Not a great time to have engine troubles... That's a pyroclastic flow, a small one. If it was a big one, they could not have escaped, they would have been cooked.

Yes indeed.
Reminds me of one of those dreams when you're being chased by something and you can't run.

Re: Stromboli Volcano Lucky Escape
