The Night the Mountain Exploded: Mount St. Helens 1980

The Night the Mountain Exploded: Mount St. Helens 1980

On a quiet Sunday morning in Washington State, the entire north face of a mountain collapsed in the largest landslide in recorded history—triggering an eruption that would kill 57 people and reshape our understanding of volcanic monitoring. We explore the weeks of warning signs, the fateful decisions that kept people in the danger zone, and the story of David Johnston, the young volcanologist who radioed "Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!" seconds before the blast consumed him.
