1980: Eruption of St. Helens volcano, which killed 57 people

On May 18, 1980, a catastrophic (5 points on the eruption scale) eruption of St. Helens Volcano (Washington state) occurred, in which 57 people died. The relatively large number of victims is due to the fact that the eruption was a rare type of "directed explosion" (like the eruption of the Nameless Hill in 1956).
