How cool is that!
I'm glad it didn't decide to blow at that moment though. You might of gotten more than a view! *shudder*
Although Hair has said that St Helens can't do much, since the 1980 eruption destroyed part of it, right?
It's true that the 80 eruption blew a lot of the mountain away. It probably will take another couple hundred years to build back up to that big of a blast. Any eruptions now are bound to be way way smaller. but... they'll probably still make for some good TV.
