Yellowstone eruption sends tourists running for cover

A “localized” hydrothermal explosion at Yellowstone National Park sent terrified people running and forced officials to close Biscuit Basin, which contains several geysers, on Tuesday, July 23, parks officials said. Dramatic video captured by Vlada March shows the moment of the explosion, which she described as a “once in a lifetime” experience. The explosion occurred near Sapphire Pool, which last erupted in 1991. “No injuries were reported and the extent of damage is unknown at this time,” parks officials said in a news release.
