On a clear Sunday morning, on the 18th May 1980, Mount St Helens erupted after 123 years of silence. The eruption was the deadliest volcanic eruption in the history of the United States. At exactly 8:32 a.m., an explosion so huge it was heard hundreds of miles away occurred. Tons of red hot lava emerged from the volcano’s crater and raced down the mountainside. Every building within a 600 km radius was destroyed. Over 1.5 million tons of poisonous ash were released into the atmosphere. Ash clouds darkened the sky and blocked out the sun. Geologists and volcanologists did not predict the disaster.

Перевод: В ясное воскресное утро 18 мая 1980 года гора Сент-Хеленс изверглась после 123 лет бездействия. Извержение стало самым смертоносным извержением вулкана в истории США. В 8:32 утра произошёл настолько сильный взрыв, что его было слышно за сотни миль. Тонны раскалённой лавы вышли из кратера вулкана и устремились вниз по склону. Все здания в радиусе 600 км были разрушены. В атмосферу попало более 1,5 миллиона тонн ядовитого пепла. Облака пепла затмили небо и закрыли солнце. Геологи и вулканологи не предсказали катастрофу.
