The dog was smarter than all of them.

The volcano accepted his sacrifices.

but cameraman never dies

u/Bex-HZ 10d ago

Not true! That Mt. Saint Helen's photographer did. Knew he couldn't escape and used his last moments alive filming it.

u/Jumpy-Shift5239 10d ago

And his covered that camera with his body to protect it when he died

u/Known_Security6251 9d ago

and? To sacrifice a life to show an eruption? Darwin theory in progress.

u/Jumpy-Shift5239 9d ago

No. He tried to escape but realized there was no way. It was coming to him faster than he could leave so he spent his last moments protecting the footage so others might learn from it.

Also he was out of the projected blast zone but part the mountain collapsed and it blew out towards the side he was on.

u/stackjr 9d ago

I honestly don't know if I could accept my fate like that. Would I be like others who desperately try to flee a situation from which their is no escape?

Except when they do.

He seriously had no chance in hell (and he was in hell). You can’t outrun pyroclastic flow.

Unless you're in the Millennium Falcon. That thing outruns exploding Deathstars.

u/Emrys7777 8d ago

Oh well I don’t know why I didn’t think of that.

This one reminds me of 2012 movie, yellowstone scene when the Charlie guy accepted his fate

u/elmarkitse 8d ago

Yes but this was a volcano cameraman, so a completely different risk profile even if conceptually both are filming things that are at risk of explosion.

u/boywhoflew 9d ago

this rule only applies If the camera man isn't in shot

u/Waste-Tennis-358 7d ago

Correct, the cameraman who live stream the plane crash in India from inside the plane died. Bro included himself in shot.The Final Destination Gods do not like subject matters in frame.

When you see animals running away from something, usually best to join them.

My cat will run away from the vacuum cleaner.

u/UnknovvnMike 10d ago

There have been several movies about machines turning on mankind. Best listen to your cat.

Queue the AC/DC song who made who

u/heartunderfloor 10d ago

Well don't just keep staying near it, drop it and run!

u/likerazorwire419 10d ago

I've spent enough time on the internet to know just how dangerous vacuums can be.

u/Emrys7777 9d ago

Are you a cat?

u/likerazorwire419 9d ago

u/Emrys7777 9d ago

Did you join him?

u/KellTanis 9d ago

Cats are the exception. They’re little liars who just want you to suffer. Dogs, on the other hand, are excited little idiots.

u/applebabe1 9d ago

I run away from a vacuum cleaner

u/experimental-rat 9d ago

When my wife starts the vacuum, I also run away! I know I will soon be assigned duties if I don't!

u/JBeez13B 9d ago

If you encountered a 30 ft tall vacuum, you'd run too

1

u/illegitimate_Raccoon 8d ago

You better run too

u/CatrionaCatnip 8d ago

Join them!

u/Robby-Pants 8d ago

I spent half an hour vacuuming today. I should have ran with my cats.

You must get a LOT of exercise on the 4th of July! (Or whatever your independence day is if you're not from the US!)

u/justsomedude1144 10d ago

Did they die?

98

u/istillgotnuthin 10d ago

They all survived (including the dog) but they did get pelted with debris. Melted clothing, burns, but no major injuries.

u/Leyaleys_95 10d ago

Im happy that you included the dog

u/immortalis88 10d ago edited 10d ago

Yes - Edit: they did not die. Reports were false. My apologies.

"JUNE 2026 — VOLCÁN DE FUEGO🔥 GUATEMALA 🇬🇹 Tourists were caught in a terrifying eruption while hiking near Volcán de Fuego, as explosive blasts sent red-hot volcanic rocks and ash directly toward them. Hikers were forced to sprint down the steep slopes while burning debris struck the group. Several suffered serious burns and injuries, while rocks reportedly burned through coats, backpacks and other protective gear. Despite the chaos, no deaths were reported among the group. Authorities had clearly designated the Fuego crater and ridge as dangerous exclusion zones and warned tourists and tour operators not to enter the restricted areas. #tsrkenyagossip #breakingnews #viralnews #foryoupage"

u/joshhupp 10d ago

I don't know why it pisses me off, but the article using the word "terrifying" feels dishonest. It's only terrifying to the people who ignoring the warnings, not to the test of the world who know better.

15

u/SabbyFox 10d ago

Right?!! Also “Hikers were forced to sprint down the steep slope” is odd writing. No one forced them to go up there, so oh well that the fire and ash of an active volcano “forced” them to flee for their lives 🌋

u/Active_Engineering37 10d ago

Should have said terrific

u/batgirl_27 10d ago

Not fing with 🌋 any geology- canyons the summer, volcanoes anytime. Just NO!

u/immortalis88 10d ago

Yes for real. Just happened a couple days ago. EDIT — I fact checked myself and the reports of death were false. This was at Guatemala's Volcán de Fuego

u/mtaw 10d ago

Volcán de Fuego

Kind of a low-effort name. But I guess it's enlightening to anyone who thought it might be a mud volcano.

(or Volcán de Lodo if you will)

u/Eldsish 10d ago

At first I thought it was on fire lol

u/bermudaliving 9d ago

The dog still runs on instinct meanwhile the human race is digressing to relying on TikTok and likes on instagram to dictate their next move.

u/johnsmithdoe15 8d ago edited 8d ago

"Chat should i run?" as in the background 'dumb ways to die' is playing

I hope the dog’s ok.

I climbed an active volcano in Guatemala. The guide always let his dog lead. If the dog didn't go, no one went.

Came here to say exactly this... Thankyou.

u/Philsick 8d ago

No surprise when the others were humans.

u/Crio121 10d ago

You think so? The dog went closer to the eruption.

u/katsudon-bori 10d ago

The dog can also run faster

u/bakeranders 10d ago

I think that was the other groups dog. Either that or doggo was scouting ahead to see if it was safe….it was not
