People have died from various effects of Mount Unzen. The most recent event occurred on June 3, 1991. The volcano produced a pyroclastic flow, a cloud of superheated ash, rock, and gas that races downhill. This flow overwhelmed a ridge where 43 scientists and journalists were burned to death. The deadliest event occurred on May 21, 1792 when a series of eruptions and associated earthquakes triggered a massive landslide which in turn produced a tsunami that killed an estimated 15,000 people.
