Krakatoa 1 of 2

[@wayoutwest4944]

Krakatoa, 1883, has been special to me since a child in, 1950's. My father, not given to a lot of words, told me of Krakatoa as a child. I do not remember what brought on the information, but he thought it important enough to tell me what he had learned about it when he was in school. He was born in, 1916, and his father before him, 1888. I am sure I will tell my grand children about it, the next time see them. Thanks for the documentary.

[@Madgegames]

This is my absolute favourite documentary on the planet earth. I saw it when it first came out in 2005 and have loved it ever since. I didn't see it again until 2007 but lost the tape with it on, finally I've found it again after all these years! Thank you so much for uploading it, I could hug you lol. But I do wish that there was a better quality version though. It's such a shame that nobody seems to remember this masterpiece. God this documentary is so underrated.

I've noticed from the views that most people simply skipped part one and went straight to part 2 for the major fireworks. What a shame! I've seen thousands of docs and movies, rarely comment, and give this 5 stars. Folks, don't skip part one! It's well made and the suspense and tension just keep building and BUILDING!

there were lots of lighthouses along the coast - the one mentioned here was at Fourth Point, the closest lighthouse to Krakatoa. There was a lighthouse with a Dutch keeper that was washed away in a Tsunami.

[@micmul23]

3:44: In fact tsunamis are usually not dangerous for ships on high seas. In deep water tsunamis are rather flat and not very high. A ship will swim over it without any troubles. They're growing dangerous and destructive when they get on shallow ground. This however is the reason why an approaching tsunami is difficult to detect.

[@blossomsmom8929]

I agree...I learned that from watching a documentary on them. Most are in credibility flat almost like a ripple. When they approach land the water gets "backed-up" and folds in on itself..it was cool to watch them re create them

[@celticlass8573]

There's so many places like that, which people aren't aware of. Another is beneath the Naples area. People think about Vesuvius of course, but they don't see that it's so much bigger than that. If you look at satellite photos of it, you can see so many volcanic craters, and it even extends out under the ocean.

[@jjMcCartan9686]

The eruption that separated sumatra & java was at least 4 times bigger than the 1883 eruption. Imagine witnessing that .

I wonder what ever happened to these old photo's the geologist took on the island before the main event? I for one have never seen them published anywhere.

[@tarantulaguy1998]

This documentary is an almost perfect re-creation of the events of 1883, right down to the fact that Krakatoa was made up of three volcanic peaks and not just one large stratovolcano for dramatic purposes of film *cough* Krakatoa: The Last Days *cough*. However, this program forgot one key element. It did make the point that the pyroclastic surges entering the sea caused tsunami, but what it didn't point out was how those superheated avalanches of ash, gas and rock blasted across the sea on a bed of steam, devastating the Sumatran coastline. Every other fact was practically nailed, but despite that inaccuracy, it's still a very good documentary on the eruption.

He's right about animal behavior before a major earthly event. I read that the animals in San Francisco just before the 1906 earthquake went bonkers! So there is something to it!

[@grassic]

I think they have made a mistake about the Fourth Point Lighthousekeeper. The keeper was a Dutchman called Jacob Schuit. He stayed in the lighthouse despite worsening conditions to keep the light burning. Just before the Tsunami the family dog ran out of the lighthouse and Schuit's wife, Catherine, ran after it and so survived the Tsunami while her husband and son were killed when the lighthouse was swept away. There is another account that the keeper was Javanese and survived and his wife and son were killed but this seems unlikely to me as anyone in that building when the Tsunami struck would not have survived so its more probable that this was another lighthouse less badly affected.

[@HotelPapa100]

That's a dramatization for the sake of a film. I put much more stock in the course of events as it's presented here.

[@viiiderekae]

There is an issue with the survival story. I did some research on the topography of the coast of Anyer. Using google maps... there was no hill within running distance of the light house. The land was aroud 3 m to 5m above sea level. The closest hill above 30m is at least two miles away

1962-63 school year I had art class and Miss Fletcher asked if all of us noticed the colors of our sunsets this year. She explained that about 6 months earlier there was a volcano and that we were just seeing the after effects of it. Point was we were learning why different artist at diff times painted the sky colors we never saw and might just think those artist were just off?? Actually they recorded a piece of history throughout time, Ever since I've been fascinated with volcanoes and hope never to experience one.

