    Well now, that is pretty amazing. Good thing they caught it on tape.

    Man, that would have sent my pucker factor way over redline hoping that I was high enough on the mountain to not be affected. Holy crap that would be a un-nerving!

    Some great footage and I can't imagine how little those guys must have felt see something of that magnitude happen up close and personal like that.

    Just wow... I'm pretty sure I'd be rererereevalauting the sturdiness of where I was standing. Definitely a pucker factor involved with watching something like that. Freakin amazing

    Did anyone else see the whale shaped Aztec shrine that rose from the depths for a second? Coulda been a chunk of Atlantis too, I spose.
