It is considered widely that the most distrutive destructive volcano was Mt. Tambora in Indonesia, in April 5, 1812 1815. 92,000 people were killed, 12,000 directly from the volcano, and 80,000 from starvation. IT WAS TERRIBLE LIKE CRAZY It was a very terrible disaster, and I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE KILLED I am very sorry for this happening in Indonesia.
