The guy who took the pictures was describing what he was witnessing first-hand, and he literally said "it was quiet, there was no sound or big explosion noise that would make you want to run." Obviously there would be no sound from still photos, but I thought it was silly that literally as the guy who was there when it happened is describing the lack of sound during the event itself, the editors thought it would be a good idea to add rumbling sound effects.

I was about 60 miles north of this eruption back in 1980 and most of the ash cloud went due east. We only got a light dusting on our cars from the first eruption. I witnessed the second major eruption on a clear day from the Seattle international airport as the ash plume ascended to 60,000 feet in a matter of minutes. You could HEAR it sounding like large rocks grinding together. An eerie scary scene.

The "footage" of the eruption was augmented. There was no live footage, only a series of still images from an automated still camera, each frame 5-10 seconds apart. The reconstructed "footage" here is interpolated frames plus additional animation overlays on top of the "tweened" sequence. It's a little dishonest not overlaying a disclaimer.

And the director is right. People are hypocrite criticising white washing, because the public is the one that force movie producers to always dump their favorite hot star of the moment as the lead in every movie. If you put authentic characters in the lead who are not the top stars, worse if they look like foreigners, the vast majority of the people would never go to the movies.

I was dead north of the volcano when it blew. I was drifting the Cowlitz River for spring Chinook. 5 minutes before it blew I was drifting through a hole that had a vertical cliff 15 or 20 feet high. All of a sudden a deer appeared on the cliff and dove right into the river and swam across about 50 feet behind my boat. It blew down trees 16 miles south from where I was and I never heard a sound. Not a peep. My fishing partner in Port Townsend, maybe 150 miles north was awakened by the boom. Me 15 miles away, never heard a peep.

There were a couple of very small gullies where trees were still green and standing straight up indicating that the blast of wind passed over the top.. Also flew low level over the ash buried parking lot where the photo of a station wagon appeared in publications. Finally climbed to the south side of the summit to watch a yellow Cessna 180 diving down from the summit, over the developing steaming cone at the bottom. Must have been power off with full flaps to do that fast descent without getting his airspeed too high.

The Nu'uanu landslide (occurred around 2 million years ago) which slid off the island of Oahu is the biggest with debris strewn out over hundreds of square miles from the island.

Cynical Zombie Sorry, but you must not realize how small an acre actually is. Roughly the size of a football field without the end zones. According to the USGS the initial landslide alone was "23 square miles; 0.67 cubic miles (3.7 billion cubic yards)" and that increased as the snow melted and more tremors hit. You would hardly notice a 150 acre slide on a mountain that size.

"It was quiet. There was no explosion noise." Only because light travels almost a million times faster than sound, so at significant distances (like the distance of that dude and the camera from the Mtn) it will take a while for the sound to reach you (even though you see the event pretty much straight away). (At sea level sound travels about 1100 feet per second through the air, slower at higher altitudes.)

There was ample time for evacuation and most people paid attention to the warning, but, sadly, some did not and paid with their lives. I remember that Sunday morning well. I wasn't shocked that it erupted but I was shocked when I saw Spirit Lake and all the lumber floating in it. And ash rained down in Olympia, WA, where our relatives were. Later when we visited, I bought little statue of a dog made out of the ash, it was black and white.

magorkel what the hell! 500 miles in the air!? Mt St. Helens is only 2 miles high, and the ash cloud only went to 11 miles!

We got ash from that volcano in the Palm Springs area . I think it was a couple days after the eruption we woke up in the morning to everything covered in ash . That was wild .

the comforting thing is, this is part of the cycle of nature; life spreads back in immeidiately the ash cools - rodents in deep burrows even survive, to tunnel out weeks later

I think you have a typo in your caption. The trees felled were more like 15,000 acres. I was there.

Hi. I'm a french biology teacher and I often used a longer version of this video. But it seems to be blocked. I would like to know if I can find the longer one anywhere.

cars that were left behind had melted glass and plastic taillights were left intact and untouched. Trees that were 2-3 feet around were snapped off at ground level. I wen back after 10 years and it was still like craters on the moon. The sheer size of the devastation area. For trees were shred for miles. My house is 140 miles away from the crater and was visible from my house.

Just to clarify for people this is a computer generated animation, not an actual camera footage of the event.

I remember this as to day how we were sitting in our sofa in Stockholm in the evening. Time had followed this volcano and described the dangerous situation and rumblings and earthquakes and had made interwiews with many peoples who were either living in cottages or were hunting or walking there. An old man said I´m not gonna move. If it blows it blows. His cottage was covered by hundreds of feet of clay, ash, stones and douglas furs. Those who survived said they heard a sound as if a big jet plane was coming through the forest and suddenly the big furs were cut down and lakes and rivers were filled by the debri. The avalance moved with the speed of a jet plane and the thick ash covered roofs of cities far from the eruption. When you see the car with the opened doors you can see that a man has turned on the wiper! Insane! I think 60 persons died. They had stayed because there had been some warnings for several days and nothing happened but that was a fatal decision. Don´t play with volcanos. Time made wonderful editions after this explaining everything. Great. A small plane had been flying around the volcano and were taking pictures and videos and they were almost hit by the explosion.

Considering, I live in Tacoma, I was here when it blew, and I have watched the eruption many times since May 18th 1980 this is indeed the actual photographs. You are correct there is no "video" of this but there are 36 images that were taken over a few seconds that show the eruption. Putting sequential still images together is how video is made. What you are calling clouds is snow peaking out from under ash deposited there in the weeks before the eruption
