But I must say we guys from the east are not entirely clueless when it comes to impressive explosions and dust. Here's a picture: [ 9/11 picture cut]

One huge difference between the two (aside from the terrorist aspect) is that the only ones hurt from Mt. St. Helens were those that refused to evacuate the area over the weeks of increasing activity building up to the blast.
Those killed in 9/11 had no warning.
The blast of St. Helens may have been 100 or even 1000 times the power of 9/11 but it was less deadly.
