Spectacular footage from above the volcanic crater

[temujinSage]

manifestation at its best, if you have the faith of a mustard seed, you can move mountains. i sat with two others 3 years before this eruption and planned out the exact date for this eruption. so beautiful

[str8out]

What kind of sad twisted life would someone would have to have in order to dislike such amazing vid. Another proof hater will never be wiped from you.

[CuteMcBeauty]

Is it just me or am I sick or wtf... I find this awe inspiring and amazing and beautiful!!!

[Kawummz]

wow why there are thunderlightnings in there?????

wieso sind da blitze drin?

[CuteMcBeauty]

@Kawummz Friction generated by the massive amounts of ash generates static energy... static generates lightning. Sale effect that happens in regular storms. >Friction-Static- Electricity.

[iloveketchup20]

@Kawummz heat+cold=lighting

[gulfwelder]

HURRY America!! print some more money and lets send them some..... Idiots..

[masterquadbiker]

this is freakin epic

That was amazing to watch

kudos to the guys in the helicopter

[umagigi]

the guys got guts

[sreckolica]

unbelievable we are not aware of the powers of mother nature if she wants she can kill us all in just 1 day

[aznboyz345]

wtf were the lightning came from .. i never heard of that volcano eruption and then lightning occur ... tell me people !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[riqisinna]

@aznboyz345 it's magic!!!

[riotztarter]

@aznboyz345 static electricity from the ash.

[winterstellar]

@aznboyz345 Apparently it is common..even in the Vesuvus-eruption that buried Pompeii they told of lots of lightnings in the black smoke. Normal lightning get their power from friction between ice/hail in the thunder clouds, maybe these get the power from friction between ash/lava particles?: )

[digitalmedia4macao]

@aznboyz345

Static electricity comes from the dust and ash in the atmosphere. This effect can be seen in the footage from St. Helens in the US, Indonesia, Fuji and every other ash volcano in history. These charged clouds of ash can knock out power grids and radio miles away.

It is intense. What you are seeing is very real and extremely dangerous!!

[masterquadbiker]

@digitalmedia4macao im still wondering how the static charge effect of the ash didnt disable the helicopter

[oyrp70]

@masterquadbiker Because the helicopter is a mile+ away from it? The lightning would have to actually hit the helicopter to have a chance of disabling it, and aircraft actually tend to be pretty resilient to lightning strikes because the charge flows around the metal fuselage.

[aznboyz345]

that how earth fart!

[artyfarty3]

brave pilot to fly so close when it all could go up in a blink of an eye ... wow! amazing power ....

[SamMitchell90]

Remember guys, that was only a VEI 4 eruption, and only just managed to become a VEI 4 eruption.

Imagine a large Katla eruption and it's ash column :)

[effects69]

Amazing. And I had no idea it could cause lightning.

[SLOVENSKOOOO1]

omfg sooooooo amazing

[karjala55]

@_@

[watermelonorange]

motha natcha

[highinthesky231]

wow spectactular video footage it is the so bueytifull yet so deadly and power full at the same time this is why we should treat nature with respect Cause we dont own it it OWNS us

[SuperBeverboy]

bloody icelandic bums , all they do is cause trouble

[q8lightning]

Can someone tell me how the lightning's are occuring inside the volcano?

[madskillz1o1]

@q8lightning

When the higher levels of the atmosphere are cooler, and the surface is warmed to extreme temperatures due to a wildfire, volcano, etc, convection will occur, and the convection produces lightning.

Copied from wikipedia after 20 seconds of searching. Use wikipedia if you want to know stuff like this.

[doaflipcunt]

@madskillz1o1 your pretty cool, what are you fucking youtube police man? what gives you the right to tell him where to look for information in the future? fucking arrogant little bastard

[madskillz1o1]

@doaflipcunt

Maybe so he doesn't have to ask questions on youtube and bother others ? You fucking piece of shit, I helped him help himself and here you are calling me an arrogant bastard.

Understand this: he asked a question, I answered it, and told him where to look for information like that next time. You're a fucking pathetic whiny little bitch, your parents did a shit job raising you and you're an idiot like no other. Fucking prick.

[madskillz1o1]

@madskillz1o1 And by the way, it's YOU'RE not YOUR, fucking 5-year-old.

[doaflipcunt]

@madskillz1o1 hahaha chill bro, chill :)

[madskillz1o1]

@doaflipcunt I was chill before you wrote your comment.

[dorogan]

@madskillz1o1

Boom, Headshot, kudos to you my friend

[FortunexenutroF]

@q8lightning Lightning is caused by friction (between air molecules and whatnot) generating static electricity in the atmosphere... That much convection in a small (relatively) area creates a lot of air movement, and therefore a lot of static electricity.

[junkacc11]

Katla about to blow!!!!

[videovadeo]

very impressed with a lightnings! 

[nickblaze420]

Simply amazing

[overban888]

[madeofmoney1995]

iceland is builded on a vulkan

iceland=vulkan

[overban888]

@madeofmoney1995 yes and fireland=waterfall

[BirgirZ]

each one of those peaces is about the size of a truck

[misham786]

up in the air

[danafcbrule]

Lava can't fly through the air though! It spews, it doesn't fly!

[ty63t0]

Being so close to the volcano with a chopper is extremely dangerous even when the wind blows in the opposite direction cuz flying lava can still hit the helicopter

[aksekant]

arre yaar! yeh log kuch jyada hi prakarti se panga lete hai.

mazza to tab ata jab urrankhatola(helicopter) just got bammed in the debris, would have known what they are doing really, is not that brave.

