Krakatoa: The Last Days, Clip 2 - Ashes

Wide Screen HD Version:
• Krakatoa: The Last Day...
From the BBC docu-drama, "Krakatoa: The Last Days." The movie is also known as "Krakatoa: Volcano of Destruction" and aired on Discovery Channel. The movie brings to life the journals and recollections of four witnesses who survived the cataclysmic eruption of Krakatoa in August of 1883.
This segment features Captain Lindeman's account on the ship, Governor General Loudon, at sea on the Sunda Strait in which Krakatoa resides. The ship, owned by the Netherlands Indies Steamship Company, served as an excursion vessel and mail steamer, based out of Batavia (present day Jakarta), Indonesia.
Hot ash and small particles of pumice that Krakatoa had spewed into the atmosphere began to fall in great, continuous amounts, blanketing a wide area over the surrounding sea and coasts, hiding the sun as if nightfall had descended. Ash is dangerous everywhere, which can start fires and make the exercise of breathing extremely difficult, but more so to vulnerable ships on the open sea as Captain Lindeman is about to find out.
Read Captain Lindeman's very informative in-depth account of his ship's survival through this catastrophic event:
Survivor Diary -- Capt. Lindeman

Note: There's NO DESTRUCTION in this one video out of the series. I included it because ash is a major component of a volcanic eruption. This clip shows Captain Lindeman's wisdom in keeping the ship afloat.
If you want to see the full docudrama, you can catch it on Discovery Channel, rent it, or buy the DVD at Amazon.co.uk:

When Mount Saint Helens blew up, it rained ash for days. It took weeks to clear the roads and sidewalks.

[@PxThucydides]

I was 600 miles from MSH. We had to clear two inches of ash off our cars. Heavy stuff.

I meant the Skrik the painting from Edvard Munch... Apparently Edvard was witness to a "red sky" because of Krakatoa bursts into the atmosphere that spread all over the world . "the sun was setting - suddenly the sky turned blood red - I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence - there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city - my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature. "

I thought it was tambora

[@yoogha1725]

I read in a book, the real Krakatau crater based beneath the sea around 50 km square. The peak collapsed when the first eruption happened around 11.000 years ago. What we saw as Anak Krakatau is a new crater arose from the sea at the base of its mother the real Krakatau.

[@dianaarash8826]

And now it has a child we called it "Anak Krakatoa" or the child of Krakatoa. It is not as bog as its mom, yet. Bit it is quiet dangerous. It was cost the tsunami pf Banten few years back

[@Kelly14UK]

Yeah, this is the legendary WORLDWIDE phenomenom isn't it? They say that sunsets around the globe were beyond today's imagination?

[@Loggerz23]

wow... we got a lot of active surface(ground) and underwater volcanoes... there are so many things in Indonesia u know... but still a beautiful country... PEACE TO U ALL!!! :D

[@lynwood9615]

It's a evil world, and comes from over top of your heads behind that sky.

[@pspboy7]

St. Elmo's Fire would be cool to see rippling on ship sails and masts like that.

[@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457]

Hello. Are you alive?

[@kevsecker3182]

To those men without the knowledge we have, it was as many things are, seen as a bad omen.

[@MelodyOfVision]

I had to edit out the scenes that didn't directly address the heavy ash fall that affected that entire area. Consequently, there are no scenes of destruction in this sole clip, but I felt it had to be included because the heavy ash fall that inundated the vast area surrounding Krakatoa is such a major element of a volcanic eruption. Anak Krakatoa will erupt sooner or later, and people, first in Indonesia and then the rest of the world when the ash disperses, will have to deal with this.

[@bonsaikingvonbonsai3052]

Where can I get the sounbtrack?

[@chestersleezer8821]

I would have put those male passengers to work helping to clear the ash off of the ship deck. Though the initial impact from the eruption was impactful. The real long term impact was the weather changes over the next decade.

this is human history

[@lesterpueyo1622]

krakatoa release ash and aerosol.some aerosol freeze coating ash in acid ice.it will cause rain and electrical discharge.

[@beastmaster0934]

That was an earlier eruption that split Java and Sumatra.

[@ctcpuccat]

No wonder, Indonesia is chain of fire anyway...

Tenang saja Gilian, ledakan krakatau tidak akan mengenai Malaysia. Apakah Malaysia punya gunung api? I'm born and live in Java, near from Anak Krakatau mt.

[@rodneywolf398]

Ada cuy,, gunung kinabalu di sabah malaysia... Cuma gunung berapi kinabalu tidak aktif macam krakatoa...

[@maryamadr1108]

@sirius celestia loh? gunung toba itu masih aktif ? tapi kalau krakatau itu juga besar sih ya, soalnya ini mungkin their first time of Volcano Eruption, ya kalau krakatau itu juga besar.
