Synopsis

In the heart of the Pacific Northwest, nestled among dense forests and serene landscapes, a sleeping giant once stood undisturbed - a mountain known for its beauty, its power hidden deep within. But on the morning of May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens roared to life in a catastrophic eruption. What began as a series of subtle warnings culminated in one of the most violent volcanic events in recorded history - a massive landslide... an earth-shattering explosion... and eruptions spanning over the following 6 years. Entire forests were decimated, rivers transformed, and lives lost in moments of unimaginable destruction. Mount St Helens... The deadliest volcanic eruption in the history of the United States.
