Mount St. Helens Eruption. The Gary Rosenquist, AI interpolated landslide and eruption sequence.

Ғылым және технология

It is very hard not to watch this and get a lump in the throat.
For three decades, I have often wondered what it was like as Gerry Martin recorded his last words and what others around the area saw as the scene unfolded.
It is harrowing, indeed. Especially now, being able to listen to Gerry Martin's HAM radio recording synced to the real-time speed of the eruption via a synthetic AI interpolation of the Gary Rosenquist sequence.
This is the next to last step in recreating that event. This year, I will be using this video on a tablet at Mount St. Helens, showing others what happened on that fateful Sunday in May.
Worthy of note, this not only includes Gerry Martin's recording (the first two and a half minutes of it), but also an AI-synthesized, computer generated landslide sequence based off of the Rosenquist sequence itself.
I am pretty proud of this one.

    NOTE: I have had to delete a few comments in the last several months on this video. A lot of those comments have related to unduly harsh criticisms of the AI interpolation process, and some have related to calling this fake. One comment even suggested that this is not how it looked, even in spite of personal testimony from the photographer that took these photos, stating otherwise. As such, I am instituting a ground rule for my videos going forward. Any comment applying criticisms toward the AI interpolation process or appearance, no matter their nature, will be deleted. This is because of the fact that the source data for this interpolation was not captured at a regularly-timed interval. Twenty-three photos comprise the sequence, and six of those photos have been determined to have gaps of roughly three seconds between them, while others are just a second and a half apart. The entire sequence was captured in a thirty-six second time frame. As such, it is extremely difficult, even with the most advanced interpolation methods currently possible, to create a seamless, 100% realistic interpolation of the original photographic sequence. One comment even went so far as to suggest that Hollywood could have done a better job. As evidenced by the outlandish and highly unrealistic depictions newer documentaries have done to this sequence, I'd suggest otherwise. The reason this particular interpolation looks rough is simple: It's based on a set of original source images captured from a standard-definition documentary that aired in 1990. The screenshots taken of the sequence in that documentary, while decent, were insufficient for the methods applied. They were improved using AI sharpening and enhancement methods, yet still did not match the quality and resolution of the original sequence. As such, the interpolation had a lot of missing "data" to fill in. Since this interpolation, a greater-resolution product was produced ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/pHhhtM6dcrTeZ7g.html ) , however even further work is currently in progress.

    That final image is one of a kind. If you don’t know anything about volcanoes, what you’re essentially looking at is just about the most destructive force of nature on earth hidden within that cloud. That cloud is full of poisonous gases a thousand degrees hot and it’s blowing through the forest like a hurricane. Truly terrifying but an amazing event that happened in our world’s history, and fortunately we were able to document it and study it. Shows how incredible nature is and how far we’ve come along with it. We should never stop advancing and forward thinking. Our purpose in life is to create, not destroy.

    Thank you very much for creating the video I've been wanting to see since I was 7 years old; the Rosenquist sequence photos with Martin's recording. I've had immense interest in the May 18 eruption for 33 years; an interest to the point that I can also commend you on the sources you cited. "In the Path of Destruction" is by far the best book I've ever read on the subject and the January 1981 National Geographic article is still just as riveting as it was when I read it as a child back in the 1980's. From the standpoint of someone who has read the books and articles, I feel your video captured the same exposition the texts created. A scholarly video based on scholarly reference. Well Done, Sir. P.S. I've always wanted to see what it looked like from Spirit Lake around Ol' Harry's lodge... to see what Harry saw or what David saw...I can only imagine how it would feel at that moment in time. It would be like seeing the waving hand of God.

    A friend and I hiked into and camped at a small high mountain lake in So. Oregon on 5/17. Savoring the solitude on that early Sunday morning we heard a distinct boom in the distance. After listening to the news after arriving home later that day I thought about the time frame of the sound we had heard. A local newspaper the next day stated that there numerous reports of a boom in the region and after contacting the regional airport, there were no planes in the airspace to have caused a sonic boom. I'm quite certain that although being 250 miles south I indeed heard Mt. Saint Helen's blow!

    I have heard that sometimes, the lower frequencies from volcanic eruptions can rebound off of layers in the atmosphere. I was in Corvallis, Oregon on May 18, 1980, and I remember waking up to a loud booming noise a good hour before we'd normally get up and prep for church. No one else in my family remembers hearing it, though we all did get up around that time - which was unusual. That's a distance of 195 miles, so my description of the sound was pretty casually dismissed as the overenthusiastic ramblings of a child.

    There were many such reports that day. From what I have read, people near the mountain didn't hear it but people over 100 miles away heard and *felt* a huge pressure wave. Something about the wave going mostly up and out before hitting an atmospheric layer that diffracted it down again.

    As a Boy Scout in the early '60s our Troop spent a week at a campground on the edge of Spirit Lake, very near the foot of the Mt St Helens. At the time of the eruption I was 29 and I lived in small town in Oregon about 60 miles southwest of the mountain, and everyone there could see the eruption cloud as well as later "steam eruptions". We got ashfall a couple of times but fortunately for us it wasn't heavy although even a light dusting of that stuff caused problems, especially for people who breathed in even small amounts. What comes from an eruption isn't really ash, rather tiny particles of pumice stone. Towns east of the mountain received repeated coverings of it, sometimes a foot or more deep.

