When I first looked at this photo, I thought it was just another picture of Mt. St. Helens exploding on May 18th 1980, but after closer examination and some research on the trusted wikipedia, I have come to the conclusion that this was probably not that day, but march 27th, 1980, when one; possibly two nearly simultaneous phreatic eruptions happened sending ash 7000 feet up into the sky!! And nearly two months later the side of the mountain fell off quicker than the popularity of Tim Tebow after the Broncos lost to the Patriots in the playoffs. And that was Quick! Well, kinda like that, OK maybe that metaphor was a little odd, I don't know, but the mountain side slid off at 220 miles per hour spewing hot mud all over the area destroying anything it touched and it was a viscous explosion that rocked the world (not literally, although the affects were documented all over the globe). This is an amazing photo of a beautiful mountain turning into a blazing savage monster.
