Detailed Description
In May 1990, a television crew interviews then-HVO-Scientist-in-Charge Tom Wright as lava flows, visible as fume from burning vegetation in the background, inundate the Kalapana community. Such interviews were an essential means of communicating with the public at that time but today are heavily supplemented by the Internet.
