- Title Man Accidentally Captures Devastating Shockwave Caused By Volcano Erupting
- Summary Over 7 million TikTok viewers have watched the moment a man inadvertently recorded the exact moment a shockwave tore through an island after a volcano erupted. On January 15 2022, Kurk Bennett was recording the cloud formations over the island of Tonga when he accidentally caught the monumental sound of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano erupting. Kurk was filming the calm of the island and the clear skies when the initial eruption could be heard in the distance. What Kurk did not know was that the shockwave was on its way and the effect that it was going to have on the island was not to be expected. The footage shows the exact moment the shockwaves went past Kurk which disturbed trees and shattered windows across the island. Kurk said: “It shattered all windows on the entire island and caused significant loss of hearing to residents, some even being partially deaf.”
