Mount St. Helens Eruption. The Gary Rosenquist, AI interpolated landslide and eruption sequence.

It is very hard not to watch this and get a lump in the throat.

For three decades, I have often wondered what it was like as Gerry Martin recorded his last words and what others around the area saw as the scene unfolded.

It is harrowing, indeed. Especially now, being able to listen to Gerry Martin's HAM radio recording synced to the real-time speed of the eruption via a synthetic AI interpolation of the Gary Rosenquist sequence.

This is the next to last step in recreating that event. This year, I will be using this video on a tablet at Mount St. Helens, showing others what happened on that fateful Sunday in May.

Worthy of note, this not only includes Gerry Martin's recording (the first two and a half minutes of it), but also an AI-synthesized, computer generated landslide sequence based off of the Rosenquist sequence itself.

I am pretty proud of this one.
