Saint Pierre is a caribbean seaside city on the island of Martinique. It was an important city culturally and economically. On May 8, 1902, the nearby volcano Montagne Pelee exploded, sending out a pyroclastic surge, killing nearly all 30 000 citizens.

    the pyroclastic flow does last to long, plus, pyroclastic flows are gas and powders, not molton. but i supose both would be hard to solve:(

    @Vinayak, It's not lava, it's a pyroclastic flow. And the volcano size and shape is accurate.

    Very nice, but the lava and volcano is WAAY too big. The biggest danger is not of the lava.
