Here's a cool little pic that I found linked on facebook, not a cool aviation pic or anything, but cool and educational:

The thread title doesn't say anything about aviation, though it has trended in that direction, and that picture is very cool indeed.

Still takes my breath away; move over Pompeii-Mt St Helens(both 5's on VEI scale)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_large_volcanic_eruptions

I was just wondering how many doomed people are in that picture.

I'd wager at least six or seven; campers, Harry Truman, Reid Blackburn, David Johnston. IIRC a lot of the 57 deaths were from the mudslides that engulfed the rivers around the volcano.
From a scientific viewpoint the eruption was quite interesting in its lateral blast, but the human cost was terrible...but at least there was warning of its eruption and people were able to evacuate, otherwise the death toll would have been a multitude higher.
