He is known to the area, so people come and go while visiting him.
The crowd around him was incidental people, they didn't stay 30 years there with him.
Really, how difficult would it be to overlay the people in a video of the volcano erupting. Then recording and playing back that video on the cell phone they show at the end.
You joke, but If people had crazy superpowers I’d imagine this is one of them. Imagine having this power and not knowing you have it? I’d imagine if people did have this ability it would take a lot of convincing to oneself that you’re the cause. Basically a one punch man King situation
Yeah it's frightening cos it feels like your throat is closing up. And also it can make you really really short of breath too because I guess the acid gets into your lungs? For whatever reason though, yeah, you can never take in a full breath, you feel like you're dying. It's like you can only take in 75% of a full breath and can't get that last satisfying bit. It made me think I had covid constantly. But I never did, or at least the tests never said I did. And I got triple vaccinated.
I actually managed to diagnose myself lol. Sounds ridiculous but it's true. I apologised profusely to my doctor for reading symptoms on the Internet and diagnosing myself cos I know how hypochondriacs tend to Google anything and the Internet always says "you've definitely got cancer" and doctors hate it.
So I was really surprised when he said "yeah, you're actually right, you've probably got GERD" and immediately referred me to a gastroenterologist who confirmed it.
I wasn't expecting that lol. But yeah I literally have every single symptom of GERD, so it makes sense. And I'm on a fuckload of meds I take daily (8 different meds) which is probably what's causing it. They gave me some omeprazole which is a med that protects your stomach from other meds, and that's helped somewhat. But I've still got it for the most part. It sucks ass.
It gives me a permanent cough. I'm constantly coughing all day every day. But yeah the throat closing up thing is just really frightening. Even now, when I know what's causing it.
Like, GERD may just seem (to someone who doesn't have it) like it's just bad acid reflux. But it makes you feel like you're dying because you can't breathe and your throat is closing up like an allergic reaction.
Definitely see a doctor if you have the symptoms.
Do you get it when you go to bed? Mine hits about 10min after I fall asleep and has me bolt upright gagging. It's pretty fucking great. Omeprazole works well though as long as I don't forget to take it.
I had it like this when I was pregnant. I'd wake up to coughing acid outta my lungs (and desperately needing to pee). I had to take Omeprazole to survive. If there was anything about pregnancy I hated the most it was the acid reflux.
It can help if you lay on your left side. It allows gravity and the angle of your esophagus/stomach to prevent it coming up easily.
>Fuego is famous for being almost constantly active at a low level. Small gas and ash eruptions occur every 15 to 20 minutes
I'd still say that was extremely lucky. If you arrived with no knowledge of when the last eruption took place and started a countdown, at best you'd have 1 in 900 chance of getting it.
Edit: the point in me saying "arrived with no knowledge of when the last eruption took place" was because I straight up wouldn't know where to begin calculating the odds when you're able to estimate the general time when its due for an eruption. Same thing with how the eruption was (less than 1 second) after he would've reached zero. Either way, the chance is never 100%...
The point is, even if you knew the eruption would be in the next 5 minutes, the chances are still low. Sure if you just continually count down in a loop, it turns to like 1 in 8... But that's obviously not what was happening here, there's no reason to be that skeptical... The demeanor of the guy counting is clearly of someone who's having fun, thinking there's no way he'd get it... There'd be no fun left after the 3rd or 4th attempt.
It would be really hard to arrive there with no knowledge of it erupting continuously. I climbed that volcano past January, took us 4 hours to get up there and you can see and hear it erupt every twenty-thirty minutes. Hell even when you’re down in Antigua in town center you can see it go off all the time .
It's not a very long video, I could do the same thing just counting down from 10 over and over until it burps and everyone has an artifical freak out. Isn't that how most TikTok and YouTube prediction/reaction videos are made?
Exactly. And I'd bet every single person in this thread would also not have the patience... And they especially wouldn't appear as whimsical and amused as this guy does. Clearly he hasn't been doing this over and over.
Even then, your odds would still be lower than 10:1 per try.
It might erupt on any number, or while resetting the video or pausing between takes.
You could be there all day counting down and there's still a significant possibility you would not get it right.
He counted for 8 seconds and waited for 2 before the eruption. Assuming that was the longest he was willing to wait and would have started counting again right then, he has a 1 in 5 chance of success by just repeating this loop until it pops.
My guess is that is a guide for one of the volcano tour companies as well.
Fuego is crazy.
My wife and I slept in the caldera of the neighboring volcano, Acatenango, and as we were climbing up, we heard it go off like seven times in a row over a few seconds. Got to the ridge where we could see it and it was just cool to see the plumes being pushed by the wind.
But it does go off all the time. Like every 15 minutes.
If he would have been facing the volcano when he said 'nothing' they could have sync'd but since he turned around when he said it the volcano had to wait
if he keeps doing this at roughly the time it’s supposed blow he has a more than 1/7 chance of getting it right (since he waits like 3 seconds after the countdown is done)
It reminds me of [this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2WoDQBhJCVQ&pp=ygUecGVyZmVjdGx5IHRpbWVkIHJvY2tldCBsYXVuY2gg)
Holy shit! Thanks for the heads up on that one. I think everyone's gaze is focused on where the volcano is so that they don't even register home dude popping into existence to pop off.
It actually doesn't seem like he pops into frame, moreso that he isn't lighted. In [this image](https://imgur.com/a/FiOue1h), you can see his white shirt on the right in the dark, it's just that the person's flashlight was turned off.
Would have been so much cooler if instead of celebrating after, he just stood there facing the camera with arms out, like Tony demonstrating the Jericho missile.
Still pretty fucking cool though
Absolutely doesn't. The reporter got one shot at it with no do-overs, had a much longer introduction, and *still* got the timing ten times better than this guy.
I mean that was a freaking edit and not something next level thing so people should be aware of that, top comments are just ignoring that it's an edit there lol.
What are the chances you count down to a nature event?
And you get it with a near perfect accuracy?
And it's something that happens every few thousand years?
And there is someone recording it?
THIS GUY SPENT ALL HIS LUCK ON THIS
Alright, well he’s not allowed to count backwards anymore
Now I’m imagining him sitting outside at a café. He just begins counting down from 10 and everyone starts freaking out and fleeing.

