Been up to Mt St Helens multiple times, even camped on her south side once. She is among the most active in the Cascade Range, although the title of Most Active still does belong to Mt Rainier because she's constantly spewing out magma (lava once outside the volcano). The recovery of the area surrounding her is healing at a faster rate than originally thought. If the planet is left alone it can and will heal itself. RIP Dr Johnston and Harry Truman, the first victims of this eruption.
There is a new feature nearby Mt. St. Helens now, people are calling it the "Little Grand Canyon" , its a 1/40 scale version of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, the little grand canyon formed when the Tootle river was dammed by logs and mud then broke open and carved out the little canyon in a matter of hours or days, its amazing.
@@Tyrone181 GTC is absolutely correct. The news used to report the news....now they have to give you their opinions. News reporting today is nothing like it used to be.
I was living in the Ohio Valley when she blew. I was 9 years old and I can remember a pink sky with red sunrise and sunset for days. We watched all the news coverage from March until her last and final eruption. After moving to Bremerton washington in 2007 until 2020 people still talk about her and what devastation her ash caused Bremerton clear to Yakima and I have a friend who still lives in Yakima and he was 8 years old when he and his family couldn't go anywhere by automobile because the ash ruined their car so they had to walk where they needed to go. It's sad 57 we're killed.
I was 20 that day and I knew instantly that this massive landslide and eruption would be something most human beings will never see in a thousand years.
One of my friends grew up around St. Helens and even his brother worked for one of the smaller logging companies that worked for St. Helens. He said it was a miracle it blew on a Sunday. He said if it had happen on a Monday. There would have been a at least a couple hundred deaths instead of the 50 people who where killed.
I was 7 years old living in Eugene, Oregon when all of this was happening. My parents bought masks just in case, but there was very little ash blowing our way, thankfully! I imagined if the winds were blowing from the north, that would have been a different story.
Thanks for the video! I would disagree with ABC that the Earth is a "fragile planet". Nothing fragile can mess you up so bad like Earth when it decides to.
And Yellowstone erupting would be thousands of times what happened there. A Yellowstone eruption would probably kill over a million people in the first 24 hours. At 36:40 a crew is searching the landscape and you can hear the echo as he speaks. That doesn’t happen easily with upright trees with leaves on them.
Yea ol Truman went out with a bang ....50 year's bulit all that with no phone no road ,...he walked in there 20 miles with snow shoes....he owned the right to stay an go with what loved....
First watched this more than 25 years ago, when I was probably six or seven. First time I ever saw (or heard of) most of these journalists, as well as President Carter.
They Knew the logging camp was in danger but didn't care because they would lose too much money! We know that as a fact now. Edit: Dear Lord, he literally just said it's safe to breathe volcanic ash. They knew in 1980 this was not true lol
That would be Fred and Margery Rollins. They were part of a group of onlookers stationed at the WA Highway 504 roadblock east of Weyerhaeuser's Camp Baker when the eruption began. Unfortunately, they left too late after the lateral blast started coming their way, and their car was overtaken by the cloud on Spirit Lake Highway before they were able to get to safety. Both died due to ash asphyxiation, though Fred also had suffered burns as well. Fred's body was found next to their station wagon.
I was 10 years old and lived in Tacoma, WA. I was mad that Kids are People too was interrupted for breaking news, the mountain had erupted so I woke Mom up and we were both mad! 😂

My dad lived in Orville at the time and his said everything around the volcano was just covered in ash and my mom who lived in Texas said enough ash made it to Texas to make things a little hazy.
I was living in Colorado Rockies near Wyoming and we had ash for about three days. I was amazed because of the distance. I always say I would never live near a volcano but hell I live near one of the worst and larger ones ever. It’s Yellowstone. They say if it goes it could take out state’s even all of Kansas and yes Washington and other’s as well. So if it goes most of the west can kiss our ass good bye 👋
Yeah, if you’re frightened of them then it isn’t for you. But it’s actually a beautiful area. And we have warning systems in place and designed roads for escaping the dangerous lahars from volcano eruptions. On an unrelated subject, we also have designated roads for escaping tsunamis 🤣. Washington is beautiful but you do know what you’re getting when you live here

@@blueeyedsoulman ah, yes. Idaho: Washington’s overgrown goiter. But seriously, Yellowstone has always had volcanic activity and I doubt anything catastrophic will happen there in my lifetime. I also doubt WA, OR, N CA will see another eruption in my lifetime as well. AK and HI aren’t as lucky
Either it was people who had been camping and probably tried waiting it out a bit then noticed ash wasn't fading enough to help sight as much as they wanted OR...well, remember what species you're a part of. Tourists also brought their fucking children with them! We are unfortunately full of some great Darwin Award winners.
I seriously doubt tourists would be allowed into the area for a while, so I think your first explanation is a little more likely. That or it was a Journalist or Search & Rescue officer (though I don't think there'd be anyone left to rescue that close to ground zero).
Lynn Kayee I saw another news report showing a man, woman, and dog found alive. They were camping. I wonder if those were their prints. Three friends of theirs died.
@@lynnkayee1015 That's very disrespectful. 54 of the 57 deaths were outside the immediate danger area. They really didn't anticipate the volcano would blow up the way it did (sideways).
I forgot Carter was still President for another 8 months. You've got to feel sorry for the what the guy when through during his Presidency. Nice guy. Horrible President. Not to mention he was a natural disaster magnet.
It's not fake. I have friends who live in Bremerton, Washington, when Helen erupted, and they still reside there. They got 2" of ash as well as Seattle that day. I was 9 years old, and I remember watching the news coverage from March of 1980 until Helen erupted and when her ash cloud reached the Ohio Valley where I lived. I was 9 years old that year.
