For those who may not be aware, the video of the mountainside sliding at 1:17 is partially animated - sort of. The photographer at 0:55 (Keith Ronnholm) took a series of still photos, each several seconds apart, and years later a graphics crew used CG software to "fill in the frames" between Ronnholm's photos to stitch together this smooth timelapse. It's a remarkable job which gives a real-time impression of the devastating scale of the eruption.

To my knowledge there is no actual video footage of the eruption ever recorded. I lived in the vicinity of where this happened. I was 4 years old at the time. I remember being scared out of my mind to the point that I couldn't even sleep some nights. I remember one time my mom came into my room to check on me and I could hear her whisper to my dad I think he's finally asleep. To which I replied I'm still awake! Another time I remember finally falling asleep when it started to get light outside. When the eruption did occur I remember it snowing volcanic ash everywhere as if it were a heavy snow storm. I remember cars getting stranded everywhere because back then most cars used carburetors which were getting clogged with ash.

I was wondering why I had only seen stills of that. Thanks for the info.

The photo at 0:27 was of David A. Johnston, a vulcanologist who was only 10 miles away when the eruption happened 13 hours after this photo. He was the first to report the eruption, before it killed him. There was also a photographer named Robert Landsberg who was also a few miles away when it happened. He realized he was already dead, it just hadn't reached him yet, so he rewound the pictures he'd taken of the eruption, put the camera back in it's case and into his backpack, then lay on top of his pack to protect the film as much as possible. This allowed his pictures to actually be developed and provide documentation of the actual eruption to geologists.

Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent [turn away from your sins and don’t practice them] trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you.

I wasn't old enough to be someone who could say, "I remember where I was when Kennedy was shot." However, I was old enough to remember where I was and what I was doing when Mt. St. Helens erupted. I was in Woodinville, Washington, north of the mountain about 130 miles away. I was visiting my cousins and we were in the den watching tv when there was a light tremor and the news flash came on showing the eruption. We sat shocked by the awesome display of natural power and chaos that came on the screen. Luckily, we missed the worst of the ash cloud due to wind patterns, but we did get a light dusting over the course of the week. Mt. St. Helens was the main topic of interest for the rest of the year and then some. A year later, I visited Castlerock, Washington just 20 miles from the mountain for a festival the town held for surviving the event. It was quite sobering.

@banjohappy

I remember where I was when Kennedy was shot. I was in 7th grade gym class and Mr. Charcola came in and said "The president has been shot. School is being dismissed. Go to your lockers. Get your belongings. The buses are waiting outside to take you home." Nobody said he had died. A girl on the bus was crying, saying he was dead and we all ridiculed her. "They didn't say he was dead, just that he'd been shot." But she was right and we were wrong.

Based on melted items analyzed around the area - temperatures were above 300 degrees out to 11 miles away, and up to 700 degrees as far as 6 miles.

The sheer amount of energy it took to move one side of a mountain is mind boggling.

For nature...this is all effortless. There is no exertion involved in the happening of such phenomena. Gravity constantly drives one continental shelf against another. The result in powerful earthquakes that tumble dwellings and structures that took hundreds if not thousands of hours to construct in a matter of seconds.

Live in the Yakima valley. I was planting corn that day, it never was able to come up thru all the ash. Disked the field to mix in the ash and replanted. The ash was so rich, had a bumper crop. A lot of machinery was ruined because the ash was so fine and sharp. The next winter made several trip up there to snowmobile. You were on six feet or more of snow, all above the blown down timber. Made a number of trips before it all regrew up. One trip we made it quite a way up the mountain itself. Like many others won’t forget that day.

I lived in Sunnyside Washington when Mt. St. Helens made an ash of herself. That was the end of the school year and we were getting ready for graduation. When the ash cloud passed over the Yakima Valley the sun hit the ash cloud at just the right angle and it looked like a rolling river of blood.

"The public was shocked by the extent of the eruption, which had lowered the elevation of the summit by 1,313 feet (400 m), destroyed 230 square miles (596 km2) of woodland, and spread ash into other states and Canada. The lateral blast that killed Johnston started at 220 miles per hour (354 km/h) and accelerated to 670 miles per hour (1,078 km/h)." According to USGS Scientists, the top of the volcano basically became plugged and the pressure started to bulge out of the side. I think an earthquake triggered the event by loosening the ground and the pressure did the rest and ended up laterally erupting out the side of the volcano rather than straight up. Imagine how much land it would take to destroy 230 SQUARE Miles. Now imagine it is moving towards you at 670 miles per hour. That's hard to put in perspective. The cruising speed of a 747 is 570 mph. I agree. Just a land slide. LOL

Some places in E Wa (Ritzville, for example) had ash on the ground for several years. It was hysterical to me that people were actually selling it.

I saw this live & in person. It was astonishing. There was an old man named Harry Truman that lived in a cottage on Spirit Lake at the foot of Mt. St. Helen's that they tried to get to leave. He refused & they took off. I'm sure they will find him perfectly preserved in a few hundred years.

I never thought I'd see Peter Crouch and Anthony Hopkins in the same vid. Love it !

I remember the days leading up to and then after the eruption, the network news teams were getting interviews with scientists, park rangers, campers and a few residents. Two I remember. 1. A man who'd been camping by the mountain was buried under several feet of ash and mud when his car, traveling at 90 mph was overtaken by the mud. They know he was doing 90 because he was passed by a guy doing 110, who just made it out. 2. A guy in his 70s was interviewed about his refusal to leave. "I was born here, raised here, spent my whole life here. I ain't leaving." They found him weeks later. A rescue dog, a German Shepard, smelled him under 5 feet of mud. The rangers kept digging and digging and not finding anything. "Are you sure boy? You smell something?" And the dog kept giving all the signs. Finally they found him. The dog said "Told ya!"

The ground was shaking, thunder and lighting from these big bellowing dark clouds of ash. It rained down 4 inches of hot stinky smelling mud, then we had a foot of ash on top of that. It knocked out our power and we could not see the flower box out the window. 3 1/2 hours later we could see the cows still out in the pasture. Amazing they survived. If it would have blown the next day, Monday, I would be dead. It took over 4 months to get to the logging equipment where we were working.

May 18th 1980. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was 9, and it dumped hot ash everywhere in Banks, Oregon. We had to shovel our roofs to prevent them from collapsing. We had to wear masks when we went out for weeks afterward. It killed quite a bit of livestock on our farm. The horses panicked and ran off. By the time we found them, they were dead and covered in a fairly thick layer of ash. It was like a nightmare. It was daytime but looked like night when the ash cloud hit.
