Who's dad are you? Good one!😂😂

Yeah. I'm going "Huh? We don't have a Mount Tambora, here."

From NZ here as well. I was wondering if I'd misheard Mt. Tarawera.

There's also the huge 232 AD eruption of Taupo.

Omg right

Im german so I could understand if it annoys them sometimes.

Probably similar to being American and having every tragedy compared to 9/11

@@bloodmasta1 I'm pretty sure only americans do that, other nations mostly have their own tragedies for comparison 🙂

Legend!

Don't worry, you'll be dead long before you can do any study.

Simon gotta be a millionaire by now

@@alexspayd2232 I doubt it, even with his basement dwellers, there’s still quite a few other people to pay 😂

Yeah mr. Whistler's the shieeet!

He pays other people to do research, write scripts, manage channels, film, edit etc. But shhh, don't tell him I told you.

@@PushyPawn yeah he sits down and bangs out the readings in a few hours and is basically done working for the week lol good for him 👍🏼

Yea... when he said Tambora was in New Zealand, that hit me with such a discordant note, I went to 'wiki' (Yea, I know. heh), to verify my discomfort. Sho 'nuff, that was a serious unforced error. No worries, the rest of the video was quite pleasant - and absent of the whole Green Lobby garbage. .

When comparing Taupo eruption to Toba eruption then Taupo is looks like firecracker. For comparison Yellowstone eruption is on a level of VEI 8, the highest level for volcano eruption. While Toba eruption that occured 75.000 years ago in North Sumatra province of Indonesia is even almost twice as powerful than Yellowstone's last eruption hundreds of thousands of years ago. That Toba crater today turned into a giant lake with surface area of 1,130 km2 (440 sq mi) and a maximum depth of 505 m (1,657 ft). That's not it, in the middle of the lake there is an island named Samosir with 108,869 people live in it, and in the middle of the Samosir island there are another two lake in it. So lake Toba is a lake with an island in the middle and there are another 2 lake in the middle of the island. And the size of island Samosir is 630 square kilometres (243 sq mi), almost the size of Singapore.

@@dwchen1 the last eruption from toba was actually even bigger than the largest eruption from Yellowstone

@Ewan Callister that was a different type of eruption and not a classical super eruption but I do agree that the Siberian Traps eruption was the worst eruption that we know about in earth’s history. I’d say that the largest explosive eruption (non flood basalt) is either wah wah springs or the fish canyon tuff eruption (La Garita) since both eruptions were around 2x the size of the toba eruption

I look out my window to lake Taupō every morning so if it blows in my lifetime ill be the first to know😆

You left out Pansy, Wimpy, and Wedgey.

I’d add Vesuvius to that

Id add st helens

He simply reads the scripts, sometimes totally cold. The real work is done by all of the researchers, writers, and editors.

@@thecraftycyborg9024 who mess up the information a fair bit 😅 included this video haha

He definitely has more videos than shirts he’s worn in them

@@thecraftycyborg9024 so? he’s a personable guy, which draws ppl to the other channels. It’s a pretty good deal. He also does multiple videos per channel every week lol like imagine you needed to film (I’m spitballing here) 20 videos in one week, some over an hour long. Not to mention all of the behind-the-scenes networking and logistical stuff. I’m not say he’s busting his ass but it’s still work

You must love his new channel

@@sandybarnes887 New channel?

@@danielladwein2570 it's about the Science Of Science Fiction

@@sandybarnes887I didn't even know about it. I follow all of the other channels. Thanks for the lovely update

@@danielladwein2570 all 14 of them? You're an og legend. Allegedly

I visited St Helens as a kid, and it was beautiful then since I had much lower understanding of volcanoes. The exclusion zone was also much bigger at the time. I think seeing it now, and being able to get closer, would freak me out. Then again, I went camping on Mt Rainier, so maybe not.

My parents were camping with my brothers and grandparents when she blew. Lots of people have family stories around here, ash went across most of the state and you will still find jars full hidden in old folks garages. Generally, a beautiful state with many natural things to respect.

I grew up in Southern Washington

That's normal

@@DaleDix yeap.

Yeah that threw me off a bit lmao I think Tambora deserves a video of its own honestly!

Isn’t Tambora on the island of Soembawa in Indonesia, not New Zealand?

