On May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens unleashed the most catastrophic volcanic eruption in U.S. history. In this first part of our two-part series, we explore the mountain's eerie lore, the warning signs no one could ignore, and the morning when an entire face of the volcano collapsed in the largest landslide ever recorded. We'll take you inside the chaos, destruction, and four tragic deaths that became part of the mountain's story. Next week, we'll trade geology for the bizarre as we dive into a cryptid that was came from the eruption.
