Simply amazing. I've heard the projectiles you see emanating from the smoke during the explosion described as "house size." Ferociousness of nature at its peak.

Very large house-sized, in fact some of them were close to the size of the present-day observatory building at Johnston Ridge. The sheer forces within that explosion to hurl projectiles that large, at such great distances (and at such a great height, since they were close to 9,600 feet in elevation), just boggles my mind.

@@srosenow98 Now THAT blows my mind to no end! Thank you for your insight!

My mom was on a field trip in Seattle during her 18th birthday when this erupted and I grew up hearing the stories about how it was as if it began to snow ash and eventually day became night from how much the sun was blocked out by the ash cloud. Crazy.

Mother nature got so much power. Its incredible to see one of the largest erupts ever. Great footage, reminds me every day nature is way stronger than we are. Thank you so much for uploading.

I've seen the original 'time-lapse' clip many times, but this one is the clearest I've seen so far. It's clear enough for me to see something I'd read about in a text-book chapter on the Mt St Helens flank collapse, but had not properly understood, namely that the collapse didn't happen all at once. I'd read, and seen an illustration, showing that the collapse happened in three stages, with each successive stage taking another significant chunk out of the cone. To be honest, I thought it had all happened too fast for the human eye to differentiate between the stages, but, watching this new time lapse carefully, I could see each section collapse as it occurred, despite the lateral volcanic blast starting as the first chunk of the mountain collapsed.

Stunning and incredible. Thanks for posting.

My Dad calls the day of this eruption the day my maternal grandma accepted him at last. First he got chased out of the house by grandma waving a cast iron skillet and screaming in Swedish at him. Second, he rolled his car and ended up at the hospital with wrenched ligaments in both knees. Third, my mom and my grandma picked him up from the hospital and took him back home. Finally, grandpa did a more through work up on him and declared him healthy with bruised kneecaps and mild whiplash. Six months later, he and mom were married. Mom was given that cast iron skillet, which was later given to my older sister on her wedding day. No one is sure of the skillet’s actual age. Rumors claim it was forged during the 1400s, which I highly doubt. It’s probably not the same skillet, but a skillet traveled to America with my great great great grandma, most likely during early to mid 1800s. Before the eruption began, my grandpa went and got his clinic stocked with extra supplies and put out word to mask up before going out, even if there’s no ash fall in the area during and after the eruption. There were a number cases of Ash Lung after the eruption. Ash Lung is the result of breathing in ash. Ash is actually glass that’s been ground into dust. Breathing that in is going to cut up your lungs. The medical term is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Long word. Even us medical professionals won’t attempt to pronounce the word. We use the term Ash Lung instead.

I saw lightning in the first part of the ashcloud. Amazing capture. Well done. Glad y'all survived. Too bad David Johnston, who was 2 miles closer, didn't make it

Thank you. I am still working on refining it as I type this reply, and a subsequent version on my channel has a morphed landslide sequence (Ver. 2) that is also synced with the Gerry Martin audio recording.

Hey, the AI-tool worked quiet well....which tool did you use to interpolate the pictures?

Today, everyone has a camera on them with their phones. Take for granted that this wasn't the case in 1980. Truly amazing that the onset of the eruption was captured in photos

if only the text could move even faster so i could read less of it

Scale is massive. Mid-Town Manhattan could fit in front if the mountain

I have a jar of volcanic ash from this eruption that was filled and sealed 3 days after it popped...I've always wondered if it was rare or unusual

I can only imagine what it would have been like to watch this happen right in front of me. That anyone had the presence of mind to snap photos is incredible! I'd either be rooted to the spot with my jaw on the ground or running like a scared rabbit the other way.

Why did they tear down this mountain they should have left it like it was and left it alone

It was nature, gravity, and geologic forces that tore the mountain down. Just FYI.

Hiroshima 15 kilotons , Nature make St Helens go bang with estimates 10-50 Megatons , what an insane sight and experience to behold and a terrible place to be for those in the path of that destruction..
