The movie is also known as "Krakatoa: Volcano of Destruction" and aired on Discovery Channel. The movie brings to life the journals and recollections of four witnesses who survived the cataclysmic eruption of Krakatoa in August of 1883.
This segment features the Beijerinck (Beyerinck) family in the village of Ketimbang, Sumatra. Controller Willem Beijerinck was one of seven assigned to oversee the growth and development of the Dutch colonies. Krakatoa had been building up activity, sending forth little explosions and a column of smoke from May to July. Many viewed this phenomenon as spectacular yet harmless. But to a few, such as Johanna Beijerinck, Willem's wife, this was an ominous sign of terrible things to come. This is her account from her journal.
On August 26, 1883, Krakatoa entered into its paroxysmal phase, with eruptions on a virtually continuous basis and explosions heard every 10 minutes. A black cloud of ash arose from its depths to 17 miles (27km) high. The combined result of such heavy volcanic activity birthed the first of the tsunami that would destroy the coastal villages surrounding the volcano.

This segment features Captain Lindeman's account on the ship, Governor General Loudon, at sea on the Sunda Strait in which Krakatoa resides. The ship, owned by the Netherlands Indies Steamship Company, served as an excursion vessel and mail steamer, based out of Batavia (present day Jakarta), Indonesia.
Hot ash and small particles of pumice that Krakatoa had spewed into the atmosphere began to fall in great, continuous amounts, blanketing a wide area over the surrounding sea and coasts, hiding the sun as if nightfall had descended. Ash is dangerous everywhere, which can start fires and makethe exercise of breathing extremely difficult, but more so to vulnerable ships on the open sea as Captain Lindeman is about to find out.

The Beijerinck (Beyerinck) family leaves the village of Ketimbang, Sumatra for their hut situated on higher ground further inland, along with 3,000 survivors on August 26, 1883 after a tsunami struck the village earlier in the day. The family arrived at their hut around midnight and settled down, exhausted but relieved, believing the worst was behind them.
The next day, August 27, four enormous explosions occurred early in the morning about one hour apart. The northern two-thirds of Rakata Island, one of the three islands which comprised Krakatoa, had collapsed. The last explosion was the loudest sound in recorded history, and was heard as far away as Perth, Australia. Its sound pressure level was at approximately 180 dBSPL at a distance of 100 miles (160km). To imagine its impact, the human threshold for pain is at 134 dBSPL and short-term effect hearing damage can occur at 120 dBSPL.

The name is used for the island group, the main island (also called Rakata), and the volcano as a whole. It has erupted repeatedly, massively, and with disastrous consequences throughout recorded history. The best known eruption culminated in a series of massive explosions on August 26-27 1883, which was among the most violent volcanic events in modern times. With a Volcanic Explosivity Index of 6, it was equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT — about 13,000 times the yield of the Little Boy bomb (13 to 16 KT), which devastated Hiroshima, Japan.

Captain Lindeman had been fighting the ash fall that threatened to capsize his ship. Meanwhile the collapse of Rakata Island had created mammoth sea waves which were radiating out from Krakatoa's epicenter and had already wiped out Sebesi Island northeast of Krakatoa. The Loudon, anchored at Lampong Bay near the village of Telok Betong, north of Krakatoa, was about to encounter one such giant wave.
A passenger, N.H. van Sandick, on the Loudon gives an account:
"Suddenly, at about 7 a.m., a tremendous wave came moving in from the sea, which literally blocked the view and moved with tremendous speed. The Loudon steamed forward in such a way that she headed right into the wave. One moment... the wave had reached us. The ship made a tremendous tumbling; however, the wave was passed and the Loudon was saved. The wave now reached Telok Betong and raced inland. Three more similar colossal waves followed, which destroyed all of Telok Betong right before our eyes. The light tower could be seen to tumble; the houses disappeared; the steamer Berouw was lifted and got stuck, apparently at the height of the cocoanut trees; and everything had become sea in front of our eyes, where a few minutes ago Telok Betong beach had been. The impressiveness of this spectacle is difficult to describe. The unexpectedness of what is seen and the tremendous dimensions of destruction, in front of one's eyes make it difficult to describe what has been viewed. The best comparison is a sudden change of scenery, which in fairy tales occurs by a fairy's magic wand, but on a colossal scale and with the conscious knowledge that it is reality, and that thousands of people have perished in an indivisible moment, that destruction without its equal has been wrought, and that the observer is in threatening danger of life. Taking all these things together the impression caused by such a natural scene can possibly be described, but it stops short of reality..."

The movie is also known as "Krakatoa: Volcano of Destruction" and aired on Discovery Channel. The movie brings to life the journals and recollections of four witnesses who survived the cataclysmic eruption of Krakatoa in August of 1883.
Jacob Schuit with his family was keeper of the Fourth Point lighthouse near Anjer in Java, east of Krakatoa. When morning of August 27, 1883 dawned, the thick smoke and ash fall from Krakatoa was so dense that the day remained enveloped in darkness and visibility was very poor. Stalwart Jacob felt that he must remain upstairs to keep the operations going in case ships were in the area.
Meanwhile, several mega-tsunami were radiating out of the collapse of Krakatoa and one was heading east toward Anjer.
A telegram from a Lloyd's of London agent describes the disaster:
"Anjer and lighthouse and the other lights of southwest Java have all been destroyed. The subsidences and upheavals we have alluded to caused a large wave about 100 feet in height to sweep down on the southwest coast of Java and south of Sumatra. This was swept in for a great distance, thereby doing great injury both to life and property.... Anjer seems to have been completely destroyed. Lloyd's sub-agent there wires from Serang: 'All gone. Plenty lives lost.'"

The Beijerinck (Beyerinck) family, along with 3,000 Ketimbang survivors, had settled further inland. They survived a tsunami and the destructive ear-shattering force of Krakatoa's explosions. They thought the worst had past, but one more is about to strike.
A pyroclastic surge is a fluid mass of turbulent gas and rock fragments which is ejected during volcanic eruptions and are similar to pyroclastic flows except that it has a higher proportion of gas to rock particles. Pyroclastic flows can generate pyroclastic surges. Because a pyroclastic surge is "lighter" than a pyroclastic flow, it can travel much faster at speeds of 350 mph carrying massive destructive kinetic energy and can actually climb higher ground.
Pyroclastic surges can be "hot" containing gas and steam at temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) to as much as 800 degrees Celsius(1472 degrees Fahrenheit). They can also be "cold" with temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius. Aside the temperature factor, both hot and cold pyroclastic surges can still be lethal, depending on the type of gases they carry.
Hot pyroclastic surges can cross significant bodies of water on a cushion of superheated steam just as it occurred in the Ketimbang area of Sumatra.

Rogier Verbeek was one of the few scientists that were in the area at the time of Krakatoa's eruption. His observations and findings became the foundation for modern volcanology, giving detailed account of the the entire cycle of a volcano's eruption.
This clip features the aftermath of Krakatoa's destruction, it's effect on the people it directly touched, as well as its world-wide influence for many years to follow.
In 1927, a new volcano was born on the very spot where the old one stood. It is called Anak Krakatoa, "Son of Krakatoa."
