    Honestly, I’m not surprised that Vesuvius got the top spot. Vesuvius might be smaller than the other volcanoes on the list but it threatens the same region as Campi Flegrei and is far more likely to have a violent eruption in the relatively near future. Vesuvius’s history speaks for itself since when people think of volcanoes that have destroyed cities, Vesuvius is normally the first volcano that comes to mind. Vesuvius is also one of the two volcanoes on this list that I have actually been to, the other is Kilauea

    If your question is why they aren't on the list, it's probably because for both, a new major eruption is unlikely any time soon. EDIT: Then again, Kilauea is one of the least explosive and most predictable volcanoes that only causes minor property damage in comparison to other volcanoes, and there are several volcanoes in Latin America or Indonesia more dangerous than Mount St. Helens, and then there is Iwo Jima, so the list is not the best.

    Since I'm not doing a review of your videos on my channel due to the video lagging badly whenever I try to film (which is annoying), I will comment here. I think there should've been other volcanoes on that list that are far dangerous than others mentioned. While St. Helen's was destructive in 1980 (although volcanologists do say there was a far massive eruption that happened over 500 years ago as ash from the eruption was found in Canada), St. Helen's was destructive that day mainly because of the lateral blast that the volcanologists weren't anticipating as a lateral blast had never been witnessed by volcanologists prior to 1980 (however, because of their experience with St. Helen's, they were able to save more people when the volcano at Monserrat erupted in the mid 1990s because that eruption was a lateral blast too). The lateral blast happened as a result of a deformation that occurred on the side of the volcano. And Mount St. Helen's has erupted since 1980 in the early 2000s that didn't have a very powerful eruption because what makes an eruption powerful and dangerous is the kind of magma in the magma chamber. Since most of the gas was released in the 1980 eruption, there wasn't much gas in the chamber when it erupted in the early 2000s. I think Toba should've been on there. It's a super volcano like Yellowstone, but it has a history of putting a nice dent in the human population. I think Tambora should've been put on there as it's eruption in 1815 was a VEI 7...just below the super eruption level of VEI 8. It caused a massive death toll due to starvation as the eruption caused snow to fall in the summer of 1816...hence the year without a summer. Krakotoa should've been on the list too. I agree with Vesuvius being on the list as not only we have information from the past of what it's capable of, but there is a massive magma chamber beneath it. I'm clueless which volcano should be the fifth, but it's not Kilauea. I don't neccessarily disagree that a volcano like that can't be dangerous in it's own right. 250 million years ago, it is believed that the massive extinction on the planet (like 95% of the life on the planet became extinct) was caused by a massive volcano eruption that came out of Siberia. Particularly, where the Siberian traps are. Of course, the reason why that eruption was long and massive is that a hot spot developed underneath what had originally been a swamp. It also burned through a layer of coal, and coal burns for a long time (just look at Centralia in PA). Not only does coal burn for a long time, it gives off dangerous gases like carbon monoxide and methane. However, since the hot spot underneath that disappeared or move onto another location...that location is irrelevant these days. However, that eruption was the type that Kilauea produces. So, an eruption like that going on for a long time can do some damage. But I still wouldn't think Kilauea is dangerous. Not yet at least. If the eruption continues until 2083, I may consider it such. This is pretty long as it is, so I will stop here.

    Kilauea’s eruption and lava type make it far less threatening than stratovolcanoes that are covered in glaciers or those known for huge, explosive eruptions. The people of Hawaii also have a much different outlook on volcanoes than most other places. Kilauea is exceptionally well-studied and well-monitored, and its fallout is limited. Ditto for St. Helens. Less so for Rainier, but infrastructure for evacuations do exist. If you live near a volcano, you just learn to accept that you might live to see an eruption, and if you’re smart, you prepare for it.

Then the summit suddenly began to collapse, and a monstrous flow started overnight, people were YTube getting fissures in their backyard in minutes. And you say it's benign. An estimate of 4 million tons per 8 hours, these numbers are unreal. Kalipan had already been destroyed so instead of going northeast towards Hiloit turned southwest and devastated that entire reach of coast. The summit, collapsed to a depth of 3000 feet.

    I live in the Pacific NW, within a couple hours drive of both the "most dangerous" Washington state volcanoes, but they have barely even cleared their throats in over twenty years, so we're not exactly getting our knickers in a twist. I would have thought that the more dangerous volcanoes (considering population density) would be in the area of the mid-western Pacific ocean especially in the areas of Indonesia and the Philippines. These are third-world countries who have millions of people near to hand of some of these big smokers; and considering the lack of money, infrastructure and the sheer dearth of resources with which to rapidly move the millions of people out of the danger zones, ground zero could be a considerably wider area than anyone thought possible. Anyone remember Katrina? Try that in an area ten times bigger on islands, add lava and pumice, subtract fresh water, plus a total grid-lock of all rescue vehicles for a thousand miles around...

    Humanitarian crises resulting from major volcanic eruptions in Java or Luzon, to name the most populous islands of Indonesia and the Philippines respectively, would most likely be every bit as bad as what's going on now with the war in Ukraine...probably even worse, given the even greater population figures and densities than in Ukraine.

    I go with the feeling that , one can take some actions to lessen the events impact on yourself, but to worry endlessly about said concern is nothing less than wasted time and energy. Not looking to sound arrogant but one can do all a human can do in case of an eruption, Stock food and supplies, medical needs, reinforce the place you will stay until worsening conditions calls for bugging out to a safer area or leaving the area sooner than later. We as mortal can only do so much,, worrying about things will do nothing for a person safety, ringing your hands and pacing endlessly will not fix anything but understandably it is a way for nervous energy to be expelled ones mind. My example of how I came to learn this mind set isn't anywhere near a volcanic eruption level but rather when I was a young man I was a radio hobbyist. I put up a tower and antenna for part of the hobby. When the spring time storms came I was crazy worried about lightening hitting my tower and thoughts of the current traveling into the home by traveling along the wiring. I took precautions against this but still I paced the floors until a family member told me,, If the lighting is going to hit , your worrying will not do anything to stop it from happening. From that day on I realized that I have very little control in what happens. I can take personal precautions in things more likely to happen living in a certain area. I try to be prepared for certain things in life but the really big things I am useless in changing the outcome or event from happening.

    According to current research, Yellowstone won't ever have a super-eruption again, because the hot spot has thinned out the crust too much and tectonic movement is taking it off from above the hot spot, which will create another supervolcano to the east, but only in about a million years. The video though makes a very poor and too US-focused choice. While Campi Flegrei does deserve first place, Kilauea should not even be on the list, and there are several volcanoes in Indonesia alone more dangerous than Mount St. Helens or Mount Rainier.
