stuff. that time you cant forget since you have after shock for quite a while.

  • These Americans are responsible for the eruption, They dig deep in that mountain to search for mines. And they just left the natives there to die, while they run away from the disaster!!!

  • The Americans are responsible for the Eruption?!!

    This comment is the most rediculous and funniest conspiracy theory I have read yet!

  • It's not a theory man, it's the truth!!!

  • You want to know what causes volcanic Eruptions?

    Well, I'll tell you. Most are caused by plate techtonics, where the plates in the earth's crust either pull apart or subduct under each other. Mount Pinatubo is one of those subduction volcanoes.

    Others, such as Hawaii and Yellowstone, are caused by mantle plumes, or hotspots.

  • Your theories are fictional, what i am saying is the truth that happens!!!You must not praise those coward Americans, For they are are reaping what they sow to other nations!!! Funkhead!!!!

  • Well then, you tell me how the Americans cause Volcanic eruptions.

  • And I suppose that you'll also blame the Toba Eruption over 100 000 years ago on the US as well...

  • You cannot twist truth from theories hippie, I only blame those coward Americans like you, to the Pinatubo disaster, cause there are so many people died there because of their greediness and stupidity.

  • First off, your definition of hippie is way off. Hippies are granola crunching, dope smoking dimwits who HATE america, not love it, so I'll let it slide (get it? slide!).

    If a cinder cone were to erupt under your house tomorrow, you would probably blame it on the Americans.

    You better shut up, before you make a bigger fool of yourself than you have already.

  • we can't blame other people who run from the volcano. we'nt have any much stronger than a one life to catch all those stones 'thrown by the volcano. but also, i believe that all volcanoes on earth were the most sensitive creation.. there are so sensitive sands on it. there are some parts on the mouth of the volcano w/c easily sensitive.. we can't do what things to make from mind, just to pursue some studies personally 'and let know something on how this mountain worksout on earth.

  • americans are coward!!!

  • It's not cowardly to run from a volcano. It's smart.

  • Hey dlone55:

    What does that have to do with the price of andesite at Pinatubo?

  • I was 13 years old back then and I can still exactly remember how it all happened... Scary and a little bit excited as a young boy, the earth shakes every few minutes the night after it errupted. Thanks for posting this video...

  • does it erupted again??? people in the philippines are doom

  • mount pinatubo is very nice now

  • @reggiesebree27 LAKE Pinatubo

  • last year my uncle swam at mount pinatubo its like beach

  • man... to bad for the people living in zambales...

  • the eruption of mt Pinatubo was so strong that the sound wave was directed up

    silence!

  • oi naku ma lakeh ng anger sha

  • my dad saw it and my mom and my 2 sisters. i wasnt born yet. they lived really closed to the volcano:O in capas

  • VOLCANOES ARE SCARY!!! D:

  • Mt.Pinatubo is my most favorite volcano in the Philippines. I also live in the Philippines

  • same

  • That thing is so freaky! Its huge!

  • Not as large as some of the others that have occured in earth's history though.

    The largest that has occured in Earth's history is the VEI 8, where Mount Pinatubo was a VEI 6.

  • Good job,UCSPanther

  • Thanks.

    I'm interested in Vulcanology. It can terrifying at how much damage volcanoes can do to both people and the natural world, but also amazing how volcanic soil can be such great farmland and can support unique ecosystems.

    In fact, Southern Idaho is known for its potatoes, thanks to the volcanic soil from the Yellowstone hotspot millions of years ago, when it was in Idaho.

  • That's one of the funny things about disasters, UCSPanther. Although most people only think of the horrors of disasters, they are necessary for the Earth to be as it is. If it wasn't for plate movement and earthquakes, there would be no mountains. If not for volcanoes, there would be no Hawaii.

    Tornadoes cool down the air, hurricanes bring rain. Lightning provides nitrogen for the ground. Meteors are the reason the mammals were able to replace the dinosaurs.

