ON THIS DAY: In 1883, the biggest volcanic eruption of modern times occurred when Krakatoa, in Indonesia, blew its top, creating 120-foot tidal waves in an explosion heard 3000 miles away. Tom Hanks decides he will go out of this world with a volcanic bang in the 1990 comedy JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO -- he will jump into the volcano itself.
