Intellifive - Mount St. Helen    Flipping through the idiot box yesterday, I came across this episode on the Mount St Helen volcano eruption that occurred in 1980 on Discovery Channel. It was totally unlike the regular volcanoes because Mount St Helens is an active stratovolcano (check it out on wiki). The episode showed real life witnesses and their experience during that time. Many of them were camping in the forests when it happened. Their escape by a helicopter was miraculous since the pilot couldn’t see anything due to excessive ash everywhere. I am a novice when it comes to Geology, but thought of sharing this interesting piece.
