The sound of the eruption of Mount Krakatoa
On August 27, 1883, at 10 am, Krakatoa erupted and made the loudest sound in history, making its sound around the earth 4 times.
In Batavia, the sound was recorded at 172 decibels, even though it was 109 miles away but the sound was much louder than a jet engine.
On a British ship 40 miles away, a sailor suffered a ruptured eardrum, his captain thinking the Apocalypse was near.
The power of the eruption was equal to 10,000 Hiroshima bombs, 36 thousand people died, the lava was falling at a rate of 60 miles per hour, the tsunami was 120 feet high, and wiped out 165 villages on the coast.
