Where is the deadliest volcanic disaster in modern history associated with a pyroclastic flow?

Mount Pelée erupted in 1902 on the island of Martinique, then a French colony in the Caribbean. A fast-moving pyroclastic surge swept through Saint-Pierre, killing almost the entire population of the city, with estimates of around 29,000 deaths. The disaster became a classic example of the danger of pyroclastic flows, which can travel at tremendous speed and with extreme heat. Only a few people are widely reported to have survived the city center, including one prisoner protected by his cell.
