概要
 Original In Search Of... air date: November 1, 1980 (syndicated; see Deep Cuts) Hosts: Jeb Card and Blake Smith Guest: Sharon A. Hill, geologist, science writer, and author of Scientifical Americans: The Culture of Amateur Paranormal Researchers. Sharon also has a new cryptid-themed podcast out now called Pop Goes the Cryptid! Snag that RSS right here. Five and a half months after Mount St. Helens blew out its north flank, In Search Of... got a volcano episode on the air, and geologist (and almost-volcanologist) Sharon Hill returns to help us dig through the rubble. 👔 Nimoy Fashion Alert Nimoy trying to cross a military blouse with a safari overshirt - but somehow he makes it work. Nimoy kneels and reveals his dark loafers and dark navy blue pants. Thanks as always to Pedro, our Canadian fashion consultant. Note that those shoulder loops are not epaulettes. Sharon walks us through the eruption: phreatic steam blasts starting in March, a bulge on the north face growing about five feet a day, and her old Penn State professor Barry Voight warning that the north flank would fail in a giant landslide. (It did.) Observers said the mountain suddenly "went fuzzy" from the shaking, the flank collapsed, and the pressure underneath flashed into a sideways blast. Then came the ash, which reached a big chunk of the country. Jeb puts the ash-fall map in perspective with the meter-thick layers he encountered on a dig in El Salvador near Ilopango. Nimoy can't The Photographers The episode has stills but very little motion footage, which sent Blake down a rabbit hole about who was actually behind a camera that morning. Robert Landsburg rewound his film, packed it, and lay on his backpack to shield it. His film survived; he did not. Reid Blackburn's camera was recovered, but the heat ruined it. And KOMO's Dave Crockett kept his camera rolling while stumbling through the ash-dark for hours, producing one of the great unintentional found-footage openings of all time: "I honest to God believe I'm dead." The Eyewitness Our main on-the-ground witness is Mrs. Adriana Johnson, dressed for the part, standing on the hardened lahar that swallowed her neighborhood along the Toutle River. Sharon explains how the blast hit Spirit Lake and sent a hot slurry of ash, rock, and water down the valley, and why that sediment is still a headache for engineers today. A Painter and the hidden "bigfoot" The episode flashes a painting of an earlier eruption without much context. Jeb tracked it to Canadian painter Paul Kane and found his published journal, which describes a "race of beings of a different species, who are cannibals" said to live on the mountain. Yes, the Bigfoot connection to Mount St. Helens goes back to 1847. Kane's next entry, about a burial site set on fire by a visiting American commodore, is a lot less fun. (Jeb reads it in the episode.) Dr. Alexander McBirney Jeb spent an embarrassing amount of time making sure the University of Oregon building sign was real (fool me once, UFO Coverups). It is. There we meet Dr. Alexander "Mac" McBirney, who looks highly amused, and who turns out to have written Sharon's igneous petrology textbook. Founding director, UO Center for Volcanology, his obituary is here. We get a filmstrip-style tour of volcano types that was inexpensive but doesn't look "cheap." The Human Seismograph? Seismographs are dismissed in the episode as unreliable (they aren't), volcanologists are said to be "developing the magnetometer" (they've existed since the 1830s), and so perhaps the real tool is the human mind. Enter Charlotte King, who says she feels harmonic tremors as migraines, called in a 12-hour warning, and had the pores on her hands open and bleed before the eruption (StigMAGMA). The show catches her in pain on camera, and the USGS confirms tremor activity at that moment. Sharon explains why that's less impressive than it sounds. Note: unlike most of the people in this episode, Charlotte King is still with us, and her website is still active. Unexpected Final Thoughts Just when you think the episode is done, it hands the final word to Cowlitz Indian Tribe chairman Roy I. Wilson, in voiceover only, warning of "spirit retribution against the white men who desecrated our graves." We talk about how that lands, what real grievances sat underneath it (clear-cut slopes, dams, Weyerhaeuser), and the woven hat in the closing footage, which is made in the style of Coast Salish basketry hats like this one. 🔬 Deep Cuts & Research Notes 🎸 Goblins about Goblin. The 1981 HBO film St. Helens was scored by Goblin, Dario Argento's house band. Blake's insert covers their path from would-be Yes disciples to Deep Red, Suspiria, and Zombi. Guitarist Massimo Morante died in June 2022. Claudio Simonetti's Goblin is touring a live score to Tenebre this fall. 🎞️ The movie the family hated. St. Helens starred Art Carney as Harry Truman and David Huffman as "David Jackson," a thinly ...
