Before this era of laptop and modern alert evolution, Volcanic eruptions have caused extensive casualties. The whole city would have been erased in a moment. The issue came to the fore again on Sunday after the eruption of Guatemalan's Fuego volcano. So far 65 people were killed in the incident in Guatemala. More than 46 injured.

Another volcano called Mount Kilauea of Hawaii has released lava and ash for almost a month. In Kilauea No one was killed, but many were displaced from home. There are many deadly volcanic eruptions in history. Today I will briefly discuss about most 3 of them.
1. Volcanic Eruption of Mount Tambora Indonesia : 1815
The record of the largest Volcanic Eruption in history is Mount Tambora Indonesia in 1815. About 80 thousand people died due to disease and lack of food. After this incident, nothing could be produced in that area. This event is called 'Year without Summer'. The mixture of ash, sulfur and other gases was deprived of sunlight for many days. As a result, snow-fall conditions were created in the summer. The volcano was reappeared again in 1967 and 1880. However, it was less than 1815.

2. Volcanic Eruption of Krakatoa, Indonesia : 1883
This is also the case of Indonesia. Krakatoa eruptions occurred in Lampung province which is so far from west Tambora. According to the Volcano World website of the Oregon State University, due to the release of Kakatura, ash were spread to Singapore. From the various parts of the world, two massive explosions were heard in 1883. It is believed that, at the time of the evacuation is create the loudest sound. The explosion caused huge waves. In this incident 35 thousand people died. At the time the dust that spreads in the atmosphere which causes obstruction of sunlight on Earth. The global temperature decreases slightly. The sun-rays of red-air in some areas of the world, including New York, are observed. The Krakatoa is still active and continues to eruption from there. But there is no dangerous level.

3. The deadly Eruption of Mount Pelee, France : 1902
The eruption of Mount Pelee was the worst volcanic disaster of the 20th century. In less than a minute, the volcano eviscerated the entire city of St. Pierre, the biggest city in the Caribbean island of Martinique. More than 30,000 people died — and only three made it out alive. In the days leading up to May 8, 1902, the volcano had been smoking and emitting vapors for days before the eruption, but locals had seen it do this before. Most thought there was no reason to worry — until a cloud of ash descended onto the city. As it then became likely that Mount Pelee would soon erupt, panic quickly grew in the city below. Some fled, running as far out of the city as they could before the volcano could erupt.
