So, you’ve gone on an adventurous hike to some difficult-to-get-to waterfalls. And, as you do, you set up a video camera to film the waterfalls. In the background: a nice mountain. And just when you mention that that mountain is a volcano… the damn thing blows up:

A translation of what the guy says:

I’ll translate, because it’s somewhat hilarious (and I’m Chilean). The guy is saying:
(0:00) “Llanquihue National Reserve, Las Cascadas (Waterfalls) Sector.”
(0:12) “Few people come here. I was brave and adventurous.”
(0:20)“Beautiful. There’s the volcano in the back -”**Calbuco erupts** “ -wow…”
(0:34) “…motherf*ker…”

The guy was presenting the volcano, and it erupts, right on cue. Like it was saying ”Hi, man”.

OK, so now we can add “volcano that hasn’t erupted in 40 years suddenly erupts” to the list of never-before-captured-on-film things that have now been captured on film (video tape, memory card, whatever). We’ve previously caught car crashes, plane wrecks, bridge collapses. Now we just need to get “clear video of a Sasquatch,” “clear footage of a flying saucer” and “clear footage of a politician telling the truth.”
