    Now this is what the dust cloud at the wtc looked like which contained tremendous amounts of heat from the use of nuclear explosive devices contained in the basement which were blown upward through the buildings breaking the concrete floors and separating the exterior walls from the interior supports. The mushroom cloud was contained in the building, but the resulting heat formed something very much like this pyroclastic flow into the streets below. LLXIIX77

    The mushroom cloud from a nuclear explosive wouldn’t be contained in the WTC building. Plus, you would see the bottom of the building blow outwards before the collapsing top floors ever reached the upward expansion. Old school nuclear weapons using straight fission as a means of energy reach temperatures of 180,000,000 degrees F within the bomb casing and the isothermal sphere approx. 60 ft across reaches around 18,000,000 degrees F before the supercritical shockwave weakens enough for hydrodynamic flow to match the radiation driven shock front at approx. 1.8 million degrees F. At this point the fireball may be around 100 meters in diameter or more depending on the size of the fission detonation. Modern thermonuclear devices (meaning since the 1960’s) reach internal temperatures up to, and in excess of 630,000,000 degrees F depending on the size and number of thermonuclear fusion stages. During the actual WTC collapse of each tower, you can clearly see the the top floors collapse and begin spilling outward, making room for the energetic layers of newly pulverized concrete and metal to expand from the downward pressure of collapse.

    Most volcanoes can have this lahar including Mt Pinatubo. In this video the volcano we choose is the La Soufriere in St Vincent and the Grenadines as this suite of animations was produced before and during the eruption in 2020-2021.

    "Death or severe injury is certain for those caught by a pyroclastic flow." You can just omit the "severe injury" part. No one actually directly hit by a pyroclastic flow is getting any outcome other than nearly instant death. There is no close call or survival condition with 1000-degree molten rock, gas, and ash.

  • @James-kx3gc
    @James-kx3gc Жыл бұрын

    Severe injury is right, 1883 Krakatoa eruption saw some survivor from the pyroclastic flow, in an area of 3.000 people, 1.000 died from pyroclastic flow. The reason for that is the gas loses heat because they travel through the sea before reaching inland. Survivors are badly burnt with their skin melted and peeling off. There's a book detailing this event by firsthand accounts and official accounts from the Dutch government.

    How were the analysis of the eruption? That includes general chemistry of the tephras (mainly basaltic andesite? magma mixing?), thickness of pyroclastic flows and lahars, if any new land was formed out of those for the simplest parts of it. Will this new deep crater be filled with a new lake (that was 100% vaporised after the 1979 eruption)? Considering the cycle of this volcano, can it be expected to wait 60 years before a new dome is emplaced? The 1979 eruption was unusual because the dome came immediately after the explosions. So the 2020-21 eruption could be considered a return to form? Does anyone in the public know about the May 7th 1902 eruption (unlikely!!)?

  • @amj5350
    @amj5350 Жыл бұрын

    Thanks for the questions and comment. Yes the public knows about the 1902 eruption as we've done extensive outreach work over the past decade on island. There is an interactive exhibit called 'Soufriere Blow' that showcases details of that eruption and the 1979. With respect to the analysis, papers have been published and research will continue. You can visit uwiseismic.com/downloads/scientific-papers/ to view some of the work published. A special thematic series will soon be published that will be open access. Regarding Soufriere, we have to wait and see what cycle or patterns it will follow but the Centre continues to monitor it and the other volcanoes under our remit.

    Because of the long timescales associated with volcanoes. It can be 1000 years plus before an eruption and in that time 2-3 generations of humans would have lived safely in the area. Volcanic slopes are good for agriculture and villages would grow in size close to the farming grounds. Proper emergency plans and education is key to reducing the risk from volcanic hazards.