They need to be more careful when shooting such ecstatic beauty of nature.

[bluechipist]

yea sab allha ka aazab hai ok jo burey kaam karte hai to aise hi hota hai so just pray to god ke hum sabko yea aazab se dur rakhey ameen....so pls save us

[ABombs1]

[bimpebe]

THE ULTIMATE ORGASM

[joezetank]

@bimpebe Really? that's what you think of when you see a volcano errupting? Immature little boy

[azandhind4eva]

really brave...

[dilan4me]

i didnt know a volcan can create lightning like that

[frederic129]

@dilan4me

the debris hit together and creates static eletricity which creates lightning!!!! :}

[tenzvideos]

Can't we put a cork on it?

[TheLfwjo]

@tenzvideos No, we just need a small stick! Hehehe!

[lensleader]

@tenzvideos hahaha

[ShadowFury95]

@tenzvideos yeah..but then the whole planet would explode...

[jimmywtseng]

this scene is weird, it's just weird........ damn creepy!!

[darkostarkeith]

I wonder what the carbon footprint on that thing is. :)

[MaxSafeheaD]

@darkostarkeith

fortunately the aerosols volcanoes emit counteract the 'greenhouse' gasses.

i blame this volcano on obama

[johnr1031]

when i saw this i thought "now i see why people used to see volcanoes and they would think a god did this"

[Grundalizer]

WTF that's extreme, I never knew LIGHTNING happened in the ash cloud that's insane

[GreyWolfEyes1222]

wow

[manonmercy]

@Hikk0 The norris jokes just dont die :P

[llamafication]

holy damn, this is a crazy planet we live in. i feel very mortal.

[LetReasonPrevail1]

This is undeniable proof that god is pissed off because people aren't contributing enough of their money to his church. I'm mean god has got a huge posse to support along with lots of child molestation lawsuits to pay off, so y'all better dig into your wallets and cough up the money lest god rip open a few more volcanos and smoke your asses! LOL!

[EnigmaticUnseen]

@LetReasonPrevail1 And preach as you go, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You recieved without paying, give without pay.

[LetReasonPrevail1]

@EnigmaticUnseen Thanks for the response.

I must say your moniker "Enigmatic" is quite fitting since your comment is of a very arcane nature. Puzzling & crytic. Care to elucidate and / or clarify?

[EnigmaticUnseen]

@LetReasonPrevail1 It is merely something that a wise man once explained to me. The basic point is, give back to the world equally that which you have earned as charity.

I do not wish to debate on this concept though. I want to go watch a movie. ^_^

[LetReasonPrevail1]

@EnigmaticUnseen Thanks for the clarification, but now I recognize the quote. It is from the bible's book of Mathew 10:8 & was supposedly said by Jesus to the disciples. He is telling them to evangelize to the non-believers & to do so by performing miracles. This scripture is the source of all those lovely benny hinn-like evangelical preachers who go around miraculously "healing" people & then asking for donations.

[EnigmaticUnseen]

@LetReasonPrevail1 Ahh. I do see what you mean there. I however, do not believe in doing a favor for someone then asking for a reward.

A good example would be from perhaps the film Pay It Forward.

Doing tasks that are for the benefit of others and expecting them to pay you back defeats the purpose me thinks.

[LetReasonPrevail1]

@EnigmaticUnseen Brother, I couldn't agree more. A favor isn't actually a favor if something is expected in return. Not too many people in this world get that.

[LetReasonPrevail1]

@EnigmaticUnseen I related concept is true friendship. In my opinion, a true friend is someone who has no agenda towards you other than to be interested in you as a person. They don't want to sell you something, don't want to get something from you, and don't want to convert you. They just want to be your bud. Not too many people understand this concept either I'm afraid to say. I guess that's why I've heard it said that in general you can count your true friends on one hand.

[LetReasonPrevail1]

@EnigmaticUnseen Its worth noting that a few verses later jesus is reported to have also told the disciples that the message they would tell the people would tear families apart & any town that didnt accept the message would be damned for all eternity worse than sodom & Gomorrah

Not sure if this matches up to what you were told this quote means. Cheers.

[pplkillppl]

@EnigmaticUnseen Are you saying that when i get to heaven I become a Robin Hood/ Merlin dude?

[aqualad22]

who the heck named that volcano?!?!?!

[samhainaz]

How long do these eruptions last?

[rhun664]

what causes the lightning?

[florencelovme]

@rhun664 yeah, if you find out plz let me know too

[mortalfrog007]

@rhun664 ash and rocks are crashing together and loading up with energy. it's the same when you rub cotton and wool on oneanother, when it's dark you can also see lightnings...

[proeatr16]

No, that's chuck norris fighting satan. Get real folks.

[goomloom123]

its not the volcano its just hollow ichigo beating the crap out of ulquiorra

[allergic2kryptonite]

Al Gore's new book "Global Volcano Warming" is out.

[americanidol504]

@allergic2kryptonite Al Gore is a dumbass

[ottozro]

Wow, Excellent Video work and Reporting. I never knew Volcanos could Produce Lightning ... Good Job.

[ben20k]

wow!

How does volcano eruption produces lightning?

[ben20k]

Hmmm. maybe because of two extremely different temperature of air meeting up.

[MrAnonymousCaller]

@ben20k

millions of dust particles rubbing against each other produces static electricity which is released as lightning.

[evilsinz]

I think God is telling me its okay to drive my SUV.

[8675tree09]

WOW Unbeleiveable video my hats off to the pilot and the camera man or woman ?Great job .
