Eruption, shockwave caught on camera in Papua New Guinea

Philip McNamara was on a boat off the coast of Papua New Guinea filming Mount Tavurvu in the distance when the volcano exploded, sending up a plume of ash and smoke. http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/papua-new-guinea-eruption-caught-on-camera/35453/

That was epic, you can see the clouds disintegrate with the shockwave.

if you were that close to Tambora or Krakatoa when they erupted I doubt you (or your camera) would live to tell the tale!
