About this episode
This episode discusses the eruption of Mount St. Helens and its impact on the environment and society.
A peaceful mountain. A warning no one expected. And an explosion that changed everything. On May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens erupted sideways, flattening forests, darkening skies, and reshaping the land forever. It wasn’t just a disaster, it was a reminder that nature is powerful, unpredictable, and always alive.
