  • IT would be scary to be there or at least 50 feet from it

  • my parents lived in California an Antioch i think that's how you spell it, when Mt St Helens blew it shook windows and everything else, my mom said ash was coverign everything, they even took some ash from the event and still have it today, the story i heard about this and pictures were just amazing..

  • i had grey skies when tha apend

  • I know that picture is Mount Rainiar because it dosen't has spirit lake

  • my mom was 50 miles away from the eruption

  • You used the music of Lost nice to give Michael credit nicely done

  • I just think if the gas and magma and lava come out on Mount Saint Helens

  • lol 0:59 volvocano

  • when you are near a volcano, whether or not is it alive or dead, it reminds you of how alive the earth really is

  • i was elk hunting that day and then the ground like started to shake so i packed up and got on my fourwheeler and drove off as fast it could go.. i got stopped by one cop but the others let me go

     that day was deadly

  • I remember this as if it were yesteday.

  • me too and i was a kid

  • Wow you are lucky! We watched the film in gegoraphy it was really sad, all of the people in our class were crying and really confused as to why this woman and tree planter people comtinued with their work on the side it exploded surley they wouldve known that the volcanoe would destroy it right??

  • You do know it wasn't technically active it was dorment or dormint i don't kow how to spell though, anyhoo the dormentvolcanoes are the most dangerous as you never know ifthey could or when they could explode

  • I Survived the eruption of Mt St Helens i am lucky!

  • oh hope ur okay! :3 <3 xxx

  • @cookiemonster00011 Thank you, yes i am ok now i have moved to london so... it started when i was doing my work when i heard a loud Roar i look and saw lots of Steam coming from Mt St Helens! i was alone at that time :(

  • The pictures at the beginning are Mt. Rainer.

  • Just shows you how powerful the Earth is

  • I was 20 years old then and visiting a friend in Richland, Wa aprox 50 or so miles to the East from St Helens. When it went off... it shook the windows and made a loud boom. I knew what it was. After awhile I got on my motorcycle and headed to Kennewick and half way there ash was falling on me. Strange day. Strange experience.

  • Great job guy's,nice video,,very good, great production ,the music its PERFECT.

    GREAT JOB.

  • I cut this all the way down I was like shut up!

  • how nice video it was totally awesome i using it for my project in class well soon on monday thanks so much bye

  • wow this kinda helped me for a quiz study lolz

  • Somehow I knew that music was done by MG. Is it from Lost?

    Nice vid. :)

  • rubbbish

  • it finally popped its pimple . the people who died didn't think it was going to be that bad.

  • its not that they thought that but it had not shown signs for like a week before it blew the day before they thought that tomrrow would look even better

  • wow

  • it seems wierd that only 57 people died in this and yet its considered to be one of the great disasters of the 20th centuary however nevado del ruiz killed 23.000 and didn't attract half as much media attention

  • It is kind of off the beaten path so not that many people lived close and they had been evacuated. Not many deaths thankfully but a lot of damage to property down the rivers nearby as they became flooded with debris and melted glaciers.

  • the top poped strait of

  • The cool thing about was that I went to Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument and learned that the mountain is regaining its height at little bit each year! And I've realized when you at 2:11 of the vid you can see Mt. Rainier to the north, now that's Awsome!

  • La fuerza de la Naturaleza es incomparable !! quede loko con la imagen!! XD!!

  • This omits key facts to understanding the eruption. It was not a lava eruption. It was rather like a steam engine blowing up. Billions of gallons of water were trapped within the rock and heated to over 400F, so the pressure to turn to steam was immense. Then the rock exploded to let the steam out. A shock wave of hot water, trees, and mud spread out killing some, not just ash.

  • 0:23 why anyone would want to live near a mountain with a "growth" coming out the side of it is beyond me... that'd scare the crap out of me!

  • Why the hell would you use rainier

  • idiot no it wasnt its 1980

  • idiot is 1980!!

    but how is there still yet people who doesn't know mount's saint helens eruption date?

  • Seriously, cut the sarcasum because its 1980 smart arse

  • its not flat

  • ohhhhh........ that is so ssad

  • Excellent!

  • toffs

  • Nice video! Well done!

  • cool

  • some of the facts were wrong, we was just donig it in school like 4 days ago

  • wow its cool

  • isnt dis mount saint helens

  • A very well put together piece...and i especially love the original music! thumbs up to the composer...and 5 stars to the entire video!

  • well done makeing this clip and the people how disagree are assholes

  • also after 7 days the ash from the volcano went around the world

  • total shit

  • the person speakin is a prick

  • this is kinda dumb  we all noe dat volcanos are dangerous durrh......

  • O RLY? We weren't telling you that, douche, we were telling you about a particular eruption.

  • Exactly, I'm studying Volcano's at the moment for my GCSE's, and we're doing about Mt. St. Helens, and this video is perfect for getting some quick facts.

