What happened

On June 7, 1991

  1. 1991 Mount Pinatubo erupts, generating an ash column 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) high.

    Active stratovolcano in Luzon, Philippines

    Mount Pinatubo is an active stratovolcano in the Zambales Mountains in Luzon in the Philippines. Located on the tripoint of Zambales, Tarlac and Pampanga provinces, most people were unaware of its eruptive history before the pre-eruption volcanic activity in early 1991. Dense forests, which supported a population of several thousand indigenous Aetas, heavily eroded and obscured Pinatubo.
