In 1883, One Sound Was Heard Across the Planet…Added:
Okay, something is very wrong. The ground is shaking, the birds just disappeared, and everyone keeps staring at that mountain. Oh my, THAT THAT WASN'T THUNDER. KRAKATOA JUST EXPLODED.
I I CAN FEEL IT IN MY CHEST. I CAN'T EVEN HEAR MYSELF.
LOOK AT THE WATER. LOOK AT THAT. THAT'S NOT a wave. That's the pressure from the explosion moving across the entire sea.
We're nowhere near Krakatoa, and we still heard it. That sound just crossed an ocean.
Months later, people all over Earth are seeing this sky.
Krakatoa didn't just make history. It painted the planet.
