<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 26541955, member: 31533"]1902 - Eruption of Mount Pelée in the Caribbean. One of the few people out of 30,000 to survive was a prisoner who only survived because he had been placed in a solitary confinement cell that happened to have no windows, had only a narrow slit in the door that was closed and that slit was facing out to the sea. Not sure of what saved the other two people, but it was an event that was basically 'unsurvivable' for everyone on the island and in the harbor on ships. He was found four days later and was burned because of the heat that still was able to get in his cell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