  • That is true too. In fact, the fertile potato fields of southern Idaho were made possible by the cataclysmic eruptions in the distant past by the Yellowstone hotspot when it was under Idaho.

    Volcanic soil is often known as excellent farmland because of all the minerals contained within.

  • Biggest one ever was in Colorado some 40 million years ago.

    About 5,000 cubic kilometers of volcanic material was shot out.

  • That was the La Garita Caldera.

  • i was about to enter the prep school on the first "throat-clearing" eruption..the prep school that would be buried in the next days.

  • i believe i was 9 when mount pinatubo erupted. i remember i had to hide in the pigs cage and stayed there until the eruption was done. nxt thing i knew it stopped and everything was all dusty and white.

  • I wasn't around when Mount St Helens in the USA blew (It was about half the size of Pinatubo, but did some severe damage), but my parents who were in Southern British Columbia did say that some light dust from that blast found its way North.

    I have also read that the 1912 eruption of Novarupta (slightly larger than Pinatubo) in Alaska did cover buildings and the surrounding area in about a foot of dust

  • yeah me too i was there when it erupted

  • because of this eruption from being in the philippines where I was born, I was forced to leave the rest of my family to and go to guam then hawaii then last washington state. never thoguth I would end up here. anyone out here that was there at the time, let me know, I would like to talk about the moment when my life was changed due to pinatubo.

  • I was there ,when it erupted I think it was on my 13th birthday .I remember trying to hide in the closet cause I didn't want to leave but my dad was making us leave .I went to Guam then to Washington then to Cali.This story always make's me cry since I haven't been back home since 1997 and I will never forget the look on my aunt's face she was crying so hard and it broke my heart .This event change my life.

  • I totally see where your coming from, I was 12 when this happened and ever since then I havent seen my grandparents then few years ago my grampay past, so the last memories I got of them was when we were evacuated to guam from the air force.

  • I came back in 1997 but I went to Surigao but it's been almost 10 yrs since I been back i miss PI.

  • Man I this is where I was born. I moved 9months later to the US becuz of this volcano and same with the rest of family :s. It would have been nice to at least grow up to have some memories there.

  • i was 12 when this happened.. i remember it was noon when it turned so dark and it started raining ash... the next day there was about 2 feet of ash everywhere...

  • why was my comment removed? i posted the truth! I was there!

  • i might have accidentally removed it when i was weeding out spam comments.

  • Look at about 538 in the video, near the top center of the vid, youll see a flash of lightning from the ash.

  • When he said "it was at 65 on our scope"....thats 65k FEET!

  • I used to have this show on tape, very good show.

  • naalala ko pa non i was 8 yrs of age nong pumotok pinatubo.lahat ng bahay at tanim namin inagos ng lava.yung lolo ko nag iisang sorvivor na naka uwingbuhay kayalang kalahating katawan nya nasunog ng dahi sa init.

  • i still remmember this shit nasa pampanga me non grade 1 pa ako non !!! pambihirang pinatubo

  • in the movie "An Officer and a Gentelman" starring Richard Gere, there's a small scene there of subic bay naval station at the beginning of the movie. it's a good movie check it out if u're interested.

  • yah, i am only 1 yr old hehehehe in manila

    but now i am here ata zamboanga hehehe

  • i've watched this before... it really amazed me! i was only months old when mt. pinatubo errupted, so i don't have any idea what exactly happened that time... my family was in manila by that time and they said that it was so scary because the day become a dark night for them..

  • Yeah and its 60 000 years overdue, it would economically cripple the united states and kill 1 million people in less than an hour. supervolcano.

  • There is no evidence that it is 60 000 years overdue, it has only erupted three or four times and only the last two were 600 000 years apart. Its been 660 000 years since the last one but no mathematician would accept that as evidence. Best bet is sometime in the next 500 - 50 000 years.

  • The next biggest volcano eruption would be Yellowstone.

  • A Yellowstone eruption would be two orders of magnitude or 100x stronger than Pinatubo.

