- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- One of the numerous interviews done with Harry Truman on April 18, 1980, month before he died and a fan made animation of what probably happened on that fateful day when Mount Saint Helens erupted.
Edit 5th May 2019: As I learnt from the comments, the author of the animation which starts around 5:23 is a guy called Deviantart King of 97. Check his channel here, he has some videos about Mt. St. Helens too: / channel

Let's all appreciate how good this video is
well he lived a long fulfilling and seemingly happy life in a amazingly beautiful location!!! , more than can be said for most of us nowadays!! RIP Harry
& achieved world wide notoriety and went out with a bang :)
When your life is the mountain, you die with it and rest in peace.
Mr. Truman knew if he fled and survived he would live the rest of his days in a nursing home.
Met Harry many times in the 50s and 60s he was a character he will not be for gotten
It is better to live one day as a lion than hundred years as a sheep
My only problem with Harry is he likely convinced others it was safe to stay where they were as well, and got them killed also.
No, this was pure stupidity. If he wanted to die, he could have at least had someone take his cats so they didn’t have to die too. If I wanted to leave this world, I sure as hell wouldn’t take my babies with me.
Rest in peace Harry.
@1:14 Dude with the glasses just stepped off the set of “They Live” 😂
Having moved multiple times, I totally get why he stayed.
...and an est. 175,000 animals were killed, and Harrys cats. Poor animals, didn't know what hit 'em. :-(
If it makes you feel any better they were vaporized almost instantly. Their nervous systems weren't intact long enough to register any pain sensations.
@@twistedyogertHarry's either humans are animals too.
Only one I feel sorry is Harry and his animals cat, dogs ragoons he fed etc.
I felt sad also thinking about the cats.
Apparently the sheriff's on their last visit to persuade him to leave left their car door open whilst talking to him and a 🐈 hopped in and when they drove away they apparently realised that they had a stowaway
at the time i was 10 years old and living 525 miles to the south and i can remember one afternoon it was snowing ash and my dad telling us that the volcano blew up where we had just went camping a few months prior..
well said harry, had 83 great years so why the hell would i want to be 84 anywhere else? if you have to give up the place you love and lived at for so long. fuuuck that im stayin
wow thank you. i hope more people see this
I grew up here. We were kids finding pumice rocks in our yard for years afterwards. Scratched the hell out of the bathroom sink and bathtub!
The depiction of the eruption was ofly slow. From the moment David Johnston started his last transmission to the moment he was silenced was all the time it took for the searing supersonic 660°F pyroclastic flow to travel five miles to Johnston Ridge.
Actually this is not exactly true. The original transmission was: ,,Vancouver, Vancouver this is it! Vancouver, is the transmiter on??"
It's "awfully".but you can spell pyroclastic. Wow.👌🤷♀️
I feel sorry for the cats.
At least it was instant
I feel sorry for Truman I totally understand if you don't well speechless..
@@dwizzleusa4202
We feel sorry for you.
Are you human? RIP Harry Truman and well the cats yeahhh. You feel for the cats but nothing for Truman.. I respect his choice lived there for over 50 years like he said if I left and lost my place I wouldn't last a week he couldn't stand it so he said if this damn thing takes this mountain I'm gonna go with it! True American stand up for what you believe.
@@dwizzleusa4202 "Are you human?" - what does that even mean?
Who knows maybe someday someone will dig down deep enough and dig up old Harry's Lodge.
Never will happen nothing there. The first 6 miles from mountain was blasted to bare bedrock then the landslide filled the toutle River valley up to 600ft of landslide debris and ask. Harry lodge was blasted to nothing. Spirit lake was filled with 200ft of mud so the bottom of the lake now is above the former surface of the lake
@@dwizzleusa4202
I bet his last words were "I'll be damned".
that lake and harry were vaporized, not gonna happen haha
@@dwizzleusa4202 yeah that blast overtook the landslide quick, vaporized in seconds then burried under 1000 feet of chaos. lake was probably turned to vapor before landslide even got there.
RIP Harry and cats.😿
He had a dog and ragoons too.
stunning animation! thanks for this.wondering how you got the pics of Truman and Johnson just hours before they died? did the cameras survive? whoever took the pics got the heck out? just curious.
The picture of David is well known in poublic, and was taken by his colleague Harry Glicken. And Harry was photographed by Rob Smith, who is last known person to talk and visit him on Saturday evening.
Why would he want to be any where but in his home he loved the lake
Why would he want to be any where but in his home he loved the lakelm watching this almost 42 years later this was favorite place as a child spend with my grandmother we all know Harry
pic of johnston was taken 13 hours earlier by his colleague
@@arlitabeard7693 exactly, especially at his age and everything he knows is up there, shit i domt have any reasom to be there and id gladly take in the view that johnston had when my time is up, once in a lifetime view....
I'm amazed at the new video of Mt St Helen's i find!
