The eruption resulted in the loss of 57 lives and caused widespread destruction. Hundreds of homes were demolished, along with 57 bridges and around 200 miles of roads and highways. Moreover, tens of thousands of acres of forest land were levelled by the eruption's force.

I was awed by it, and have been fascinated with geology ever since.

The dirtbike attached to the car like that makes me realize how materialistic we've become. A baw would need a $70,000 truck to take his dirtbike somewhere now.

And it was 50 years ago just last month that the greatest fake volcanic eruption ever happened.

Man that would be terrifying to be that close to a pyroclastic eruption like that.

Watched it after Buckskin Bill on the news (when it was 'news'), before i rode my bike to school. I was 11 and remember it like it was yesterday.

I remember it well…. Mother Nature at her best.

If you get the chance to visit Mt St. Helens, and especially climb it, it's worth any drive from Portland or Seattle.
It's truly a surreal place. Like nowhere else you can easily visit on earth.

How much carbon dioxide did that release to our atmosphere?

I remember we spent a full day learning about this in 4th grade. Never really heard of it again until now.
