One of the earliest news events I remember from childhood.
At 8:32 am on May 18th 1980, the right flank of Mount St Helens, which had grown over 500ft of material, would slide off the mountain, uncorking a tremendous force of power that would forever change the landscape and the lives of those living near. PC Gary Rosenquist #43YearsAgo
ALT This photo shows Mount St Helens minutes before 8:32 am on May 18th 1980. The tree line of evergreen can be seen a the bottom of the photograph and a tall Mount St Helens can be seen in the center.
ALT This photo shows the right flank of Mount St Helens sliding off causing the worlds largest landslide.
ALT This next photo in the sequence taken a minute in to the eruption shows two clouds begin to release from the mountain. as the landslide continues down the north flank like a river of rock and debris.
ALT This final photo of this sequence shows the later blast begin to move over the landscape. The blast is large clouds of superheated hot rock, gas, and released power. Like a soda bottle on its side.
