Until she bandwagoned on most people dying because, they were looky-looing. Not true. There were people that died in their homes. Most people died not even looking at the mountain. That's why they died. The truth must be told or else you're just dying in the presence of a smile...

Anyone remember the famous quote, "Vancouver, Vancouver, this is it!" ??? I think they named the ridge that guy was standing on after him. Johnston Ridge? He didn't survive, but I believe he was the first to report the blast. Can't remember if he was a reporter or scientist.

Dave Johnston was his name and the observatory was named after him on the same spot where he was located when he was killed.

[@marked4death076]

He loved volcanoes, and took over shifts to keep an eye on st helens "bulge" which he predicted could cause a lateral blast out the side, yet he was down to see it happen knowing the danger. Been to Johnston ridge multiple times thanks to my mom as a kid and also recently. He had a passion for the power and he got the full ride, RIP david.

[@josephastier7421]

USGS geologist David Johnston made the radio call "Vancouver, Vancouver, This is it, this is it!" He had correctly predicted the north flank of the mountain would fail, and was repporting that this was now happening. He unfortunately did not correctly predict the power of the lateral blast, which blew him and his camp to oblivion. Years later a road crew found part of a truck bumper thought to be his, but other than that he may as well have vanished off the face of the Earth.

I was a 20 year old on a college study abroad program in Mexico City when we encountered newspaper headlines at the newspaper stands on May 19. I remember feeling frustrated because we were so far removed from the situation; trying to read Spanish newspapers and failing to fully understanding the magnitude of the eruption. When we arrived home in August, it was history and not a significant story any longer so I never knew much about it. I do recall a college friend from western Montana describing thick ash that covered everything. This was powerful!

40 years ago, on a same day...on May 18, 1980, at 8:32 AM, the volcano, Mount St. Helens began erupting, creating pyroclastic clouds, pyroclastic flows and lahars, destroying everything in its path, claimed the deaths of 57 victims. Because of it, the temperatures got hotter for about a year. Based on a true story comes two movies. "St. Helens" premiered on HBO in 1981. And "Dante's Peak" released in theaters in USA by 1997.

I remember not knowing it even went iff until it was time to go to school the next day, and we were bummed it was snowing. But it wasn’t snow - it was ash. We were pulled back as we headed out as an alert had come through that everyone needed to stay home. I assume it sent off a second blast that then sent ash 10 hours east? Idk but it was a two week stay at home thing with tons of ash. That one mountain did a lot of damage. P.S. Volcanic ash is an “excellent” insulator on the roof. House doesn’t get too cold or too cool until you get it off of there.

Wow...sometimes feels like yesterday and sometimes it feels like forever ago...I was finishing my 8th-grade yr of school, Jr. High aka Middle School...getting ready for summer vacation and high school...I was only 13yrs old and lived on the other side of America...in the Southeast where my family and I witnessed horrible Hurricanes and Tornados...At that time, I had never seen a "real" mountain...ones with that were snow-capped...I knew nothing about Volcanos beyond the obligatory Volcano science exhibit made for the science fair...needless to say, I learned what even the experts didn't know until then...except for that old guy who had discussed the possibility of a horizontal blast the networks kept showing an interview of him talking about..the old man I'm referring to was 30yr old David Johnston (when you're 13yrs old a 30 yr old is an old man...(what I'd give to be 30 again or actually 13yrs old again)...He was probably in absolute awe, amazement witnessing what he did for the 1st 20-30 seconds...then the sound must have been deafening...he also had more than enough time to realize his fate at that point as the sound was growing more intense...the air pressure changing so drastically, he knew he was about to die...probably within 10-15 seconds after the slide occurred...no more than a 1 minute after the eruption he was hit with a blast equivalent to a nuclear bomb as a wall of superheated air, debris--1000s of degrees and traveling 100s mph as it obliterated his location...one second he was there...the next he was literally vaporized...not to be morbid but his death was not a painful one...the sound, the fear may have lasted for 30 seconds or so after the initial amazement then he was gone...literally turned into ash, bones and all... I remember getting home from church and in May nothing was on TV on Sunday afternoons...even if it was...we were outside...if wanted to see our friends we rode our bikes or walked or had a meeting place...TMS and social media (the destruction of civilization or at least life as we knew it changed forever with that crap)...Back then, cell phones were not part of life but CB radios were...I remember having to choose between the 3 TV channels...being the youngest boy I didn't have much of a say usually...the 3 channels were the "networks" ---may shock many but back then they actually had real journalists...who practiced actual journalism...back then, schools taught actual history and applications of science, math, English and not how many genders there are (which remain the same number even today...2) and most importantly back then, people weren't so soft...let me rephrase...Americans weren't...The News anchors nationally and locally were actually interested in reporting the news based on facts not on agenda's....they weren't into being part of the news just reporting it...unlike today or when it truly began in the 90s...that's when journalism died IMO and networks became more interested in sensationalizing everything, making news out of nothing...creating it, or dictating it...so they could control it...If memory serves me correctly, President Reagan was also shot in 1980...I mention that because those 2 events are the 2 of just a few that I actually remember...with Reagan, after school I walked into my home directly from the school bus which dropped us off a few streets away from my house...as customary, I immediately turned on the TV...meaning I literally turned a switch...expecting to have an after-school snack and watch a few minutes of whatever shows came on after school back then... think it was Gilligan's Island or the Jeffersons or something...One was after school the other after church...or when I first learned about them...both the assassination attempt and this event, all 3 channels were covering...(by the way, to turn the TV Channel I had to literally turn a large round knob on the TV...and the TV was the size of a large cardboard box people used for moving...it was the centerpiece of the room with everything positioned around it... I vividly recall both events being on every channel...interrupting local programming as far away as we were...I yearn for those days...didn't realize how blessed I was at the time...but sure do now...and miss it

