6 days after my 14th birthday. The tremor that triggered it woke me up that morning.
Up here in Vancouver Canada we had ash on our cars. Heard the boom too when it blew. Amazing
Love old news coverage. Unbelievable amazing so devastating
Was 15 years old when it happened. Blew up again in July. Watched it on my parent's roof. Got a quarter inch of ash all over.
It gave warnings 2months before in march1980 before may 1980
@LindaMerchant-pm8vn we didn't have anywhere else to go. Besides it was 106 miles away. What's worse is the future 9.0 Cascadia earthquake that effect 800 miles of coast and will make huge tsunami towards Asia. Watch the Cascadia earthquake videos. Nasty scenes.
when the news was news
If you just don't want to leave that's entirely your business (tips hat to Harry R. Truman), but when you cite "facts" like "We've had floods here before." and "We're 69 feet above sea level, so I wouldn't worry about it." when you're dealing with something of this magnitude then you just sound silly.
Harry R Truman was something else lol
Not harry s. Truman president
@@johnathanrush4666
A genuine character if ever there was.
He was a real piece of work that Harry Truman. He was 1 mile away and 7 k ft. Below ain't gonna touch me. Oh my poor buddy miss calculated.
@@bradr2142 I don't blame him. Everything he cared about was there (except for the Jack Daniel distillery).
What a piece of history
Why wasnt evacuations given
They were, but many people ignored the warnings and snuck past police barricades. Plus much of the destruction was outside the "red zone" where evacuations had been ordered.
My dad was skiing Hood when this happened
What a view he must've had! Didn't the blast ash and heat come close to Mt. Hood? Must've been so scary.
@@cherylcampbell9369 Said he just fell to his knees and watched. And that from where he was there were no immediate effects from it
@@whoppergoldstein5308 definitely the proper reaction.
WoW
I was a 12 year old when the mountain erupted. I lived with my parents in North Carolina and I remember we got a very thin layer of ash you could see on dark colored cars. Our sunsets for the next couple of weeks were incredibly beautiful due to the ash in the atmosphere.
If only the number had stayed at 8...
I love the weather man trying to explain the situation , back them they had no clue...
Watching this 1980s Newscast is like going back in time.
Hello inset of terrorism in valley, we are three hwys from coast cold waters inward
Maybe health problems, unk
They maybe wearing others and outsiders forgetble
Fifty years
is Bob foster still around?
America's Mt. Vesuvius
Mt. Rainier: [Looks at watch. Looks at Seattle. Smiles.] "Soon." 😈
4x weaker than Mt. Vesuvius.
collected ash in Idaho
The chamnel 2 news sounds like abc news intro
I was 11 years old when the mountain blew up. Didn't impact my life at all.
Everybody already talking bout the bulge.
That bulge was evidence in of itself the mountain was getting ready to blow
It is not "mother nature." God created our world in six days and the seventh-day (Saturday) He rested.
Modern science has progressed beyond the nonsense of Bronze Age fairytales.
Not buying the whole Dave Crockett deal. Especially the audio. Does not jive with reality. Perfect audio, clearly speaking....no way that happens with all the super heated ash in the air.
Conspiracy !!
His continued obscurity is the result of most people not buying it either
Permanent Death is also once in a lifetime
America was so beautiful when it was mostly white.
Covered ash it was.
Folks ???? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha!
Truth
If you wonder why so many people needlessly died that day in spite of the warnings, listen to the ones they interviewed. My Dog they are ignorant! Exactly the kind of people who when told to evacuate respond by yelling that they don't need the "government" to "tell them what they can and cannot do." Not everyone that day who died was a moron, but most were. They were totally aware of the warnings and chose to ignore them. 🔥⛰
Freedom of choice, regardless of the outcome.