  • I was a Navy Broadcast5 Journalist working at FEN stationed at Subic Bay during this event. As soon as the dust cleared, I was out with our camera taking video of the damage. From the time of the first eruption until it was over, we counted over 150 major earthquakes that shook our whole building....was the most frightened I've ever been in my life. I love the PI...its like a second home to me, but I could do without any more volcanoes...once was enough

  • Now I know what my wife and her 3 son's went through,I have visited the clark area on many occaissions since 2000,and before this with my previouse wife.

  • This eruption happened so fast there was no sound to be heard, the pyroclastic flows (flows of superheated gas and ash) so immense it covered an area larger than Singapore, and caused the moon to become blue (due to sulphur i n the air) when I was born in November of that year (1991, and I was in Sarawak, Malaysia, just a mere 200 miles away on Borneo)

  • most powerful explosion of the century... 20x more powerful than the hiroshima bomb

  • The Mt. Pinatubo Explosion was not the biggest volcanic explosion in in the 20th century. 1912s Novarupta in Alaska was bigger.

    How do you convert VEI into TnT Equivalent? I doubt the Pinatubo eruption was only 20 times stronger than Hiroshimas Fat Man. After all the Tsar Bomb was more than 2000 times stronger than the Fat Man.

  • 100/10 *sighs* what a very good upload, thank for that. Looking back, it's just so horrible. To stay there in ur own home and all my families could do is pray that the river doesn't fall over to those mud waters. Our house was about 1 mile away. But thank goodness they move out in 2007. Geez, being a survivor and relive that nightmare everyday. Well it was a very touching video but not compared anything to the real one. Thank you again.

  • 100/10 tnx for the upload, being a survivor from Mt Pinatubo is a very sad moment for us filipinos. I still can't believe how strong my country is and how much they would still live there and long live the Philippines and Clark Air Force Base!!!

  • i was born there a month earlier hah this is cool

  • Volcano eruption and typhoon at the same time. Wow! Mother nature can sometimes be unforgiving.

  • Equal to thousands of nuclear bombs! Nature is very powerful and you need to get out of the way when it farts.

  • Mount Pinatubo was huge, it decrease the global temperature with it's blanket of dust in the atmosphere.

  • the biggest volcano erruption of the CENTUTRY!!!!!

    it was very scary!!! i was there!!!!!!!!!!

  • it reminds me something u know wen pinatubo erupt makikita mo lahat ang mga tao nagtulong tulong at makikita mo ang pagmahahalan ng bawat pilipino wow!!!

  • after that eruption, megadike was constructed. it cost a lot but it was substandard. i sincerely pray to god that the corrupt officials involved in that should go to hell and be perpetually stuck the process of castration

  • its probably the same crooks who tried to extort millions more from the U.S. to continue the base agreement that of course was a major factor  (other then pinatubo) in the U.S. pulling out.

    I miss it and left in '89. Doubt I will ever go back. The greatest assignment in the USAF.

  • with all due respect, US base should be removed from the philippines. i see it as an invasion of our sovereignity, although i am sympathetic of the filipinos who lost their jobs after the pull out. moreover, China invading philippines is very very unlikely. (and calif is good, my gf is there lol)

  • i really felt sad of that erruption.king metng mung aldo kasi milako ya tuknangan mi.kanyamn pamo king province me.ngeni puro namu lahar.amimisss ku ne bario mi.

  • There is a ROD at 9:30!!!!

  • PLEASE WATCH hog CARNIVAL AT CLARK 1989. A LOT OF MEMORIES IN RETURN :)

  • if pinatubo wasn't there.. i think SM supermall isn't still there at clark :)

  • 2:20 gives me the chill

  • don't care

  • did your parents have any children that lived ?

  • happy birthday on june 10 :)  hey pinatubo!

  • I so remember this! I was in the 2nd grade yet I remember EVERYTHING like it was yesterday.

  • I was 14 years old when this volcano erupted. I remember during the month when it erupted, the ashes reached Travis Air Force Base, California. Every morning I would wake up and find thin layers of ashes covering my parents and neighbor's vehicles.
