A Theme Park Is In The Path Of An Erupting Volcano In ‘Skyfire’

This January a theme park is in the path of an erupting volcano in director Simon West‘s (The Mechanic, Con Air) new disaster movie Skyfire. In the movie, “A young scientist (Hannah Quinlivan) invents a cutting-edge volcanic warning system and returns to the tropical island where her mother tragically died, hoping she can prevent future deaths. The island is now home to the world’s only volcano theme park and resort, the brainchild of its reckless owner Jack (Jason Isaacs). Chaos soon erupts when the once dormant volcano starts to rumble. It’s a battle with nature to get off the island while fiery death and destruction rain down from the mountain.” Xueqi Wang, Hannah Quinlivan, Jason Isaacs, and Shawn Dou star in Skyfire erupting onto VOD on January 12th, 2021.

Mind-Blowing Study Showed Victims Of Vesuvius May Have Died More Violently Than Originally Thought.

The skeletal remains of 55 Roman citizens (30 men, 13 women, 12 children) were located in vacant boathouses on a small beach with a waterway leading out to sea. With the absence of (functional) boats on site led to the theory that this was the site of an evacuation. Originally it’s been accepted that these individuals died from suffocation due to the Pyroclastic flow from Mount Vesuvius, because of the skeletal state of the remains, it made it easier to examine possible causes of death unlike the famous ghostly remains of the victims of the city of Pompeii. A recent study published in the scientific journal PLOS ONE offers a disturbing hypothesis, the 55 victims in the boathouses of Herculaneum’s waterfront died as a result of their blood boiling to the point it made their heads “explode”.
