Jaw-dropping video shows Yellowstone geyser explode, sending tourists fleeing in terror #shorts

An underground hydrothermal explosion at Yellowstone National Park sent visitors running for their lives Tuesday morning as a massive black mushroom cloud of steam and debris rose hundreds of feet in the air.

The eruption was in the national park’s Biscuit Basin area, originating near Black Diamond Pool, located about 2.1 miles northwest of Old Faithful.

Its amazing how little survival instincts some people have

The amount of people that stopped is insane.

It's almost as if the entire Yellowstone valley is one giant volcanic caldera.

[kimdawcatgirl]

I think people who go to Yellowstone leave their survival skills and brains at home.🙄

Holy cow, the mother of all Volcanos is underneath Yellow Stone.

By the looks of those people no wonder this country is doomed.

That's the same thing my grandfather would tell his car on a cold weather day 😂

[bugbaby]

The official report said it's not related to volcanic activity. But it actually is 😅. I think they just want people to stay calm and not worry about the giant volcano waking up. This is unusual activity but normal for geysers. Perhaps its not an indication of something much bigger coming so soon. Time will tell.
