Wow! :o Wow.. :shock: amazing..... :whistle: By 2004, when Mount St Helens began to stir again, many of the problems faced during the 1980 eruption..... Yet the uncertainty in the eruption style, size and duration complicated the scientific response.

May 18, 1980. I was attached to a squadron aboard the USS Eisenhower and we had just arrived on station in the Indian Ocean off of Iran.
A short time later some one in the crew received a souvenir of some volcanic ash retrieved from Mt. St. Helens and it was put on display in a trophy case on the enlisted mess deck.
I know it was still there when I left the ship in Oct of 1981. I wonder if it's still there? :think:

An Aircraft Mechanic only needs two tools, Duct Tape and WD40.
If it moves and it's not supposed to - use the Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and it's supposed to - use the WD40.
