Within 10 years, tell me when this great, huge explosion...
1883.
1883?
Um... 1882.
Right. Ladies and gentlemen, viewers at home, brace yourselves.
Oh, hello.
The explosion, the enormous, gigantic eruption of Krakatoa was in 1883.
Thank you.
Can I just say, wtf?
There was a documentary about it on the BBC where they re-enacted it.
Well remembered.
