pyroclastic flow

A pyroclastic flow (also known as a pyroclastic density current or a pyroclastic cloud)[1] is a fast-moving current of hot gas and volcanic matter (collectively known as tephra) that flows along the ground away from a volcano at average speeds of 100 km/h (30 m/s; 60 mph; 90 ft/s) but is capable of reaching speeds up to 700 km/h (190 m/s; 430 mph; 640 ft/s).[2] The gases and tephra can reach temperatures of about 1,000 °C (1,800 °F).

Folks filming the video didn't seem too worried.

Watching the video, I notice the idiot in the Truck whizzing pass the cameras towards the flow. I started to wonder if they'll find him seated in the truck a few hundred years from now, like Pompeii residents.