    It's very well put together, I hope you got a good grade for this. :P

  • get your fact together please.lots of mistakes here

  • get your face together. LOLZ

  • nice one,better than that movie of yours

  • thx for this video helped me with my assignment. *Didn't copy it used it for help* (so don't go all copyright shit on me lol) 5 stars

  • get it right fuckin tit it wasn't in washington

  • ummmm, i think you'll find that it was, and funnily enough, still is in Washington! Arsehole :D

  • Washington state not Washington city

  • No. Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier are two different mountains...

  • but ther both gonna fuck some shit up soon

  • ak1200 is right. the photo shown at the 14th second of this slide show is Mt Rainier

  • umm please tell me your not serious.... Mt. Rainier is a seperate volcano in the same area roughly 50 miles north. Mt. St Helens has been named this forever. Please do some research before you claim to know what your talking about

  • 0:14 that is not Mt. St. Helens that is a photo of Mt. Rainer.....

  • it AWESOME

  • i have just learned about this 2 weeks ago

  • me too

  • awesome video, but maybe next time a bit more imagination (think thats the wrd) you know. in your narrating it's a bit boring to hear 1980 or erupting or st helens over and over agin.

  • this was about 500 times worse then the hiroshimabomb, they said when i watched a documentery about this accident on discovery channel.

  • unlike man made bombs though, volcanoes are the reason we are all here today, they are why our climate continues to sustain life as well as why organisms were able to evolve and create you and me, duh

  • When yellowsotnes blows it won`t matter where you live!!!God there`s some drama queens on here.

  • YALL BETTA HAVE GOTTEN AN A+++++. HAHA

  • As others people from WA have said, the photo at :14 is Mt Rainier. Good job on your project though guys!

  • Wow, I remember and will never forget the day of or the days following. I can't say any more.

  • Glad I didn't go mountain climbing that day!

  • awesome vid

  • thank god im in NJ

  • Ya know when yellowstone blows it wont matter where anyone lives

  • that's true :x

  • Thats right, many say Yellow Stone National Park is made up from lots of smaller fishers and or magma tubes, yet also a few say its just one massive volcano. Some say it will take many years to blow its full magma out, others say it will take no more than a few days. I have no idea which is true, the only thing I know is that when she does decide to blow, we have very few chances to escape it no matter where we are on Earth, not even in the waters or underground.

  • So the scientists claim. Don't count your chickens before they've hatched. You can start singing the'I was right' song when we are facing a wave of superheated molton gas. Lol.

  • this is a really good movie.

    but how come it says that it has erupted

    many times before, but the 1980 one was the worst. when was there eruptions?

  • he sed SINCE the 1980 ruption

  • they used special scientific instruments to hear the sound of creecing magma (lava)

  • das ist eine politische scheisse

  • an earthquake caused the bottom of the right north slope of the mountain to fracture then when there was another earthquake the whole side slipped off then it exploded

  • THANK GOD IM IN CALI!!

  • what editing program did you use? it looks like iMovie.

  • was this the 1980 one ?

  • pressure from within the volcano pushed the north side out so that it crumbled away. Now that the lava had not only the top of the volcano to escape from, it had the entire north side of the mountain! This was also the largest landslide in U.S. Ther was just alot of lava, and the pressure simply exploded.

  • the mountain "behaved" like a liquid flow..!O.O... what caused the horizontal eruption? The scientist where expecting a verical one /:|

  • I'm so glad I live close to NY!

  • I have this for my Geog project -.-

    Lucky me <3

  • so do i i have to write a news report bout it

  • Samee

    + I have to MAKE a volcano to go with it.

  • awesome !!

  • why are you mount st. helens-ing on me?

  • um i dont understand but cool video

  • Its surprising to think that by geologic standards this was actually a very small eruption, a "burp" if you will.

    Also, yes Yellowstone has a chance of being a super-volcano but by no means will it take out the human race.

  • Helens wasn't the biggest eruption, but I think it was more than just a burp

  • this is gna help me wit my gegoraphy project xD

  • cool video - nice summary of the event. thanks

  • i wonder what it would be like on the south side when that hapened XD

  • one of the bigest expolsion ever in last 1000 years, 5/5, but if you wonna know what is really HUGE explosion you should to check out supervolcano in Yellowstone or in Indonesia, those explosions (if will happen in next 50-100 years) propably can destroy even man kind

  • it's awesome but sad that many died.

  • only 61 people

  • 57 not 61

  • thanks guys you help me loads with my geography course work

  • I'm from around there, I've been on that mountain, and had to learn about all of this shit from 6th grade through about my senior year of high school. You kids did an excellent job. It actually reminds me of some of the informational videos the have on loop at the lookout centers.

  • A*.

  • that project was more like a beyoung a+

  • For those denying the fact the my state (Washington) is a desert. You are half right. Western Washington is a marine environment. Plenty rainy days. But cross the cascades into Eastern Washington and you are indeed in a desert. NASA tests Mars landers to simulate the Mars environment. Thought I'd throw that little fact in to give you an idea what we are talking about here.

