18 May, 1980. I survived the Mt. St. Helens eruption, at age 16. 80-90 miles away. RIP David A. Johnston, and Harry R. Truman.

13:36 That guy doesn't know anything about Mt. St. Helens. The only thing he got right, was the pumice rain in the beginning of the eruption. A USGS geologist named David A. Johnston was the only geologist who predicted that the eruption would be horizontal, instead of vertical. Yes, a little pumice came out of the top, but in around 1/10th of a second, the north face blew outward. They say the mountain came at David A. Johnston at around 650 miles and hour. Camped 6 miles north, the man had less than 10 seconds to live. He grabbed his 2 way microphone, and yelled VANCOUVER VANCOUVER THIS IS IT THIS IS IT .The man was only 30 years old. Since that day, I've always wondered what he saw, and knowing that he was about to die 😔

[normanpeters]

Yellow stone spreads out to solitude. To secure the one in the middle

[katchartrand]

Hear me out, but it is not unknown that when a Volcano erupts, if it's big enough, it can sometimes cool the atmosphere a bit, what if we just synthetically copy that to try in reverse global warming?
Putting a bunch of ash in the atmosphere doesn't sound very hard expensive, but not hard.

[TopG-luhq]

Thunberg should be protesting beside these volcanos

[fandiirfandi-gr]

They descridve the eruption very detail but they forget about VEI (Volcanic Explosivity Index. VEI is scienctific scale for how powerful the eruption of volcano activity. More devastating its volcano the scale of VEI become more higher

[MacMcG-hbcr]

It's so simple to say "If something (we know) happened, didn't happen.... then something we (don't know) would happen... It's like 'second-guessing' something that MIGHT HAVE BEEN!!!... absurd! There's no information available which would answer that question.. it's simply 'inaccessible!" By the existence this fact in reality, there's no other option but to realize 'WE CANNOT KNOW!" It's like asking "what would be the outcome if Hitler died before writing 'Mein Kampf?.' That would require change/modification of something 'WE KNOW' occurred in the past (and still exists in our history/memory). Amazing how the fertile imagination which exists in the minds of many who would/could banish reality (the life-long existence of it?). Reality!.. man what a concept!

What's this love affair Americans have with Yellowstone being the best and most dangerous?
