Have you ever wondered what it would be like to witness the爆发 of a volcano so powerful that its impact is felt around the globe? Imagine a towering ash cloud, reaching heights nine times that of Mount Everest, and the sound of its eruption heard thousands of miles away. This is the story of Krakatoa, a volcanic island in the Sunda Strait that woke up from its slumber in 1883 with a force that changed history.
Have you ever wondered what lies beyond the threshold of life and death? What secrets do the moments between breaths hold? In 1977, Maria, a migrant worker, found herself face-to-face with this profound mystery when she went into cardiac arrest at a Seattle Hospital. During the resuscitation process, she found herself floating outside, witnessing the world from a vantage point no living person should experience. But Maria's story is not an isolated incident; it's part of a tapestry of experiences that have intrigued humanity for centuries.
