Semeru Volcano Eruption Update; Powerful Eruption, 19 Kilometer Long Pyroclastic Flow

The Semeru volcano in Indonesia just produced its largest volcanic eruption since record keeping began. This generated a 12 mile or 19 kilometer long pyroclastic flow in addition to a towering plume of ash. This ash subsequently rained down on the island of Java, leading to near blackout conditions. What had just occurred was a large "vulcanian" style eruption caused by the partial collapse of the lava dome at Semeru. So, what will happen next? This video will answer this question and discuss the ongoing eruption.
