主题:【原创】三十年前的一次爆发 -- 奔波儿
这个温哥华不是加拿大的温哥华,而是美国华盛顿州的温哥华,就在俄勒冈波特兰市的北面,是当时美国国家地质调查局在观察圣·海伦斯火山时的临时基地所在地。
年青的地质学家David Johnston这天在火山口值班观察,火山爆发后的火山灰将其掩埋了。
"Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!"
这是他通过无线电报话器发出的最后信息。
David Johnston's voice crackled over the radio link from Coldwater Observation Post, north of Mount St. Helens, on the clear Sunday morning of May 18, 1980. Seconds later, the government volcanologist was engulfed in the volcano's gigantic lateral blast. Other people died that day, but for me David's death hit the closest to home—he was a co-worker of mine at the U.S. Geological Survey offices in the San Francisco Bay area. He had many friends and a bright future, and when "Vancouver," the temporary USGS base in Vancouver, Washington, became a permanent institution, it took his name to honor him.
