Can anyone tell me anything about the eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano on November 13, 1985?

An explosive eruption from Ruiz's summit crater on November 13, 1985, at 9:08 p.m. generated an eruption column and sent a series of pyroclastic flows and surges across the volcano's broad ice-covered summit.

The eruption melted ice and snow on the summit resulting in large lahars which flowed down the volcano flooded several towns and killed over 20000 people.
