Explosions -- even the small ones -- on these mountains are measured in terms of many atomic bombs detonating all at once. Your plane would look pretty silly with a rock the size of a Volkswagen sitting in the middle of it. |

After reading that article and some of the peoples statements, I think that maybe they should just open the mountain up and let everyone that wants to get a good view just go right on up to the top. Then when the damn thing blows, that will be just that many less stupid people in this world we would have to deal with. I dont know, maybe I'm just having a bad day. Scott D. |

Apparently they are having a tough time convincing people that this mountain is dangerous. http://www.thesunlink.com/bsun/local...227503,00.html From the link: "Peter Frenzen, normally a scientist at the Mount St. Helens Monument, proclaimed himself "chief evacuationer (stated) "We are making a safe and orderly exit from this location," he said, at first with calm authority. "There is a potential impending volcanic eruption." So there is a "potential impending volcanic eruption"? Is that kinda like a "near miss"? I would assume that to mean there is simply a potential for impendingness. If there were an imminent impendingness, then I think folks would listen. Perhaps the following scale would help folks out there understand more-better: 1. Vague suspicion of potential eruption 2. Potential eruption 3. Potential impending eruption 4. Imminent potential impending eruption 5. Kablowee Y'all are still at level three. No big deal. -- Jim Fisher |

Level three is volcanic eruption imminent or in progress. |

"...AT AND BELOW 13000 FEET MSL TO PROVIDE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT DUE TO POSSIBLE VOLCANIC ACTIVITY." We wouldn't want to endanger the volcanic activity. Boy, they really closed the barn door after the horse bolted. When I asked a briefer about St Helens this morning he only had the, "don't fly into ash, stupid," NOTAM. I told him I'd seen it from about 40 miles away and it just looked filthy and otherwise harmless. He said in Wyoming they call that mix of snow and dirt "snirt". -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/ |

Boy, they really closed the barn door after the horse bolted. There was a TFR in 1980, too. The TFR is not protect the volcano, it is to protect you. Personally, I am coming around to the opinion that they should just let anyone in there who wants to see it, including airplanes, as long as they sign a waiver that they will not sue anyone in the event that they run into each other or are killed by the volcano. |