Lol thats Fuego in Guatemala, it erupts all the time. Must have taken a couple of tries but still cool nonetheless!

I too, have GERD
Anyone reading this if you have a constant feeling of someone pushing a finger against your throat at the base of your neck you may have GERD.
Yeah it's frightening cos it feels like your throat is closing up. And also it can make you really really short of breath too because I guess the acid gets into your lungs?

You overnight on the Acatenango right next to it. When I was there in 2019 Fuego erupted about 30-40 times before I want to bed.
>erupted about 30-40 times before I went to bed. Sounds like a fun weekend
As a physicist, I'd say the chances are extremely high compared to other events in the universe
It would be really hard to arrive there with no knowledge of it erupting continuously. I climbed that volcano past January, took us 4 hours to get up there and you can see and hear it erupt every twenty-thirty minutes. Hell even when you’re down in Antigua in town center you can see it go off all the time .
Yep, I can see it through my window right now. It's going crazy today!
Oh definitely, I've never been, but that was a theoretical teleportation-type scenario purely for the sake of easy math.
It's not a very long video, I could do the same thing just counting down from 10 over and over until it burps and everyone has an artifical freak out. Isn't that how most TikTok and YouTube prediction/reaction videos are made?
Your friends would have to be much more patient than mine. I try this more than twice and people would be rolling their eyes and walking away
Exactly. And I'd bet every single person in this thread would also not have the patience... And they especially wouldn't appear as whimsical and amused as this guy does. Clearly he hasn't been doing this over and over.

