I was in middle school when this eruption happened. We lived about 2,000 miles away, but I remember the ash coating cars and other surfaces. Not a thick layer of ash, but enough that it made our family’s cars look dirty. I had trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that a volcano in Washington could eject so much ash that it was falling many states away.

@mas5867 Год назад

You must have lived in a small pocket in OK. Most of the detectable ash did not fall that far away.

Honestly, in the context of Mount Saint Helens's enormous eruption, the line "nothing matches the map" is so incredibly chilling, especially as, what sounds like, a genuine reaction from radio chatter.

@CortexNewsService 2 месяца назад

What always boggles my mind is the eruption was relatively small. It was "only" a 5 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index

@PABadger13 2 месяца назад

That's original audio from a helicopter flight into the blast zone from the first days following the eruption. I think, but am not completely sure, that it's from the day of the eruption, during the search and rescue phase - an embedded reporter (before that was a phrase) taping the pilots as they searched for survivors. The second tape is Gerry Martin, a ham radio operator killed in the eruption, and constitutes part of his final radio transmission.

@argynews2825 Месяц назад

You should think about Yellowstone that volcano carved out a huge crater in THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHAIN that is located right in the middle of mountain and the lava chamber is ginormous Mt Saint Helens didn’t even get close to the amount of cubic feet of material moved by Yellowstone

@independentskarab7775 16 дней назад

@@CortexNewsService To be fair anything with a VEI >=4 can probably be called 'large', considering the amount of material that they erupt. VEI 6 and onward are so large due to the nature of the logarithmic scale however that things get blown out of proportion quickly and eruptions like mt st helens' (DRE of 0.25 km^3) seem small.

@gryph0n55 11 месяцев назад

Shoutout to the Mt Saint Helens Observatory where they have that theatre that plays the min-doc about Mt St Helens and then at the end it shows the mountain as it used to be, then the screen goes up, and the curtains pull apart, revealing the backwall behind the screen is actually a giant window, and Mount Saint Helens is perfectly framed in it. That shit is magical, they get an A+ for that.

I’m fairly local to Saint Helen’s, living only 1.5 hours away. I see it every time I drive to town on a clear day. The landscape around it is truly unmatched, and it’s amazing to see how much it has rebounded with life. I use it as a personal reminder that no matter how bad things get, there’s always an opportunity for things to get better.

my mom and my grandparents use to go to spirit lake every year. they said it was pure paradise, hands down the most beautiful spot on the planet. and she could not believe what it looked like after the eruption. the familty was on their way there on the day of the eruption and almost got caught in a bad situation but luckily they shut the roads down before she could make it in too far.

My mother lived through the eruption. Living in Portland 75 miles away. She always said it it was a serine destruction. The amount of ash that coated the cars seemed like snow. She and my grandmother collected a few film canisters of it. I was born 15 years later on May 18th. Always called me her Volcano baby. And now I have one of those film canisters sitting in my case. Great video. I love the area so much. Thanks for capturing so many of the feelings you get from standing on that ground.

I went to Mt St Helen’s every other year from 2005 or 6, to 2014 or 15. It’s incredible to have seen everything bounce back so quickly, from the first trips seeing spirit lake still almost entirely covered by logs, to now just a fraction of it, or the standing dead forest turning to a living, green forest again. Certain objects like the miners car, of which mostly the chrome is all that’s left now. And of course the ever interesting caves and tree molds. Mount St Helen’s is probably one of the most spectacular things you can see in the continental US

@AirShark95 Год назад

Very neat mini-documentaries! The research combined with the stunning camera work and production quality makes for a very enjoyable and educational experience! If these sorts of topics are something you want to continue making, perhaps having a video on the Cascadia Subduction Zone and the potential future megaquake it could unleash could be a very interesting topic. I'm sure you'll be able to capture the beauty and power of the PNW coastline in a very captivating way! Keep up the wonderful work!

@azzikko2688 Год назад

I hiked on the pumice plains with my family when I was about 10 years old, around 2001 or so. It was very cool, a whole other type of world above the clouds. We saw lizards, the only tiny lizards I have seen in the north in my whole life. We also saw the ghost forest of standing burned trees and the lake still full of fallen logs, which really impressed me. Very cool place. We have a magnet that has ash inside collected from the eruption, and it's so full of iron particles that sometimes it gets stuck to the magnet on the back of the container too.

I had the chance to summit St Helen’s about a year ago, wasn’t able to get to the summit but I was able to hang out in the bowl of the mountain. It was eerie and my group just sat silent a couple of minutes to take it all in. The landscapes from that point of view was crazy and I’ll never forget it. Though I do plan on going back up there since I wasn’t able to summit it and ever since then I’ve felt this need to go back up there. It has this pull that I feel every mountain has, but each one is special I feel like, like I live near Mt Hood here in Oregon and there’s this weird connection I get from it that no other mountain has. It’s the same thing with Helens, it has this pull that is irresistible like it’s beckoning for you to come.
