Does the footage look slo-mo to anyone else? Is that really how lava (magma, idk what its called) actually move through the air?

I think it’s a trick of the mind. The “flames” can be 100 meters tall, hence the magma just looks as it moves slowly at a distance.
To help discern scale, scrub to 23:22:00, when a helicopter flies over
And 22:17 from where it erupts!