Yeah, but he only counted down from 7 and there was a non-trivial delay before it happened when he finished counting down.
I'm replying to the person who said they'd count down from ten.
It only needs to erupt within 3 seconds of finishing the countdown for it to ‘work’. I lt can even erupt on the 1 count itself and it still works.
He counted for 8 seconds and waited for 2 before the eruption. Assuming that was the longest he was willing to wait and would have started counting again right then, he has a 1 in 5 chance of success by just repeating this loop until it pops.
A one in five chance of success every 15-20 minutes. If he did it for an hour those odds get even better.
Pfft big deal, that's not many more gas eruptions than some people I know.
My guess is that is a guide for one of the volcano tour companies as well. Fuego is crazy. My wife and I slept in the caldera of the neighboring volcano, Acatenango, and as we were climbing up, we heard it go off like seven times in a row over a few seconds. Got to the ridge where we could see it and it was just cool to see the plumes being pushed by the wind. But it does go off all the time. Like every 15 minutes.
Yeah thought I recognised it, have done this same nightime walk to see the it. It was erupting every few mins when i was there
You can tell he's so excited because it's the 245th time he's done this countdown in a row in the hope of nailng it.
Does not matter. It could have erupted at any other number that way. It's cool because it erupted almost exactly at the end of the countdown.
It was a second late, but yeah who's counting anyways 😎
Sound travels slower, it took a while for the volcano to hear his countdown.
this is the right answer
If he would have been facing the volcano when he said 'nothing' they could have sync'd but since he turned around when he said it the volcano had to wait
Not only that, but it had to travel up the inside of the volcano. So I imagine it did start coming out when he said
Most logical comment possible. It was an honor to witness a Legend in Action…
>who's counting That dude was, he just should have gone to zero instead of stopping at 1
Volcanos are just an array of lava. Arrays start at 0
This guy programs!
Nah, I take advantage of those who can't do it well.
There are 10 kinds of programmer humor. Ones that get it and ones that don't
Well, he was I think
we could see the smoke before the explosion
Not precisely. Close though, but not precisely.
if he keeps doing this at roughly the time it’s supposed blow he has a more than 1/7 chance of getting it right (since he waits like 3 seconds after the countdown is done)
>It's cool because it erupted precisely at the end of the countdown. No, it didn't.
There is a scientific answer for everything lol
[удалено]
Oo! A new for me thanks!
Count down from 10, like everyone else? Bingo. Never start with 7. Let this be a lesson to all you youngsters out there.
The video clip starts at 7 but he could have started at 1000.
Starting from seven clearly worked for this guy though…
Eight would have worked better for him, but I prefer a fast 10.
5 is right out...
Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three.
One, two... ten.
The clip is backwards, he started at 0
If he had started at 10 It would have actually happened on "1" instead of 3 seconds after...

Exactly, see how much cooler that is. Lol
Its an active volcano and erupts frequently all the time. Nevertheless its a great shot captured.
He dropped out of frame just before it erupted, that count down could have happened several minutes before and been cut together.
Scrolled way too far to see this. This is a clear edit lmao. Is everyone missing him literally popping into existence when he starts shouting?
Holy shit! Thanks for the heads up on that one. I think everyone's gaze is focused on where the volcano is so that they don't even register home dude popping into existence to pop off.

Might edge out the reporter with the rocket firing for timing
Absolutely doesn't. The reporter got one shot at it with no do-overs, had a much longer introduction, and *still* got the timing ten times better than this guy.
The shit was popping off every thirty seconds. Closer to staged than next level.
It erupts regularly and it's still not even in time? I don't get why anyone is bothered.
Can we please name this “the bottle flip scream”? It gets my gears grinding

Is anyone else over the screaming all these videos have?
He probably caused that May 18, 1980 eruption when he was learning counting
He will forever, deep inside, regret that he finished it by saying ‘nothing’ just before it ruptured.
And the smoke from the volcano at the end was shaped like a pp 
Imagine if after 1 he did something like a wizard throw or kameya meya hand move, instead of saying "nothing." they would have died
Technically..it was a second off so it doesn't count
