www.pbs.org When Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980, every living thing in the blast zone was buried beneath 300 feet of avalanche debris. Then, to everyone’s surprise, life began to bloom again. On Tuesday, May 4 at 8PM ET/PT NOVA presents a pioneering look at the interplay between biology and geology that may help scientists predict future volcanic eruptions.
I SAW A PYROCLASTIC FLOW!
@IPVentertainment
I beg to differ. The Rosenquist sequence (and the actual eruption’s opening moments) did NOT look like what NOVA put out. There’s actual video taken of the first minute of the eruption from two vantage points and in no video did we see an overly-dramatic portrayal of it as what has been done here.
@srosenow98 Nah, that’s what it looked like. It’s just the frame sequence Gary photographed was too sparsed out to look as dramatic and as frightening as it actually was. I do agree though that it should have been entirely recreated instead of superimposed onto an image sequence of photographs. That’s a bludge on their part.
Whoa… dude.
I am getting SO SICK of seeing volcano documentaries about Mt. St. Helens resorting to overly-dramaticizing the eruption itself.
If I were Gary Rosenquist, I would sue for violating copyright bycreating this gawd-awful derivative work!
The original, unedited, unaltered Rosenquist sequence should have been good and well enough for this documentary. I am competely appalled, PBS, at this. You’ve definitely lost a viewer.
eeree
Zombie mountain!
Nothing to really worry about.
They’re just being melo-dramatic inorder to boost ratings.
But it looks interesting, though.
Life force is so resilient.
Wonder if they’re gonna show that cameraman caught in the smoke?
awesome
