Great computer animation on those pictures, but at those flows are not lahars. They are pyroclastic flows.

*edit
It appears the creator of the video has corrected his mistake.

This is the sort of thing they should show on news channels and remind people what the point of orbiting around the earth is all about. However I think the MJ thing is still going full steam...

It's too bad they didn't have and HD video camera to capture it with.

I can only guess it was done this way to provide source footage for media covering it.

But I imagine most viewers stopped watching after the first 10 unimpressive zoomed out speed up versions. As far as being a good sift, I like the other version.

Maybe this is one of those situations where we should just ignore the dupe rule.

I like the lenticular clouds forming on the leading edge of the updraft of the blast.
