- This place in time: The Mount St. Helens story
Recounts through reenactments, personal recollections, and documentary narration, the earth-changing event and aftermath of the May 18, 1980, volcanic eruption of Mount St. Helens in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest of southwest Washington. The film represents the work of dozens of both professional and amateur cinematographers and still-photographers. The film leaves the viewer with a positive feeling that the devastated area will someday be beautiful again during the course of the earth-shattering and earth-healing process.

RIP Dave Johnston: You were an inspiration to geologists all over.
He earned the right to say I told you so. May God bless his soul
He was like a real USGS guy. Him and Harry. Gone to heaven together.
He was truly a courageous man, when the mountain erupted he knew he would not make it, he did it for science and I admire him for that. But it was like out of a movie "Vancouver Vancouver this is it!"
This is one of the best films about the mountain. I've seen almost all of them and even though this is older, it's also the closest to the time of the actual event, so you can feel the urgency. And the nonchalance of the guy eating a pickle.
Where's that pickle eating tree dude now. I'd like to he r e from him.
I was standing by at the Portland Airport with my ambulance to meet a Medevac when this happened across the Columbia River. We had no idea what it was at first.... looked like the biggest forest fire we'd ever seen. The next few weeks I remember the ash cleanup... Sobering reminder of mans' inability to control nature and how a few seconds of eruption changed both the landscape, the soil, the weather and global sunsets
My granfather Larry Vincent Brooks worked in the observatory in Mt St Helens. He built part of the White Tank mountain park. He is a great man. He is in the hospital now and almost died. I hope all that knew him, remember how great he was...
I was 16 yrs old and 40 miles west of the mountain when it blew. I watched it all day long from the Cowlitz/Wahkiakum county line. It was truely amazing!!
Thanks, it is nice to have video from that era. My mom's water bag broke when Mt St Helen's exploded and her name is Helen. When I traveled to washington this place was sacred to me, it was a sense of connection.
It's beautiful again with tree flourishing and clean air.. ...... I'll never forget the day it blew... What a memory.
Why couldn't most documentaries be this enchanting?
My mom's neighbor passed away when he was logging at Spirit Lake, his name was Thomas G. Gadwa and was from Montesano (where I was raised)
thanks Airboyd for posting this. i went to the mountain a few years after the blast and was utterly awestruck by the scene. i approached the mountain looking at the lee side of the ridges which were still heavily forest covered. and then i went around the bend in the road and was looking directly into the blast zone. i was dumbstruck by the moonscape that suddenly presented itself.
Am I the only one who felt sad about that poor old mans cats?
Nah didn't feel that sorry for the cats feel sorry for Truman.. a true man of his morals and values and went like he said if that mountain goes then I go with it.. sucks it ended that way for him after 50+ years plus his wife is buried there so yea I feel sorry for ol Truman the hell with those pussys..
gluebubble I know Right!!!!
I too, keep thinking about them and how that foolish old man killed them. Everyone had two full months of warning that an eruption was coming. And the experts failed to see the probability of a lateral eruption due to the fast growing bulge on the north side of the mountain.
Maybe I'm too hard on Harry. Though he should have, he probably couldn't have rounded up all of his cats. And might not have sny place to take them where he could be sure he would get them all back. But he probably didn't know exactly how many and what their names were. They were probably feral and he probably didn't feed them much or regular. He might've used them to keep mice and rats away
I watched another video before I saw this one and I was thinking the same thing I was feeling sorry for the cats. From what the experts say death would have been instantaneous so at least they felt no pain. Harry Truman was a character but he was not being selfish in staying close to danger. He said in an interview that was his whole life if he lost Spirit lake then his life would be over. He was 84 he lived a good life.
You can see the start of the eruption at 11:10
(for those who are impatient)
thank you for giving me a boost on my test!
Hard to believe it’s been 40 Years today!!!!
The 83 year old man took his life for his cabin he lived there for 50 years RIP
Sliczz AJ I know Right!!!
great video; sharing with grandson's 3rd grade class. Thanks for the post.
It is beautiful there today. Take vacation and visit this place.
i born on may 17/81 just a year and one dar after the eruption!! besides! Exelent documental..
