Volcanic artifacts from St. Pierre

Just a few posts ago I said that one of five movies I'd like to see made would be a realistic one about the Mount Pelee eruption that destroyed the city of St. Pierre, Martinique.    Given the advances in CGI special effects even since Dante's Peak, the volcanic eruption should look pretty good (imagine Pompeii, but with turn of the century Caribbean French people).  But it was also a story about staying in town when everyone should have gotten out before the volcano unleashed its nuee ardente - not that anybody really knew it would.

Well, interestingly, a museum exhibit opened that displayed artifacts from St. Pierre, collected soon after the devastating eruption.  The amount of heat that would fuse stacks of glasses in a restaurant is phenomenal.
