  2. Be kind and civil. Do not engage trolling and bad behavior, simply report it.
  3. This is an evergreen community. It is designed to be an archive that can be searched at anytime. No reposting is allowed. If an older video is dead or inaccessible, post a working version and tell a moderator which post you are replacing and why. (Some videos may not be viewable in all regions, in that case you should post a working mirror as a comment in the original post.)
  4. Voting is for moderation and visibility, not personal preference. If a post or comment breaks the rules, downvote and report it. If you personally don't care for what was posted, just move on.

If you are unsure, message a moderator.
  7. If a video is a few seconds longer than 5 minutes, it should still be okay. If it approaches 11 minutes, it had better be a very good video. Send the video to a moderator to find out if it can be posted. Videos that are 6 to 10 minutes long should be posted to !quickwatch@lemmy.world.
  8. Comments that expound upon the subject of the video and offer more information are highly encouraged. Comments that link out to long-form content, including longer videos with additional information related to the parent video, are allowed.

Terrifying moment tourists flee Mt Etna eruption in Italy

One of Europe’s largest volcanoes has erupted sending hot ash as high as five kilometres into the air.

Mt Etna, on the Italian island of Sicily close to the city of Catania, erupted on Monday.

Video shows people who were on the volcano running for safety. One tour firm told US broadcaster CNN that they had as many as 40 people on the volcano when it erupted. The Sicilian Civil Protection Agency said about a dozen tour operators work at the volcano at any given time.

No injuries have been reported.
