It appears the fire pure-bred silence as seen from CCTV at 01:16 pm.

Cold lava depositing is generally observed in all the rivers that disgorge at Merapi. At the Pugonglor bridge the stream was observed as high as two meters with brown lava flows that carry sediment material without carrying a heavy material in the form of wood or rocks. While the lava flow in Sayidan River was recorded as high as 0.5 meter.