I think we should have more of it. It's very educational and , can I say this, thrilling.
This Is Natures Queen Of All Volcanoes. It Is On My Bucket List To See Her North face. And Plausibly Go Closer To Her But Not To Close....
i am doing this for a sciece(or however you spell it) project thanks for putting it up
Best twenty-three minutes I have spent (in some time) on RUclips.
Look up Nick Zentner, if you're interested in geology. If you're not, he'll teach you to be.
Amazing footage of The Mount St. Helens.
Reg Thomas Agreed!!
In 2005 my dad and I headed up there, he had been up there a week before with his then girlfriend, It sucks because I took pictures but I still can't find the camera. It was a nice mountain, pardon me, is a nice mountain, as far as mountains go. Back in 1980 when it blew my mom and dad were on the Oregon coast for their one year wedding anniversary, they heard it.
this was the best video i could find on youtube
Thank you for putting up this older video. I haven't seen it anywhere else online, and being able to see the video they show (or at least, used to show) at the interpretive center is really wonderful.
St. Helens and Unzen, i was amazingly stunned over the explosion
It was almost like Pompeii...I remember this day very well.
So deviating I'm learning about this in school.
I was just there at Windy Ridge last weekend. 32 years later there are still many dead trees around but things are growing well. It was a cloudy/foggy day at 4000 feet so I only caught glimpses of the blast zone time to time.
The dirt overlook that they show in the video is now a paved parking lot with bathrooms and a monument. There is also a man made staircase going up the hill they show people climbing.
All in all a great visit.
So Upsetting :((( It looked wonderful
Caits Gray I know Right!!!!
To think, I was 9 years old during May 18, 1980. Having turned 9 on January 6, 1980. I can remember waking up to a pink sky and a red sunrise and going to bed to a red sunset. It was like that in the Ohio Valley for many days. I remember my parents having the local news on about Helen from March on. We didn't have family or friends that lived there. Then come 2007 my 2nd husband, our 2 daughters & I moved there to start a new life in Bremerton Washington. We'd hear the locals tell us about how bad it got in Bremerton & Seattle.
Very magical time for me
This mountain was a beautiful site but i was born in 87 :( it still looks pretty
A friend of my mother lost her husband during the eruption. He was camping at an area that was projected to be well outside the danger zone at the time. They never found his body.
Nice documentary !
IIK8
been awhile since I seen an 80's nature film they have a good style to them.
Thanks!
Great video! Beautiful place! Would love to see it myself some day! I wasn't even alive when this eruption happened but I love this volcanoe! Something very speical about it!
mindajane You’re right about that!!!
I was just a child when it blew up. Ash could be seen in the sky as far away as Lincoln NE. I thought it was awfully dark during the day for a few months during summer and it wasn't as warm as it normally would have been.
May they all Rest In Peace
Woah! The stills at 11:24 are amazing!
Thanks for posing this up!!!
Fletchersketche You’re right about that!!!
Drove by it 3 days before it erupted and when I drove back to Alberta, it was absolutely haunting with ash covering everything..the air filled like a fog..all the way back to Calgary...it was very haunting...
my mom and dad were like 5 and 6 and they were at school !! My dad said that him and some kids were standing waiting for the bus and thought it was snowing but it was ash and this was in wyoming !!
Awesome Beauty !
1BlueStarRising You’re right about that!!!
amazing, sad and happy at the same time. very nice video, im doing a project on volcanoes, and this is full of usefull info. thanks for posting
btw i watched this video to help me with my project for science thx
very informative!! This will help alot with my essay
Crazy wow there was even ash clouds in NEW YORK
Great footage , thanks !!!
express49 Yes it was!!!
This can help me teach my stuffed animals
жизнь прекрасна в любых ее проявлениях и на сколько сильно стремление жить!
i lived in Washington when mt st Helen"s blow we were on out way out of church when it happened i was only 12 when it happened
RIP David Johnston and Harry Truman.
And by enchanting I mean engaging.
At 17:16 that "expert" used the term "root-wads" for trees' root systems that have many roots all "wadded" together just below the surface of the ground. I believe the correct term for that is the "taproot".
