This is the epitome of why RU-vid is the greatest website on the planet. Growing up in the 80s, where would you find this stuff? You couldnt. I love archival news stuff. Amazing video. Thank you for uploading.

@martynshore5134 Год назад

Exactly. All the stuff I was probably too young to fully take in or wasn’t born for I can now view If you would tell a 15 yr old me this would eventually happen I wouldn’t have believed you

@allnamesaretakenb4 День назад

Well, plenty of reasons why youtube is the worst website on the planet as well... but yes, it has certainly made historical videos as these much more accessible.

RIP To the 57 people and thousands of animals who were killed in the eruption of Mount St. Helens

I saw Mount Saint Helens erupt from Portland. It was cloudy that Sunday morning and you couldn’t see the mountain so I went to a viewpoint that I knew I could see the mountain over in Northeast Portland and I was amazed when through the clouds I could see these odd cauliflower shapes moving upward and then I knew that I was seeing the eruption. Around noon the clouds lifted and it became sunny and clear in Portland and I remember looking almost straight up from A vantage point in the center of Portland, close to 40 miles away and seeing the ash cloud up in the stratosphere seemingly right above me. You can’t describe how huge this event was unless you were there and it almost never reads properly on film or video.

It's freaky to think about people are fighting for their lives or dead on the other side of the mountain! 😔

I was 3 years old when Dad gathered us all into the pickup truck and drove us to East Olympia to watch the Volcano erupt from the back field of Ruddle Road General store. My Uncle Dennis lived in Castle Rock and took us up the old washed out road to the mountain that summer, we collected coffee cans of ash and took pictures of the devastation etc. This was the event of my childhood!

@BOBMAN1980 2 года назад

I was five or six when this happened. Even though I lived in Arizona at the time, the coverage of this event then, and for years after, had me believing that volcano eruptions were a far greater existential event, and more common, than they ended up being.

Richard Ross. Now that's a blast from the past (pun intended). We saw it blow and it went off all summer long that year.

@SK-bb6ms Год назад

Yeah, I instantly recognized him too. I lived in Vancouver, one of the blasts blanketed us with ash, I drove through it mixed with light rain, my head out the window since windshield wipers would have ruined my windshield. My brother was camping up there, SW of (this) blast. He said he didn't even know it erupted until he got back to Vancouver.

@allenra530 Год назад

Interesting that the news anchors were so ignorant that they would call the column of ash and volcanic gas "smoke" and calling the ash on the ground "soot". Of course, lightning in the ash cloud is caused by the static charges on the ash particles. When this happened, I was in South America, in Peru. One of the people I worked with was from Portland and my parents lived east of Salem, Oregon. His parents sent the newspapers to him and that was how we found out about the eruption. It was July when we got those newspapers. I returned to the US in October, 1980 and there were several ash falls at my parents' home after I got there. I think I still have a vial of it somewhere in my apartment, collected off the hood of my pickup truck.

@rah62 Год назад

Cut them some slack and don't be insulting (calling them "ignorant"). They're newsreaders, not trained geologists.

@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures 10 месяцев назад

I think there was a general ignorance back then as to pyroclastic flows. The only one that had been recorded and generally recognised before St.Helens was the eruption of Mt. Pelee in 1902, and it wasn't until the eruption of Mt. Unzen in 1991 with the incredible and widely distributed footage that it began to slowly become common knowledge. All the same it would have been nice if they've invited a vulcanologist on the show over the phone to ask them their interpretations of what they're seeing. So I don't think they're being especially dense, they just couldn't understand what they were seeing, or the implications.

@sherylhicks2186 8 месяцев назад

This is not the eruption of Mt. St. Helens! Mt. St. Helens erupted from the left side of the mountain! I was born and raised in Yakima, WA. The mountain didn’t erupt straight up like this video is showing.

@sherimatukonis6016 7 месяцев назад

This is the south side, couldn't see that side from the south.

@MrMontanaNights 6 месяцев назад

There was also a vertical ash column in addition to the North side blowing out.

@kkchristy 5 месяцев назад

The blast was lateral to the north, but once the blast was over the superheated gas and ash went straight up. That is 100% Mt. St. Helens.

@BlueOceanBelow 2 месяца назад

Things like this are why personal testimony is such unreliable evidence.

@myopicautisticmetal9035 2 месяца назад

This is so Mt. St. Hellens, Just because it's later in the day and not footage of the beginning of the blast doesn't mean it's fake. Go comment on some flat earth videos.
