Good morning, guys.
Thank you for joining me.
There was another volcanic eruption early this morning in
Japan. Volcano Nakadake erupted using Google Earth.
Here's the location of that volcano.
And there was a man there.
Yeah, I would say he barely survived at the eruption.
Yahoo News has an image that he took when he was there when
it erupted.
There were 16 other hikers there when it did go off.
It is a tourist destination.
I have translated the article that was on Yahoo.
It says the photo captures the moment the eruption by chance
at the summit of Nakadake about 1 km away from the crater
that's close.
So that would be about 3280ft away when it went off.
Holy cow.
Right.
I can't help but think about the other group of tourists
that were at White Island when interrupted.
They were all killed.
Some of them, they never found their bodies.
So he was looking through his camera and he saw white smoke.
The white smoke turned black.
That would have been ash.
And after about 3 seconds, I heard scrunchie a boom.
I suppose I was scared.
I did not expect to encounter such a thing.
I witnessed the moment of the eruption.
He said the man witnessed a fountain falling like a black
rain. That would have been the ash.
And he ran about 200 meters hiding behind a large rocket.
Says after the initial first eruption, the fountain of the
black ash settled down and yeah, he hurried down the mountain
afterwards. Yeah, I would have run as fast as I could.
Look at that.
This is what he was in.
It said that the blast sent ash several miles into the sky
and officials then after the eruption, prompt a warning level
of three, it erupted at 11:43 a.m.
Local time.
And with the alert level now at three, they're telling people
not to approach and worn a risk of large falling rocks and
Pyroclastic flows within about a half a mile of the mountain.
Here's another Twitter post of the eruption from one of the
parking lots there at the park.
Yeah.
You can see the Pyroclastic flow here as it moves across.
Yeah.
Amazing.
Thank you for sending that to me.
And there's another Twitter post.
I'll go to the beginning where you can actually see where
it went off.
Yeah.
Look at that.
Hard to believe that guy was so close to when it happened.
Wow.
Yeah.
I believe this is the Museum.
You can see the cameras on top of the building and the parking
lot and people were quickly getting out of Dodge.
Actually, for the crater Nakadake, there was a small eruption
there in 2019.
Mount Aso Crater is one of the largest craters.
It stretches 18 km east to west and 25 km north to south.
So that would make the coldera about eleven to 15 miles,
11 miles east to west and 15 miles north to south.
Japan has designed this as a National Park.
And it is very popular as a tourist destination because of
its hot Springs and it's natural beauty.
Evidently, the nearby city of Kumamoto gets most of its water
from this volcano, so let's bring it out.
It is on an island there.
The city is right there that gets its water from the volcano.
You can see how close all these people are.
If this thing decides to go off, it's like, wow in this image
of the eruption, this down here on the bottom left.
Very well.
Maybe their Museum.
They have there at that park, and it looks like some kind
of structures over here on the right and at the bottom.
These images here are from a handout that the Japanese government
posted. So what are your thoughts?
Sending prayers that they don't have a large eruption?
It is a fairly large caldera.
Please put those thoughts down below.
