#MSH45 | May 7, 1980
Exploring the U.S. Geological Survey archives, we revisit the first week of May 1980, with a flight over quiet Mount St. Helens.
Later that afternoon, before 6 p.m., the volcano erupted after two weeks of quiet, releasing a small column of steam and ash.

Watching that live stream just had me thinking how much it'd suck if you were stuck on that little island in the middle of the lava flow.
Everything's so hot, and you're on fire. And it's not your fault you fell asleep in that spot and woke up when your sleeping bag melted.

#MSH45 | The Film: Sieber's Folly Pays Off
Along with Harry Truman's family, among others, "St. Helens" executive producer Michael Murphy also struck a deal with one Otto Sieber.
This is the Seattle filmmaker whose May trip into the devastated area nearly cost him and his team their lives.
