MOUNT ST. HELENS NATIONAL MONUMENT, Wash. May 18, 2005 — Hundreds of tourists, foresters and government officials reflected with humility and awe Wednesday on the 25th anniversary of the eruption of Mount St. Helens, which killed 57 people and turned day to night across eastern Washington.
Clouds obscured the horseshoe-shaped crater left by the 1980 eruption, which blew off the cone-shaped mountain's top 1,300 feet, spawned mudflows, leveled hundreds of square miles of forest, and paralyzed towns and cities more than 250 miles away with volcanic ash.
Without radio or television, their first clue to the eruption was the ash: "It was like a fl curtain came down," she said.
