On Wednesday, April 22, Calbuco Volcano in Chile erupted. The last time it did so was in 1972, about 42 years ago. Thousands of people have been evacuated from Ensenada, a town in the foothills of the volcano both on the first day of its eruption and also on Thursday, when Calbuco erupted a second time.
Youtube videos was rife with Chileans posting videos of the eruption. Smoke and ash were sent to the air like a scene from an apocalyptic film. It’s so wonderful, although the catastrophe isn’t. News reports that the immediate concerns are that the ash could contaminate nearby water sources and also cause respiratory problems.
I picked one of the trending videos from youtube, this, with 5,604,176 viewers, 12,158 likes and 622 dislikes. As you watch, you’ll be left pondering what power and secrets lie beneath the depths of the earth. I was whoops! This is my mythical!

Last week ended April 18, amongst the top three youtube trending videos, the first position belongs to – a political video. Guess who? Hillary Clinton.
David Hasselhoff’s "True Survivor" comes second and is absolutely stunning. Third place was prominent filmmaker’s vlog, Casey Neistat, whose story is not only inspiring but motivationg.
The videos start from the third. I hope you do enjoy them.
No 3: Intensity by Casey Neistat
At 26 after a devastating accident, he was told by his doctors that he wouldn’t be able to "run" again. According to Casey: "This is what matters…[the brain] and the body is there to keep it running." Two years later, 28, he ran a marathon and 21 other marathons after that with several hundred triathlons.
In this vlog, he ran 21 miles for more than 2½ hours. Astonishing, the intensity!
This is the 19th vlog from filmmaker, Casey Neistat. He recently announced that he’ll be starting a daily vlog that will allow his viewers a window into his life.
