Mt. St. Helens: The Gary Rosenquist, AI interpolated landslide and eruption sequence. 1080pHD update

After five months of extensive work on new, original resolution source files, I have now completed the upgraded Rosenquist sequence in 1080p HD.

As before, I've synced the video with ham radio operator Gerry Martin, but I've also updated the info. text within the video.

Dedicated to the man himself, for being there for us on that day.

Wonderful recreation. This is the best rendering of the sequence I’ve seen.

[TheMarychinoCherry]

The fact you added Gerry Martin's radio Transmission.. 😢

[rossbooth]

It's like half the mountain turned to liquid in 30 seconds.

[tomaburque]

Beautiful and awesome! This wasn't just a VEI 5 [really big] eruption, it was the largest landslide on earth since the invention of photography!

[carlosribeiro]

Superb, outstanding work. You nailed it, it really does feel like we're watching the event unfold in realtime.

3:30 The utter resignation in Gerry Martin's voice:
"Gentlemen, the camper and the car that's sitting over to the south of me is covered. It's going to hit me, too." 😔

I was 18 that year and living in Yakima WA. I woke up to what looked like a wintry world outside my window, except it was all twilight dark and gray. I walked outside and could feel fine particles of sand drifting down like snow, getting in my hair. The ground was 4-6 inches deep, trees were bent over and breaking, carports were collapsing. I spent two days sweeping the ash off the roof of the house before it could rain and collapse the roof from the weight. It was a very surreal experience.

It's rather eerie living in Washington my whole life, knowing this story from my grandparents and seeing whats left of the mountain 80 miles away, like a carcass, in the distance. Its as it was, all those years ago, and yet still is active. Like a sleeping beast.

I appreciate the attributions and the interpretation of the tech used. I still can't imagine it in reality...

[larryanderson]

I served as Night Shift Engineer for the Corps of Engineers in cleanup operations for 6 months following the eruption.

[KerryConrad-ov]

I was 30 miles away when this happened, in Longview WA, and the words "The mountain is exploding" are burned into my memory.😮

[mamfredjimenez]

Rest in peace David Johnston and Harry Truman.

[Lucariocypher]

1:30 its crazy how fast it looked small when just 30 seconds later turns into a literal behemoth of explosion

[EarthPersonPrime]

I remember this. My third grade teacher visited the aftermath and brought backba jar of ash to show the class. I also remember the sky affected by the ash in Minnesota.

[TheKeenTribe]

If you see an entire mountain explode in front of you, terrifying is an understatement.
I lived in NJ in 1980. We had a thin coating of ash on our car! Someone here on YouTube who's from Washington commented that the ash traveled around the world twice

[Mike-syoy]

Text moved a bit too fast for me to read in the beginning. Otherwise awesome video!

[rosierose]

Did he just say "its going to get me too" 😲🙏🏻🕊️

[SaltyChip]

You know it’s bad when solids start moving like liquids.

[sunnygirl]

Superb! You really outdid yourself. Thank you.

I remember this clearly. I was an agricultural student in the UK just north of London working outdoors on a vegetable farm that summer. It was a beautiful sunny warm dry early summer. About 5 days after the eruption the dust clouds had crossed the Atlantic and the sky turned dull grey and it got much colder and that continued right through summer into autumn. Very clearly down to this activity if one was an outside worker. It cost me a really nice summer!
