Techinically, it was a pyroclastic flow comprised of gas and volcanic rock, known as tephra, traveling at upwards of 450mph. Seems worse than lava to me!
It is worse than lava, lava is by comparison slow (typically), you can side step lava, walk away from it a pyroclastic flow will kill you before you can brown your shorts.
It's SO much worse, it's like a massive cloud that you can't escape and you're basically put inside an oven that goes up to extreme temperatures and you're instantly cooked, crazy
