Mount Pelée bubbled and smoked over the town of St. Pierre, but there were elections happening in the town. Would it be better to evacuate the whole city on the off chance the volcano decided to erupt? Or should town officials downplay the danger and try to keep the town safe? Considering the show, you can guess which was chosen. This episode covers the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelée and aftermath that followed. It was the worst volcanic disaster of the 20th century, and one of the worst natural disasters on record.
