May 18, 1980

Forty-five years ago:

Mt. St. Helen's in Washington State

erupted in an explosion,

affecting 11 states and 5

Canadian provinces.

In the aftermath and clean-up,

authorities blamed the volcanic

ash, steam, and natural

explosion for 57 deaths and

missing persons / unaccounted

for civilians or officials.
