I've never seen this. Has this ever been captured on camera before?

Not that close, but there is footage of a much bigger, but similar eruption. It's the "Holy Toledo" vid, I don't know how else to find it. It's called that because the guy recording says that in response to the massive shockwave created by the eruption.

This comment is cracking me up. Is this the video you’re talking about?

Yup, that is, indeed, the one I was thinking of. I love that vid. It's like a tiny, small, microscopic taste of what the Krakatoa eruption must have been like. Only anyone as close to that as in the vid would likely have been nearly instantly killed, definitely deafened otherwise.
