Mt. St. Helens 30th Anniversary Documentary

What an awesome documentary this is, from the interviews and commentary to the pictures and videography. Just a great 30th anniversary documentary, thank you to all involved !!!

Mt. St. Helens has a twin. The San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff. A volcano that blew out the side.

The year I migrated to USA never knew the eruption except today 2024

I knew Karen Varner. She was my older brothers girlfriend. That loss slowly killed him, he never was the same after that. His name was Jeff.

My dad passed away on Mt st Helen's 43 yrs now when he couldn't be found l had nightmares thinking of him out there but sfter his body was found 7 weeks later in a clump of trees and we buried him it was still traumatizing for 3 months but over the years l have never been there maybe it's time to go and make peace

i loved in Portland , but my mom sent me to Kent, Wa. to my Aunt and Uncles ........ we saw the plume from there

I heard a few sasquatch were burned alive. Military went in after the devastation and retrieved them.

As devastating as it was, it was a non event compared to Earths long history. The Russian Traps or Siberian Traps, with Traps being the Swedish word for steps, flowed layer after layer for 2 million years in an area of Russia, greater than half size of the Continental US. It caused the Permian–Triassic mass extinction event. Truly this was Hell On Earth. At less than 500K yrs ago, its not that far in geologic time. Could a "Butterfly Effect" have triggered Mt Saint Helen's? Could a small earthquake or natural tectonic drift on the Pacific-Asian Plate boundary cause a shift 6000 miles away to redirect lava deep below the US. Who knows. We like to think we are in a safe time on Earth but thats what the dinosaurs probably thought to after their first 100 million years. This was just a wake up call that we are not. God Bless all who perished and all who suffered.

これがアメリカの富士山と呼ばれた山…すごい話だ。火山に興味があるから、すごい参考になります。ありがとう。

The tongue of the white man is always deceitful they claim the earth was created in millions of years, but the Great Spirit has been showing them how fast his power works

Mother nature is resilient maybe then we should stop trying to kill her. I don't know just a thought 🤔

Hi helicopter log there I remember hookin turns up in total disaster and running to get out of the way of the logs and you were in a park almost I'm parked not quite apart but at least you weren't in the disaster zone just a matter of feet

"For everything that's a destructive force, there's also something creative." Does that include global warming/climate change? Or, chemical pollution on a planetary scale? (Methane, ammonia, DDT, etc.)

Nature DOES have a way of recovering more quickly than scientists ("experts") predict. Look at the Valdez oil spill - and ALL oil spills for that matter! The oceans rebuild those areas very quickly.

Aaaa the new flowers. Leave the mountain alone. No housing no camping.we just see what mother nature those. Watch the wonder of mother nature over the years and how it works. People destroy every beutyfull that nature gives us.

That's what created Hawaii

Looking like mother nature reborn

Mark looks like Biden!

Was the wood from the trees that were blown down used for timber?

Amazing 👍

I was 4, and was about 100 miles north, just north of Seattle, in Snohomish, at the time, but I remember it still like it happened yesterday.

It's most certainly among my main indelible childhood memories, to this day.

And, it's arguably even more beautiful and area for recreation now, as magnificent as it had been, up until that day.

I try getting out there every summer still. Even though there are far larger and more ancient forests and mountains within 30 miles of where I live, right now, along the coast of Puget Sound between Mt Rainier and Mt Baker. ⛰️

The music in this is beautiful! Is there anywhere I can listen to it?

I remember as a kid getting pelted with ash in northern Colorado... it was hard to fathom...

Back in November I started looking up stuff and was amazed by all information.Back in 1980,here
in the Midwest we knew so very little of what went on.Two programs are must see.The A&E special Minute by Minute Mt St Helens. And the HBO movie about Mt St Helens,both give great insight into what happened.People were fortunate it kill more people particularly loggers,tourist.

The Ring of Fire and the evolution of the planet is not finished - it's just taking it's time.

But it WAS SAID That The Trees Never Grew BACK

I remember well the winter of 1980-81, and 81-82; brutally cold with lots of snow. I finger the Mount St. Helen's eruption as the culprit.

I remember when I watch it almost 43 years ago!

Flew over it the day after

Very big deal

Rip to all of those who died in this tragic event.

The trees in the lake could have built many homes but I guess it's not fun when they are already down

What happens when you exploit a mountain and its lake for personal gain.

These are some absolutely gorgeous pitchers but can you imagine what they would have got if the drones of today were in existence back then.

This program was fascinating!.

Thank you for creating this beautiful film! I remember those days but have not kept up with the developments. It reminds us how breathtaking our planet is and that we must do our best to take care of it. ❤😊

I lived in Anaheim California when this happened and the ash was falling there. Then I moved up there eight years later, and worked at Trout Lodge. They showed pictures of where the ash was waist deep in some places.

Wow this is a really great documentary. I was in HS when it blew in '80. Seeing the recovery by the early 21st century is surprising. Earth does Earth best. I hope to get to see what's there someday. Gonna need me a volcano tour or somethin'.

19 January 2023! How well I remember!! Was in my 20's. Where has the time gone? 🤔✝️

It rained ash/mud in NYC some 3 days later. Never seen anything like it

When people tell me we’re destroying the planet Global cooling I mean global warming I mean climate change. 2019 I visited this place and I was at complete amazement. Utter amazement at the destructive force and the regrowth! Spent two days and I could’ve spent a week there.

I remember this so well. My husband and I were living on Victoria Island, which is part of British Columbia. I loved it there, so beautiful. My husband was in the Air Force at the time, then he received orders to come back to the U.S. Stateside. A month goes by as we're getting ready to plan our trip back to the U.S. and bc my husband wanted to drive back, I was not happy about it bc of the Mount St. Helen's eruption. We were getting ash in the air even where we were living. My husband was told by his CO that it would probably be better, safer and smarter to travel through Canada. But of course he was curious???? As we got closer to Washington I noticed what I thought was "snow", was actually ash still in the air. I remember stopping for the night outside, getting out of the car and saw about an inch of ash on the car. But riding through the area where there used to be beautiful scenery was nothing more than a graveyard of mass destruction and death. We traveled through that area after it was reported to be safe enough to go through there. But, I was still scared straight until we were well out of harmsway. I realized then the Good Lord can provide scenic beauty and He can also take it away, and all "we" are left with is the reason "why", to which there is no rhyme or reason, only God knows.

An amazing lesson for all the doom sayers. Mother Nature has a natural ability to recover.

Amazing video.

My ex and I were there just outside the red zone. We observed directly across from the bulge. Less than 24 hours later she erupted. Thankful our plans of camping there didnt take place. Mother Nature is great.

I'd like to see where the lodge was

All scientists are idiots.... until they're not

I wonder if any industrious person tried mixing some of that volcanic ash into their concrete. It worked pretty well for the Romans. Supposedly it's the reason there are so many recognizable ruins today.

I remember walking to my highschool and wiping ash off a friends car. I lived in Moncton NewBrunswick, 2,686.46 mi (4,323.43 km) away.
