The last 3 times Yellowstone erupted were 2,100,000, 1,200,000, and 640,000 years ago, and they had destructive power equivalent to 6,000, 900, and 2,500 times the 1980 Mt. St. Helen's eruption, respectively.

If you were anywhere on this map when it erupted again, You probably wouldn't survive, regardless. It would be good to try and get away, and sure, having a gas mask would be great, but anyone actually in or near the park at the time would be dead almost instantly, regardless. We're talking about eruption capabilities that modern humans have never even seen yet. Chances are, humans might be long already on other planets by the time it erupts, hundreds of thousands of years from now. But if by some stroke of (mostly bad) luck it does erupt within the next few thousand years, it will no doubt be very tragic, yet incredibly glorious.


 
Something else interesting to consider is that the likelihood of it erupting in any given year is 1 in 700,000, whereas the likelihood of dying in a plane accident is roughly 1 in 11,000,000.


 
This means that, if you live and work in and around the park for 30 years, and my math is correct, you're statistically about 471 times more likely to die from the park exploding than from a plane crash, assuming you fly the same amount as the average human being does in your lifetime.


 
This figure is probably better at illustrating how _*unlikely_* you are to die in a plane crash than it is in illustrating the likelihood of Yellowstone erupting, but it is nonetheless inmteresting to think about.