@@mrdasboot45 Yeah it is

Vulcan-o

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanism_of_New_Zealand Well I learned something today

I remember the year Pinatubo erupted. We normally get a week or so of 30 degree days in the summer in Toronto and I think we only got maybe 2 days when the temp reached into the mid 20s that year. In fact, I think it rained every weekend for four consecutive weeks. A thoroughly miserable year weather wise.

@@nicholashylton6857 My father was part of the evacuation of Clark AFB when Mt. Pinatubo erupted. I guess hindsight is 20/20, but they couldn't have picked the worst place to build a military base. I remember him coming home and sleeping for 4 days straight.

Yup. 14 channels are a lot of content

A link twixt Krak and the rogue icebergs which sank the Titanic 25yrs later?🤔

It's the second time he's said mount tambora is in new zealand

I sense a huge disturbance in the Force.

I believe their predictors are time travelers. They hit prob 80% positive

They made a pretty big mistake with the Mount Tambora explosion.

Tambora became active in 1812 but the big eruption didn’t happen until 1815

My thoughts exactly. I've often thought that the famous Krakatoan eruption of 1883 (20 cu km) gets so much attention, mostly because it effected a LOT of white people, who documented the whole event, at a time when communication was remarkably fast. Similarly, I tire of hearing people talking about the Mount St. Helens eruption of 1980 (puny by most standards 0.25 cu km), which is so well known primarily because it happened on American soil. Or the Mount Vesuvius eruption of 79, (a relatively small eruption 3.3 cu km), primarily because it happened very close to major urban centres in the heart (and at the peak) of the Roman Empire. Also, because of all the cool fossilized remains preserved in ash. But of course this is how history is written, giving the most importance to the people who speak the loudest. Still, there have been many other significant eruptions. My favourite is the Thera eruption of about 1600 BCE in the Mediterranean, which vaporized the island of Santorini wiping out a major Minoan city (which was literally built right on top of the volcano.) This was an explosive Ultra Plinian eruption similar to Krakatoa, but easily 3 times as large (60 cu km.) Unlike Krakatoa however, this one occurred smack in the heart of the ancient western World. There would have been a massive tsunami and ash fallout all around the Mediterranean, in addition to a volcanic winter etc. Undoubtedly, it would have profoundly effected the entire region, and significantly altered the course of history. It is also 'by far' the most plausible basis for the Atlantis myth. Yet, it happened a long time ago, with little in the historical record (probably at the time people were too busy with other things), so we mostly don't pay much attention to this one, focusing instead on eruptions which have been well documented.

Is there more than one nature?

Yea they backed it down a bit before detonating because they couldn’t measure exactly how big it was to be.

He mentions that

Doubt it. The Volcano of biggest concern is YellowStone, but even that has only shown signs that it’s growing dormant. And even if it does erupt we’d be fine.

Campi Flegrei is probably of more concern than Yellowstone.

Tonga was prob biggest we seen in recent times, it added 10% extra water vapor in the upper atmosphere.

And Indonesia has Tambora, Krakatoa, and Lake Toba (the largest active super volcano). Indonesia had the two deadliest eruptions in human history and the largest explosive eruption in the last 25 million years

@@jakealter5504 I feel like my sarcastic comment went right over your head. They made a mistake in the video, there is no Mount Tambora in New Zealand.

@@PlaugeNinja I know. I’m just not great with understanding sarcasm

Etna is not a supervolcano. It's nowhere near big enough to be called that. But it's big enough that you wouldn't want to be standing less than ten miles from it during an eruption. All explosive volcanic eruptions are absolutely catastrophic for anything/anyone close enough to it. Humanity's nuclear weapons are pathetic squibs compared to volcanic eruptions.

@@patrickscalia5088 Etna’s eruptions are relatively safe even when explosive when compared to most of the eruptions from Vesuvius, Vesuvius might be smaller but it’s deadlier

artistic license :D

Even without the mistake, it's still a hilariously bad movie.

I think it has been done.

A MINOR eruption of Campe Flegrei was the 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius..

It was a massive eruption, but far from the deadliest ever.. Compared to several others it was like a minor fart

Since then, there was the "Great White Castle Catastrophy" of July 28, 2022. Makes the Great Taco Bell eruption look like an old and cracked woopie cussion that has lost its woopie.
