Soufriere Hills volcano: destruction at Plymouth
Plymouth was destroyed by pyroclastic flows and lahars from the volcano Soufriere Hills in 1996. The former capital of Montserrat in the caribbean is a ghost town, now. I filmed the destroyed city in 2010, during a new eruption of Soufriere Hills volcano.
This says wikipedia about the volcano:The Soufrière Hills volcano is an active, complex stratovolcano with many lava domes forming its summit, on the Caribbean island of Montserrat. Many volcanoes in the Caribbean are named Soufrière (French: sulphur outlet). These include La Soufrière or Soufrière Saint Vincent on the island of Saint Vincent and La Grande Soufrière on Guadeloupe. After a long period of dormancy, the Soufrière Hills volcano became active in 1995, and has continued to erupt ever since. Its eruptions have rendered more than half of Montserrat uninhabitable, destroying the capital city, Plymouth, and causing widespread evacuations: about two thirds of the population have left the island.

MONTSERRAT: VOLCANO ERUPTION
Natural Sound
In its most spectacular eruption ever recorded - Montserrat's volcano has sent a river of super hot gas down its sides and clouds of ash thousands of metres into the sky.
The volcano erupted for the first time in centuries in July, 1995.
Since then it has forced more than five thousand people to abandon their homes and devastated the island's tourist-based economy.
The latest eruption of Montserrat's volcano began last Sunday - its most dramatic in recorded history.
Clouds of incandescent gas as hot as five hundred degrees Celsius - known as pyroclastic flow - have been pouring out of the mountain.
Flowing down valleys, the gas reached speeds of up to a hundred kilometres an hour.
This gas travelled all the way to the sea where it made the water boil.
20 cows were burnt to death as the cloud engulfed them.
So far no people have been injured - because thousands of them have been evacuated away from the danger zone to safety on the northern part of the island.
The capital town of Plymouth was emptied of people four months ago and remains quiet today - the streets are covered in a layer of ash.
The former inhabitants don't yet know when they will be allowed to go back home.
The eruption has devastated the island's economy - ruining the tourist trade and closing businesses and public services.
This series of eruptions began over a year ago - the one before that was four hundred years ago.
Prior to that, geologist say the volcano was dormant for twenty thousand years.
The remaining people are hoping the next one will be just as far away - but at the moment it looks as if the volcano has other ideas.

July 1995 - Montserrat's Soufriere Hills volcano eruption
In July 1995, Montserrat's Soufriere Hills volcano, dormant throughout recorded history, rumbled to life and began an eruption which eventually buried the island's capital, Plymouth, in more than 12 metres (39 ft) of mud, destroyed its airport and docking facilities, and rendered the southern half of the island uninhabitable. Following the destruction of Plymouth, more than half of the population left the island due to the economic disruption and lack of housing. However, this ash venting does occasionally extend into the populated areas of the northern and western parts of the island.

EXPLORING MONTSERRAT, its incredible DESTRUCTION by VOLCANIC EXPLOSIONS (Caribbean)????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go for a tour around this magnificent island and let's see the areas that were devastated from the volcanic explosions from 1995 through 2004. Watch me as I enter some of the destroyed building including a hotel! Montserrat is a mountainous Caribbean island, part of the Lesser Antilles chain and a British Overseas Territory. Its Soufrière Hills volcano erupted in the 1990s, causing significant damage to the south of the island and leading to the creation of an exclusion zone. The north of the island is largely unaffected, and has black-sand beaches, coral reefs, cliffs and shoreline caves.