Human behavior is hard to understand. Many of the curious who got too close, needlessly lost their lives. I'm not sure of the name of the volcano that threatens the Greater Seattle area, but the danger is real there are towns that when the volcano, I believe Ranier does explode, and it will, that will likely be destroyed, if not by the eruption and the pyroclastic flows or ash, will be wiped out by the resulting floods. No volcano can be deemed extinct, even if it has not erupted for a thousand years. The Tetonic subduction zones that give birth to the marvelous and dangerous mountains is ongoing and from the viewpoint of geologic time volcanic action is constant. From the Palmdale swell in Southern CA, the Mammoth Mountain area on the east side of the Sierra Nevada, all the way up to and beyond our border with Canada there are existing volcanos, indeed the possibility of a new volcano forming is distinctly probable. Obvious sites are in California's Southern Cascades from Mt Lassen east of Red Bluff, Mt Burney, and Mt Shasta, visible from Interstate 5 to drivers and passengers traveling that major highway, Any one who lives near these Tetonic Plate Subduction generated volcanos makes a gamble on the fact that an event will not occur when he or she is in the area. Large urban areas are threatened by these volcanos, and millions of people have gambled on the eruptions not occurring while they are present. The whole of the Pacific Rim geologic area from South East Asia, indeed all around the Pacific Ocean Rim area are in danger of suffering a catastrophic volcanic event occuring, some large areas are relatively safe, but can still have a volcanic event overtake them. There was a Mexican farmer who discovered early and minor emissions while he was plowing his cornfield that turned into a new Volcano which erupted and is still an active volcano today. In the mid 1880's there was a catastrophic eruption in Indonesia wherein the Volcano/island, Krakatoa exploded with catastrophic results. Just the cloud of ash obscuring sunlight effected the weather of the entire planet for decades. It is with ignorance, perhaps arrogance that people live in these areas. It is true that the ash and rock deposited by these giants of nature create fertile soil and other conditions that makes living in these areas attractive. However, it is a gamble admittedly most of the time very small that the Volcano will Not erupt or be be formed. while we are living in the area. It is certain that volcanic activity Will occur from time to time with varying results. Life is a gamble, nothing is for certain, and very day we make choices that might be disastrous for our lives. Just don't be surprised when Volcanic activity overtakes us. As long as there is Tetonic Plate Movement, there will be potential disaster awaiting residents of those areas. Perhaps it. would be a beneficial activity for those who live in these areas to learn about Tetonic activity and the subduction zones where this activity moves the plates under the various continents producing the geologic changes including the tremendous pressures generated when one plate is driven underneath the other by forces we are only beginning to truly understand.

[@mmarlow6697]

Donald Denison Volcano’s can be deemed extinct as many have been. Dormant volcano’s are ones that have not erupted for hundreds/thousands of years but are still considered “active” because they are expected to erupt again, for example, Mount Rainier. Mt. Rainier’s last eruption was around 1894 producing small summit explosions. The USGS monitor all volcano activity which will significantly help in the evacuation in the event of an eruption if not before. While is it still somewhat of a risk, living in these areas is not a certain death wish. There are many of places that have natural disasters where loss of life could occur, literally all over the world. Could you imagine if the population all crowded into the one “safe” area to live? It would be impossible and be much more dangerous to life that living in site of a volcano...

[@donalddenison8896]

@@mmarlow6697 I know and understand all this! My point is that living on this planet, and indeed if it were possible to live on other planets, one should. not be surprised if a volcano cuts loose somewhere nearby. That farmer in Mexico who encountered Paracutin" in his cornfield was no doubt surprised, The cornfield had been cultivated for years, now it is a sizable and still very active volcano. I assume all of the Cascade volcanos are capable of further eruptions even if they haven't had activity for many years. I am only calling attention to the general ignorance of the peril. I myself have traveled, fished, camped, and hunted near sites of active volcanic activity. I have spent time within dangerous proximity for instance of the Yellowstone site. If the Yellowstone complex ever cuts loose in a major way, it will impact multiple states with ash, and other material ejected from it. People hundreds of miles could be impacted if, or better said when that site becomes fully active again. If I were a resident of an area and was told that an eruption was probable in the near future, I think I would take the warning seriously and at least try to get out of range. Some of these sites are massive in size and should one of these giants cut loose like the one did in the Crete area of the Mediterranean, the results would by cataclysmic in nature and would change forever a large area of the Earth. We cannot all huddle in areas free of volcanic activity, but we should at least be aware of the risks so that we can make some sort of rational assessment of the risk. Should we evacuate major areas of the Greater Seattle area just because of the chance of an eruption from Mt. Ranier? I think not, but If I were living in an area where major flooding from melted snow pac is a threat, or in an area that would be likely in danger of pyroclastic flows or other dangerous volcanic activity, I would be trying to find a safer area within commuting distance of my employment, or look for a. job elsewhere. Much of the hazardous threats are predictable in nature, some are not. Residents in these threatened areas should at least be aware of the potential danger and make a judgement about what they want to do about it. At best life is terminal, and we are all dying from the instant we take our first breath. I am only asking that people make and informed judgement based on this risk, not to panic. We aren't going to get out of this life alive anyway, not unless we escape as a spirit or in some other form depending on what one's religious beliefs are. Life is terminal and while we are living we are faced with risks. We should make informed prudent judgements about the risks and then go on and live our lives to their fullest extent. No one is assured of a risk free life, I could step of into a crosswalk abiding by all rules of pedestrian activity, and have some one blow through the interesection while being distracted, and squash me like a bug! Life is a risk but we can't worry about things all the time.
