WATCH! Amazing Live Footage of Volcano Eruption

A video showing a volcano erupting in Papua New Guinea has just been released capturing every bit of the explosion including a sonic boom (which we bet will make you jump too!). The eruption took place on August 29^th, when Mount Tavurvur erupted, but the footage has only now been released. The film, taken by Phil McNamara, shows the smoke exploding out of the top of the volcano, and you can almost feel the aftershock yourself as you watch. Mr. McNamara also provides a hilarious commentary that includes our new catchphrase, “holy smoking toledos!” The 58-year-old was on holiday in the area from Australia when he caught the amazing footage. The video was shot from a boat in the water and both the people in the boat and the viewer are warned by a voice off camera “Watch out for the shock, it’s coming.” Speaking to the Brisbane Times, Mr McNamara stated; “It was a spur of the moment thing to head out and film the volcano. We saw it erupting and the ladies from Kokopo Beach Bungalows where we were staying said they could take us out on the boat to get a closer look. I thought I might as well try and capture something you rarely get to see.” The eruption last week caused disruption to flight paths, with many flights rerouted. Meanwhile the town of Rabaul, which had only been rebuilt after it was destroyed by a volcano eruption in 1994, was evacuated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BUREX8aFbMs
