Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: At 8:00 am on the morning of May 8, 1902, Mt. Pelee erupted sending a pyroclastic cloud of hot gases and ash on the city of Saint Pierre on the Caribbean island of Martinique. The city was destroyed and over 30,000 people were killed instantly.
Only one person survived the destruction of the city: Ludger Sylbaris. He was a prisoner in this crypt in the dungeon of the jail. Badly burned, he was rescued four days after the eruption when a rescue team heard his cries. The crypt (actually a munitions magazine) was built about 1660. |