As I topped Portland's eastbound freeway bridge for the first time I saw St Helens to the north and Ranier to the northeast and Mt Hood to the east . It was 1970 and Paul Stuckey had just released Wedding Song. It was playing . It was an unforgettable moment... A decade later we watched it all exolode on St Helens. Then I looked at Portland completey differently. Mt Hood will bury Portland and the wind blows east. A much worse mess than Pompeii or Vesuvius could ever imagine. I've also waked up a house full in Prescott dreaming the volcano core Butte on the west side of town was cherry red and gunna blow. ..we gotta get out of here. Go back to sleep....I was terrified... I'm seven feet and 325 and I was scared ! Or Flagstaff which is built ON the volcano south of the volcano mostly. The two calderas I have visited. I was the first year they let people back n yellowstone in 1959. As 1958 an eruption destroyed the area now known as earthquake lake and killed a dozen or two and 300 ran in their pajamas to the hill top trapped 3 days till helicopters found them. Then I bicycled america and missed 3 tornados barely with my life. Moved to Sacramento and a B52 accidentally landed in my back yard ...actually the nieghbors but dam close ! We have hundred acre yards. You haven't lived till you are watering the weeds at sun up and a B52 crashes and misses me by several hundred meters. Florida governer Graham's secretary Rose. Blackson wanted to see yosemite She is a celebrated travel agent. I convinced her to not climb but bike first. As we returned to the campground and in sight of the cooler a huge wind of dust rolled over and a rock the size of half block apt building came down killing seven and injuring dozens . I'm scared to go to Niagara for fear someone will jump in.

[@MegaWolfgang]

Yes I was thinking along those lines as well that maybe this was two different lighthouses. But the other documentary calls it Fourth Point as well? Perhaps a mistake?

History clothed in cultural Marxism. All the key points are visited: Capitalism. Colonialism. Feminism. The "generation gap". Progressivism. Multiculturalism. The producer must have been a graduate of film studies from Berkeley. One can only imagine the liberties taken with the actual history by the writers. I expect the actual diaries were infinitely more interesting. But who reads anymore. A good example of Liberalism rewriting history.

Looking for -isms is always so rewarding, because you inevitably find them, whether they're there or not.

[@bfish89ryuhayabusa]

The tsunami was triggered alongside the eruption. Krakatau erupted, and part of the island (including the summit) collapsed due to slope instability. That landslide triggered the tsunami, which hit the coasts 30-60 minutes later. The alarm system is set up around earthquake-triggered tsunamis only, and so there was no warning for this, despite it being a known hazard for the last 6 years.

[@1950Chimaera]

@26:30, the narrator mentions the odd action of the water of the strait, and described it as "freezing". Although he didn't make it clear, the term freezing didn't apply in a temperature sensitive condition. The phenomenon was actually a shock of the surface much like a submarine war depth charge makes as it ignites beneath the surface. the amazing detail about this was it had been described as a massive spreading of this stunning effect across the open water between Krakatoa and the Fourth Point lighthouse as observed by the keeper. The information I am referring to was described in a wonderful, in depth book about the 1883 eruption, "Krakatoa", by Simon Winchester. ANYONE interested in the eruption and its geological make up, AND the multiple effects on the civilizations in that area, the Dutch colonizers and the native Indonesians. the eruptions had a great effect on the Muslim population and created a ground swell of an uprising against the Dutch colonists and their generally unwelcomed occupation. The geological analysis alone is exciting and highly compelling to anyone who really wants to find out what the causes and effects of such eruptions can bring about. i read it, especially certain chapters often. It is a magnetic story that keeps me returning to it to imagine how I might have reacted had I been in that area, whether on the vulnerable shore villages of maybe upon one of the ships unlucky enough to be in the Sunda Strait at the time of the major eruptions, as well as the prelude eruptions. One ship was only about seven miles from the volcano on the fateful and memorable apex of the gigantic eruptions. BUY THE BOOK, you will LOVE IT! You can get a decent used copy for about $7 on eBay.
