Chaiten volcano eruption started 9 days ago obligeing the flight of more than 5000 person from the cities of Chaiten and Futaleufu. The eruption was preceded by a series of very frequent earthquakes during 1 week aproximately. The material expelled seen in the video is ash but ocasionally is has expelled incandescent pyroplastic material. The images were borrowed of Jorqe Barria.
This is one of the first videos I watched, when it was posted in Spanish, and without the "watermark". I just have one question. Where is the airfield which appears at 2:16 of the video? OK, two questions. When was that flight made? It looks like midmorning of 2 May, the Friday of the initial eruption. And then a lot of questions. Who were these guys? A flying club? Did they muster for the occasion, or did they just happen to be going up that day?