  • dude u copied the first clip

  • kind of slow paced

  • Great video, but I think you should know that the third frame in the video shows a photo of Mt Rainier, not Mt St Helens.

  • Good eye.

  • May 18 is my birthday

  • May 19 is my birthday. May 18 is my piano teacher's birthday.

  • its a wastland brum23!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • it's not a desert, it's a wasteland, the description of a desert is an area that receives less than 10 inches of rain a year, Washington gets about 30 inches annually

  • We are nothing when compared to mother natures furry.

  • i love the lost music.

  • o lord!!!

    pray for us!!

  • i have been there a couple of years ago now its basically a dessert there with tons of dead trees.

  • It's a dessert? What do they have, ice cream cones and banana splits?

  • no no it looks like a dessert but some of the trees are growing back

  • Woosh, think that one went right over his head.

  • it's not a desert, it's a wasteland, the description of a desert is an area that receives less than 10 inches of rain a year, Washington gets about 30 inches annually

  • Hahahaha, T-KO = ) I was going to point out the same fact.

  • doesn't it piss you off how fucking stupid 90% of the people on this website are

  • it's funny that bobby still doesn't get the difference between "dessert" and "desert", and apparently you guys didn't, either. lol

  • haha i cant beleve how fuckin gay u guys are correcting me

  • o my good!!!!!

  • i'm doing this in school right now, thanks for info!

  • The 3rd photograph (@ 14s) is Mount Rainier.

  • the third picture looks more like Mt Rainer, the other ones look fine though. Im saying that because I spent a good 10 years of my life looking at Rainer and have practicly memorized it.

  • I was living in Sacramento, CA when Mt. St. Helen erupted in 1980. I had a thin layer of soot all over my white T-Bird. That was so devastating for the people that lived there that lost their loved ones and homes.

  • This is not meant to be funny? ... just to let you know, those people had plenty of time to get off the mountain and everyone had been given a warning... so it is kind of funny that they didn't leave...

  • Just to let YOU know, only 3 of the 57 people you accuse of not getting off the mountain were actually within the designated blast zone. The other 54 were located in a "safe" area. Little did anyone know that the mountain exploded to the north, creating a blast zone to the side instead of around the entire mountain. This blast zone was significantly larger than the designated hazardous area. Please do your research before suggesting that those who died were at fault.

  • My previous comment was intended for malkavianxx.

    To the author of this video...nice job!

  • Harry Truman had a chance to leave...I hear from my grandmother that he was an old jerk anyway...

  • haha first one to talk private school batty boy!yeah they are british and so am i but please dont think this is how british talk, there is only a small minority who think being intellegent is the be all and end all.

  • Nastyyy

  • Riveting.

  • It's too bad you guys didn't include more eruption footage and explained how the eruption occured behind the scenes. That would have made this a pretty solid submission, but still good without it I guess.

  • i live in WA and it is going to fucking suck when rainer blows man it is the most dangerouse in the freaking country damn itlle suck

  • OH I LIVE HERE IN WA!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great footage of what the mountain USED to look like. I see it's flattened form every clear day- I don't even remember what it used to look like, I was only 10 when it blew.

  • r these british ppl

  • Great video!!! And that music was very LOST type. Right? (If you watch it, of course.)The font aswell! :D:D:D Anyway great video!!!!

  • that was freakin awesome.

  • Nice job. I liked the view from space. It would be neat to see this view with an overlay of state roads, towns etc..

    Thanks for posting.

  • Well done! I live in Washington state and think you did a good job on this.

  • The reason he was near and couldnt hear it was b'cos, the sound goes up hits the sound barrier and when it gets back it is only heard aout 12 miles away....any closer u wont hear it

  • every day I see tuis beaty.....cool

  • to jontyandroz the third picture is mt. rainier a bigger volcano 40 miles northeast of st. helens

  • I'm under the impression that if Yellowstone park erupts, life as we know it is extinguished... But i mean, what are the odds of that in our lifetimes? She had her Saint Helens, let her rest for now....

  • love it

  • it looked so cool when it eruted

  • they both are volcanic

  • Does anyone know if Mount Ranier or Mount Hood are volcanic?

  • Not sure about Mt. Hood, but Rainier is definately volcanic. It's eruption would be very disasterous according to what the scientists are saying.

  • What about Mount Whitney in California?

  • Not sure about Whitney, probably is volcanic though. I just know that Mt. Rainier is very volcanic 'cause I live by it.

  • mt. hood is volcanic but dead

  • Volcanoes in Washington are: Mt Baker, Mt Rainier, Glacier Peak, Mt St Helens, and Mt Adams.

  • Mt Hood in Oregon is volcanic.

  • two of my uncles died in the pyroclastic flow and the flood that happend =(

  • Oh, man. That sucks. I'm really sorry.
