I watched this on Nova, ordered it on VHS tape and got another one for DVD. It is informative, interesting and suspenseful. I enjoy watching it when I want to see a good documentary. DVD Review: Nova-In the Path of a Killer Volcano

NOVA - In the Path of a Killer Volcano
My husband and I were there and lived through the ups and downs of will we go, when will we go and what will happen to us? This wonderful DVD brought back so many good memories of the people we lived with and worked for as well as the bad memories of the evacuation and subsequent eruptions. Getting us out of there and the support we received was an incredible task well done. We are forever grateful for the way it was handled. We have never been back; we prefer to remember Clark as it was, "our years in paradise".
DVD Review: I was there. It was spot on.
Summary: 5 Stars
For someone who was there, this video was a great representation of what we went through. From not knowing what if something big was going to happen to seeing the, "Big One" blow was shown as it should have been. Too many people in the U.S. had no clue what was occurring in the Philippines and the dangers we faced on a daily basis. This should be a part of not only Geology by History as well. A nice book to complement the video is, "GI Joe Doesn't Live Here Anymore" by Thomas C. Utts. DVD Review: WHY?
Summary: 3 Stars
I had this DVD on video tape and my player ate it so I had to discard it, so I purchased the DVD and watch the whole thing and what do I find?, curse words bleeped out.............ARE YOU KIDDING ME?, this is a DVD about a Volcanic eruption of one of the most violent volcanos since Mt. St. Helens and they edit the swearing?.......I know it's a trivial thing and I shouldn't complain but really now, if they are gonna do that, they should sell two versions like they do for CD's.....I mean the cussing in this Documentary isn't all that bad to begin with, it probably cost more to bleep them out than it did to just put it on DVD in the first place.
Now that I'm done whining, aside from this minor glich, this documentary covers the 1991 Eruption of Mt Pinatubo in the Phillapines(sp), it is very interesting and definitely in my DVD library of volcano DVD's.
It does not disappoint. Hal Holbrook does a fine Narration.
DVD Review: Killer...
Summary: 3 Stars
Used in class to illustrate the power of volcanoes and the uncertainty associated with predictions. The video is good - but a bit too long and over done in the dramatics.
Description of NOVA - In the Path of a Killer Volcano
The Philippines' Mount Pinatubo is about to blow big. Is there enough time to evacuate the hundreds of thousands in its raging path? Stay with the scientists who remain behind- and see some astonishing footage of the world's largest volcanic eruption in 80 years. Local tribespeople were the first to see the signs. "There was a flash of light from the sky," said one. "I thought it was my time to die." The Philippines' Mount Pinatubo was acting restless- and the volcanologists at Clark Air Force Base were starting to sweat. An angry mountain is highly unpredictable. If they misread its fits and starts, a violent explosion could send pyroclastic flow- hot, dense avalanches- roaring down its sides at 100 miles per hour, burning everyone and everything in its path. But if they ordered an evacuation and nothing happened, these experts could lose their credibility for good. With a typhoon headed in their direction, the stakes are even higher. Torrential rains turn ash and rock into hot mud flows that can bury a town in minutes. Is it time to issue a Level 4 alert- ordering hundreds of thousands to flee their homes? Stay with the courageous scientists who remain behind- and see some astonishing footage as the world's biggest eruption in 80 years really starts to blow.General DVDs