I remember getting ash down here in Southern California. Thanks for posting this.
thnx for uploading helped me alot with a homework ;)
Thank you 4 posting this OMG amazing. one hell of a volcano
I remember being stuck for two weeks there it was bad stuff.
My dad was 7 years old when this happened and he was at mt. saint helens when this happened and we have some of hte ash from the eruption.
How can you get videos longer than 10 minutes?
a beautiful mountain destroyed by a massive eruption I do remember this it was on a Sunday I had heard that Mt. SAINT HELEN S had erupted no I was not there but in February 1980 on a visit to The Pacific Northwest I saw Mt. Saint Helen s in it s full shape for the last time May 18yh 2020 error May 18th 2020
robert moir 2020 check
this volcano was my first school project
this was sooo informative. thank you for making this as i have learned about it for my case study for my geography GCSE tomorrow :)
Did you pass?
@gluebubble
No you are not the only one to feel sad about the cats. I cried for days for them back in 1980, I was 18 years old. Then I said to myself that they all went together and are all together again now!
Sad but true.
this moviiiee is so amazinnggg way to goooo:)
5:50 the guy is on tv for probably the first time in his life and he cant wait 1 minute to finish his pickle.
Mike Barriga I know Right!!!
I was there not too long ago. You feel like an ant in a footprint. soooooo small...
@mikej5337 Yes, in 1981, a quickly produced film called St. Helens was released.
that's very good
This is a good display of how badly people assess the threats to their own safety or environment in the face of scientific evidence.
lucky for us near seattle it blew the other way. we barely got a trace of ash in Renton.
this was good but pretty sad because ppl get hurt when it erupts
I know it and you know it, but a lot of people think otherwise, so play to it.
Subject to your opinion, yes. I am majoring in it, therefore let people make their own interpretation. I find it fascinating considering if it weren't for Geology you wouldn't be breathing, typing on your computer, nor cooking food or living in a house.
wow.wow
hell I was 3 yrs old when mt st helens blew I was living in walla walla at the time playing outside I was born and raised in washington st and some of the ash did make it towards walla walla
5:45 "Well except of course the possibility of the north side of the mountain falling off of it there simply is nothing to be scared of!" *finishes pickle*
R.I.P chewing deer!!
Was Truman’s lodge buried
The damage to wildlife and the environment is horrible. Someone should have been sued.
hello ppl from hethersett
hello!
hi!
Spettacolare
And the volcano Ash cloud comes and you take first breath goes into your inside second breaths your insides turn to stone wow your really not scared ....
The ash from the eruption actually caused regional cooling
Oh my god
i wasnt even born yet wen tht happened
Don't worry, he died instantly when the 1,830 F degree pyroclastic flow swept over his lodge turning the water in his brain cells into steam and exploding his head just like with the bodies found after the 1902 Mount Pelee eruption.
10:21
RAINBOW!!!
This is what I notice.
nice old video...
"There's no danger of the mountain exploding" says the hick with the twinkie...I'm convinced
This was a small eruption, compared to Pinatubo(1991,~240 megatons), Krakatau(erupted 1883,~1000 megatons) and Tambora (1815, ~4000 megatons) or even the supervolcano Taupo (erupted about 22,600 years ago, ~24 gigatons), and still had half of the power of the biggest bomb humans ever built. And don´t forget: the estimated energy on the eruption doesn´t cause the major damage, as seen in the clip above. So on this one you still may be right, in general elliotdubois14 is. ;)
Oh, and i forgot to mention the Yellowstone, who is about to erupt in probably the next few 1,000 years. His 3 major eruptions in the past each had a yield of 30-50 gigatons...
The entire area around St Helens will recover to pre eruption appearance in about 200 years.In human terms,this might as well be an eternity,but the earth lives and breathes on an entirely different timeline that is hard for us to conceive.If you think of the entire history of the planet in terms of a 24 hour day,we(humanity)showed up at about 23:59.....200 years is the blink of an eye to the earth.
Life finds a way...
Surprised to see the revival of natural sturdiness and seedling trees and creatures despite a huge volcanic explosion and collapse.
I get lost as many as 20,000 dead and tsunami in Japan where I live.
But eventually you should be back to the original.
at least there is footage of David Johnston in this documentary.
