1991 - Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines blew its top beginning a rampage that would hurl debris as high as 100,000 feet into the sky. Material from the eruption would spread around the globe, leading to climate changes worldwide as the sun's energy was blocked out and global temperatures cooled by as much as 1 degree F. 343 people were killed in the Philippines as a result of the eruptions and 200,000 were left homeless. *
