(CNN)Guatemala's Fuego volcano erupted for the second time this year, killing at least 25 people and leaving dazed residents covered in ash as they searched for loved ones.

The volcanic eruption Sunday spewed a river of red, hot lava and belched thick clouds of smoke nearly six miles into the air, according to the CONRED, the government agency for disaster reduction. In addition to the fatalities, 20 others were injured, it said.
Guatemala's President Jimmy Morales declared three days of national mourning. Survivors described the horror and destruction during the eruption.
"Not everyone escaped, I think they were buried," Survivor Consuelo Hernandez said. "We saw the lava was pouring through the corn fields and we ran towards a hill."
Hernandez told officials from the disaster agency that some of her relatives were buried.

Wasn't lava that killed them though. Was the pyroclastic flow which is hot gases and ash.

I'd rather go like this man. Instant end to the suffering.

Archaeologists at Pompeii have uncovered the remains of an unfortunate man who was decapitated by an enormous rock while fleeing the volcano.

Nearby Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, killing many Pompeii residents and famously freezing them in place.

This skeleton appears to be from a man who survived the initial explosion and was fleeing the doomed city.

Can't run from a pyroclastic flow.

People always underestimate the speed of these things and stand around recording a video for twitter. Then they will find the fossilized corpse in an archeological dig 2000 years later.
