ICONIC PHOTO. Photojournalist Albert Garcia's snap of Mount Pinatubo eruption is in National Geographic's "100 Best Images of All Time." Photo by Albert GarciaWhen he covered the eruption of Mount Pinatubo on June 15, 1991, journalist Albert Garcia wanted so bad that his photos would be remarkable and would end up somewhere.
“People get information faster now. Unlike in Pinatubo, there was no Facebook, no Twitter. People can easily gather information now. Maybe Facebook – social media – is a big factor.” Garcia said. People were anxious and scared when pyroclastic materials hurtled into the air towards them. “Everybody screamed because ashfall was approaching us,” he recalled., Mount Pinatubo ejected an eruption column 40 kilometers above its crater. The volcano then started ejecting volcanic materials such as ashes, lava and rocks. Earthquakes and steam explosions were also felt.
“People feared the wrong information they saw online, and they also feared the right information,” he continued.Garcia recalled what was going through his mind when super-hot pyroclastic materials spewed by Mount Pinatubo flew towards them, forcing him and other journalists as well to evacuate the vicinity of the raging volcano.
the comparison is off. the magnitude of the eruption of the two are very far.
I first saw this iconic photo in a Health And Home issue during the late 90s.