This video would have been even better if they had included a segment for Gerry Martin as well.
"It's going to get me, too. We can't get out of here."
Nicely done!
He must have been the 1980 most stubbornness man of the year for his refusal to leave the Mount St. Helens area.
why would he want to leave? so he could be 84 years old at some motel and see how his whole life was burried and scorched earth? for what
83 years old heck who could blame him he went out by his own rules
Nah he went out by mother natures rules. He just let it happen that way.
I understand why Harry stayed, but why was David Johnston there? David predicted the mountain would erupt just as it had and he warned everyone about the danger of the mountain. He wasn't in any denial about it erupting and he had his whole life ahead of him. What was he thinking? He was only 30.
He didn't realise like anyone else just how sudden and violent it was to be
Poor kitties. R.I.P.
They never took his land or move his sign
Nature listens to no man. She took it all.
He died in the mudslide and land slide
Actually the pyroclastic flows were faster as seen in animation, it overcame the landslide
Heat blast of 800~1000° killed him in under a second, "long" b4 the lahar got to the lodge.
@@Goro488 yep, it might of been close but the heat and blast at almost the speed of sound probably turned his lodge and the lake to glass right as it got burried
@@sunglassshinpan1352 maybe not long before, cuz that was a huge landslide....half a mountain slides off its gonna cover miles in seconds
Harry Truman was true to himself. Without Spirit lake his home his life would be over..... Like he said in an interview he might as well just go down with the ship. I can just imagine he looked the mountain straight in the eye that morning as it blew.😢
"And he had a theory"
Dear God! That's not a theory. It's not even a hypothesis. It's at best a 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙢𝙨𝙮.
Very interesting character though. You almost can't help but like the guy.
What´s whimsy?
@@Goro488 please elaborate, Jamie.
This day and age he would’ve been arrested and forced to leave.
arrested and forced to be fully vaxxed beforr he can go home haha
@@marked4death076 Always one in every crowd: "one" defined as someone who injects a modern-day example of a general assertion - being "forced" (using the term ambiguously, of course) to be "fully vaxxed[sic] - into an event different entirely in subject matter - "being forced" to vacate an area for a pending natural disaster, a volcanic eruption - and who not only deems he has made a valid point, but also believes his point is so obvious he must laugh. 🙄
Oh man those graphics. And one heck of a slow eruption lol
Do geysers slow down before an eruption ...cause i cant find anything on that
I was born and raised in Washington State. I was ok with him eating crow and coming off the mountain. I lived in Port Angeles at the time and felt like a house in our neighborhood exploded. Our front picture window shook so hard I thought it was going to break. RIP
You should have just left the video end with the birds singing and pictures of the mountain before the eruption.
Why?
The narrator voice sounds just like Peter Fonda.
😮
mans should have at least let them take the cats like dam
He didn't believe it'd get him.
I loved u harry
Why would he stay.
He didn´t want to leave his life behind
He loved the mountain and the lake had he seen it after it probably would have killed him
+Mark
You must be under 20..
@@sunglassshinpan1352 Well, I am 24, it´s not about the age
@@Goro488 I'm 33 all be 34 this October and you're correct any age can enjoy learning about mount st helens.
im getting a truman and st helens tattoo for sure
Tattoo are disfigurement
He's an anti hero why would you.
The power of that volcano was WAY WORSE than an atomic bomb, lol. It was more like five HUNDRED atomic bombs.
Actually 1600 bombs.
@@Goro488 you know your shit! good on you mate.....i shall subscribe
Harry, how wrong you were.
He was stubborn old man and it unfortunately cost him his life
He was stubborn but he accepted his fate
And seemed like a mean old drunk. But he went the way he chose.
cgi sucks in this
RIP Harry, I am 67 and live on the beach in the Tropics, prone to Tsanmis, and will stand my ground if one was to take me out during a Typoon!
Not sure what that will accomplish for you but ok
A classic case of someone who thought he knew better than the actual scientists that studied volcanoes.he predicted a south eruption not a North one...even though the volcano had a northern bulge.maybe he was scared and was hoping it would go south instead...
He was just a stubborn grumpy old man that got what he wanted plain and simple
He lived an amazing life
he sentenced himself and those cats to die.terrible choice.for some reason he wouldnt go to the lower 48.running from someone or something.he couldve always went back.cruelty to animals!!
He was a crimudgen, and came across as itritable an irritating to interact with,,,
Hell yeah! I love old dudes like Harry.
Alcoholic.
General Davion, and Sokha, I want you to take all fake David Johnston that doesn't put David Johnston Employee in the end on a Computer offline, asap, including online on RUclips. Tell them also I will message them online, also question them did they typed it, is it their Finger, is it their Voice? If NOT, tell them Money will be hunting them down period.
Did they ever find his body?
No. And how would they? He was either vaporized or buried 150 feet below the earth.
