Today in History

On August 27, 1883, one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in recorded history occurs on Krakatoa, a small, uninhabited island east of Sumatra and west of Java. Heard 3,000 miles away—and believed to have produced the loudest sounds in human history—the explosions threw five cubic miles of earth 50 miles into the air, created 120-foot tsunamis and killed an estimated 36,000 people.
