SECOND ERUPTION OF HUNGA TONGA VOLCANO WAS THE LARGEST ERUPTION OF LAST 30 YEARS IN WORLD
Cosequences of this epic eruption were observable in whole world. Tsunami, Air Preassure Shock traveling twice around the globe.
Ash cloud some 39 km high(?) should be third highest in history same as sonic boom that could be heard all the way in Alaska some 9,366 km.
All these are shocking numbers. Tsunami hit New Zealand, Australia, USA, Japan, Peru, Ecuador and Chile. During the eruption which lasted 8 minutes volcano apparantly produced more than 200,000 Lightning Flashes which were observed from satelites.
However as sar as we know now very few people were killed during and after the eruption. So far 3 in Tonga and 2 in Peru. There is of course also enviromental impact from eruption but for that is too early to judge.
Tonga covered by dust is just reappearing from lost contact with world so we will see in coming days what the real impact was.
That's something what might be addressed in future programs.
AND IN THE END ONE MAJOR CORRECTION
By regrettable mistake I place in the program section about people facing “Tsunami”. Unfortunately this part of video should be ignored since the clip is NOT from Tonga but from Indonesia. Wave is called Bono and it could be seen in Sumatra.
My apology for everybody who was misled, confused or offended by this part of the program. Next time I will check outside information much more thoroughly then this time.

HUNGA-TONGA VOLCANIC ISLAND
Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai is a uninhabited volcanic island located about 30 kilometres south-southeast of Fonuafoʻou island in Tonga. Island elevation is 149 meters.The volcano is part of the highly active Tonga-Kermadec Islands volcanic arc, a subduction zone extending from New Zealand north-northeast to Fiji. It lies about 100 kilometres above a very active seismic zone. The island arc is formed at the convergent boundary where the Pacific Plate subducts under the Indo-Australian Plate.
The volcano itself is a submarine volcano that breached sea level in 2009 due to a volcanic eruption and lies underwater between the two islands (Hunga Tonga and Hunga Ha'apai), which are the remnants of the western and northern rim of the volcano's caldera.
