They actually saw the pressure wave from the explosion in the pressure reading of gas towers in London, which indicate it passed through about 7 times! There's an excellent book on Krakatoa by Simon Winchester, which goes into the historical background, the geology and the events of the day. I read it in one sitting on a flight back from the states, highly recommended.
