Episode 30 of 5 Minute Disasters explores the catastrophic 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, the most devastating volcanic disaster in United States history. On 18 May, a powerful explosion shattered the mountain, triggering a massive landslide and releasing an ash cloud that darkened skies for miles. The blast obliterated forests, destroyed homes, and claimed 57 lives, leaving behind a transformed landscape and an unprecedented case study for volcanologists. In this episode, we examine the events leading up to the eruption, the destruction it caused, and the lasting impact it had on science and disaster preparedness.
