Video of Anak Krakatoa before tsunami. The sounds emanating from it are really something.

And the blast was heard 1,800 miles away on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean. Incredible.

There was a little boy running around that looked to be about 5 years old. About 30 seconds before the wave, he climbed onto (I'm assuming) his father's lap. I hope that saved his life. Watching that innocent little boy running around was utterly heartbreaking.

I can't imagine what the person recording that was thinking with regard to their safety in the near future.

The tectonic forces that create volcanoes don't really care about us. We don't matter to them. Also, forces of nature don't hold opinions or make decisions.

after the original (mother) volcano erupted and disintegrated, Anak Krakatoa grew out of the rubble.

that is seismically and geologically quite active. Plus we have lots of weather. Makes for an interesting place.
