  • This place in time: The Mount St. Helens story
    Recounts through reenactments, personal recollections, and documentary narration, the earth-changing event and aftermath of the May 18, 1980, volcanic eruption of Mount St. Helens in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest of southwest Washington. The film represents the work of dozens of both professional and amateur cinematographers and still-photographers. The film leaves the viewer with a positive feeling that the devastated area will someday be beautiful again during the course of the earth-shattering and earth-healing process.

      He was truly a courageous man, when the mountain erupted he knew he would not make it, he did it for science and I admire him for that. But it was like out of a movie "Vancouver Vancouver this is it!"

    This is one of the best films about the mountain. I've seen almost all of them and even though this is older, it's also the closest to the time of the actual event, so you can feel the urgency. And the nonchalance of the guy eating a pickle.

    I was standing by at the Portland Airport with my ambulance to meet a Medevac when this happened across the Columbia River. We had no idea what it was at first.... looked like the biggest forest fire we'd ever seen. The next few weeks I remember the ash cleanup... Sobering reminder of mans' inability to control nature and how a few seconds of eruption changed both the landscape, the soil, the weather and global sunsets

    My granfather Larry Vincent Brooks worked in the observatory in Mt St Helens. He built part of the White Tank mountain park. He is a great man. He is in the hospital now and almost died. I hope all that knew him, remember how great he was...

      I too, keep thinking about them and how that foolish old man killed them. Everyone had two full months of warning that an eruption was coming. And the experts failed to see the probability of a lateral eruption due to the fast growing bulge on the north side of the mountain.

    • @We_Seek_Truth
      @We_Seek_Truth Рік тому

      Maybe I'm too hard on Harry. Though he should have, he probably couldn't have rounded up all of his cats. And might not have sny place to take them where he could be sure he would get them all back. But he probably didn't know exactly how many and what their names were. They were probably feral and he probably didn't feed them much or regular. He might've used them to keep mice and rats away

    • @moisesgonzalez1285
      @moisesgonzalez1285 5 місяців тому

      I watched another video before I saw this one and I was thinking the same thing I was feeling sorry for the cats. From what the experts say death would have been instantaneous so at least they felt no pain. Harry Truman was a character but he was not being selfish in staying close to danger. He said in an interview that was his whole life if he lost Spirit lake then his life would be over. He was 84 he lived a good life.

    thanks Airboyd for posting this. i went to the mountain a few years after the blast and was utterly awestruck by the scene. i approached the mountain looking at the lee side of the ridges which were still heavily forest covered. and then i went around the bend in the road and was looking directly into the blast zone. i was dumbstruck by the moonscape that suddenly presented itself.

    In 2005 my dad and I headed up there, he had been up there a week before with his then girlfriend, It sucks because I took pictures but I still can't find the camera. It was a nice mountain, pardon me, is a nice mountain, as far as mountains go. Back in 1980 when it blew my mom and dad were on the Oregon coast for their one year wedding anniversary, they heard it.

    I was just there at Windy Ridge last weekend. 32 years later there are still many dead trees around but things are growing well. It was a cloudy/foggy day at 4000 feet so I only caught glimpses of the blast zone time to time.
    The dirt overlook that they show in the video is now a paved parking lot with bathrooms and a monument. There is also a man made staircase going up the hill they show people climbing.
    All in all a great visit.

    To think, I was 9 years old during May 18, 1980. Having turned 9 on January 6, 1980. I can remember waking up to a pink sky and a red sunrise and going to bed to a red sunset. It was like that in the Ohio Valley for many days. I remember my parents having the local news on about Helen from March on. We didn't have family or friends that lived there. Then come 2007 my 2nd husband, our 2 daughters & I moved there to start a new life in Bremerton Washington. We'd hear the locals tell us about how bad it got in Bremerton & Seattle.
