Etna (Sicily, Italy): Time-lapse videos from webcams allow to at least partially reconstruct the series of events at Etna yesterday: first, hot material rapidly accumulated on the eastern rim of the summit vent seemed to start sliding; the release of weight then seems to allow an explosion to take place, destabilizing a larger portion of the upper flank, thus generating a very large slide.
Due to the steep slope, acceleration is large: within seconds, the moving rock masses, disintegrating and mixing with air become a turbulent, hot, fluidized mixture (pyroclastic flow) that reaches the base of the cone