    I once read a story about a guy who lived in the Los Angelos area, and as a small boy, experienced a fair sized eartquake there. This shook him out of bed in the middle of the night and frightened him quite deeply, and he vowed to himself to move away from that place. Life, as it often does, got busy, he married and started a family, but he never forgot his pledge to himself about moving. Finally, in his late twenties, he made the move clear out of California and bought a small plot of a few acres of land.....on the lower slopes of Mt St Helens in the state of Washington. Not too long after moving there, the mountain started rumbling, eventually unleashing the enormous blast it did and covered so much with ashes, including his place. I'm not sure of where he eventually relocated after that, but rumor has it he moved to some relatives of his in Oklahoma....right in 'Tornado Alley'. BHE

    I've hiked several times at MSH. A few years ago, we hiked from Windy Ridge out to Loowitt Falls. We stopped at Bear Meadow where these photos were taken. Unless you have stood there, you can't imagine how big this event was. It was gigantic. Half a mountain sliding away followed by that massive lateral blast. These people were lucky to survive. The road to get there is not a straight drive. It's a very twisty and turning mountain road. If the eruption had happened before sunrise, they wouldn't have seen the lateral blast coming and all would have died.

    The eruption came within one third of a mile of Bear Meadows, but did not directly impact it by way of blast damage. In fact, only five inches of ash and pumice (tephra) deposits were recorded. I too, have spent a ton of time at Mount St. Helens (including sixteen visits to the Bear Meadow site alone just last year) and I've interacted personally with Rosenquist via a Facebook group, and Keith Ronnholm (who was just seventy feet away from Rosenquist) in person. Had Rosenquist, Ronnholm and the others who were there at Bear Meadow even had chose to stay, they would have survived.

    I was a teenager in Seattle as St.Helens swelled , then blew. We watched an eruption it had later thru binoculars (100 miles away , looking down Puget Sound ) and could see car sized rocks flying out of the ash clouds. Flying in a 727 at night to Ca. , I think in same year, the pilot tipped wing and we could see the red - orange crater glowing in a circle. The lava dome then grew out of the pit and made for great time lapse videos by Usgs. Mt.Rainier looms over Seattle and our Kent valley is built on a 30’ deep mudflow . While digging foundations, there have been stumps of Cedar trees uncovered with bark shredded to the North . Hoping we don’t see a bigger version of St. Helens .

    Robert Landsburg died while trying to document the eruption of Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980. Landsburg was a photographer who found himself near the volcano when it erupted. Instead of fleeing to safety, he chose to stay and continue taking photographs in an attempt to document the event. As the eruption intensified, Landsburg realized he wouldn't survive. In his final moments, he placed his camera inside his backpack to protect the film and lay on top of it, shielding it with his own body. Landsburg's body was later found, and his camera and film were recovered. His courageous actions provided valuable documentation of the eruption and its destructive force.

    I wonder if they could have dropped a bunker buster on the mountain a few days in advance and let the gasses leak out so there was no massive eruption. Sorta like, popping a tiny hole in an air mattress and letting the air escape slowly.

    That wouldn't have worked. In fact, it would have likely started the eruption we saw on May 18, at that moment it was tried. The north flank was literally *that* unstable. There was so much in the way of trapped gases inside the rock, let alone superheated ground water, that puncturing it would've been like shooting open a pressure cooker without venting it properly first.

    I feel this mountain had been holding alot of ice inside it... as the volcano had warmed up, the side of the mountain had got water logged and softened the mountain enough that the eruption would blow out to the area of least resistance..

    I am in agreement with that assessment. I suspect that, because St. Helens had once shed its north side once before (it's how Spirit Lake was formed), a series of successive lava domes began overlapping a prehistoric crater glacier, and all that glacial ice was concealed beneath the pre-1980 north flank edifice. I further suspect that all of that melt "lubricated" the first slide block's detachment slip plane, and was embedded within slide block 2. I am working on a 4K version of this with high resolution copies of the original sequence, and if you examine the motion of slide block number 1, the entire mass appears to be moving on a hidden 'cushion' of air, but instead I think it was water. That explains why eyewitnesses Keith and Dorothy Stoffel, and photographers Gary Rosenquist and Keith Ronnholm both say the entire slide slid down as a gigantic "mostly intact "mass." It's a theory I've come to agreement with because of the sheer magnitude of the lahar sequences that swept the Toutle. Over the last several days I've been upscaling all of the film stock Otto Sieber used in his documentary "Keeper of the Fire." The pre-1980 glacial ice mass of Loowit, Leschi, Wishbone and Forsyth glaciers was pretty massive, but alone, I just don't think they melted that fast nor had that much melt off. There had to be additional sources of water for how massive and intense the lahars were on the Toutle that day.

    Personal video cameras were still rare in 1980, and those that existed weren't the greatest quality. The next time there is a big eruption in the United States (and it is a question of "when"), there will be plenty of hi-def coverage.

    No. It is an interpolation based on twenty-two still images taken over a span of 36.2 seconds. It is even stated in the video's opening text. The only footage that does exist and that was captured of the eruption's beginnings, was shot from the west side, and was silhouetted against the sky. It also misses the first 40 seconds.
