Sinabung Eruption Sends Pyroclastic Flow Hurtling Down Mountainside

Thousands were forced to flee their homes as Mount Sinabung, in northern Sumatra, began erupting over recent days. The volcano, which had been dormant for 400 years before a 2010 eruption, began erupting again on June 2. This video was uploaded on June 19 and filmed at the foot of Mount Sinabung, displaying a pyroclastic flow (a fast-moving current of hot gas and rock) hurtling down the mountainside.
