[post_page_title]Risking his life[/post_page_title]
It’s very difficult to predict natural disasters, but it was the job of David Johnson as a volcanologist, to try and predict when active volcanoes would erupt. In 1980, the 31-year-old made his way to an area that was six miles away from Mount St. Helens in Washington.
As soon as he noticed signs of disturbance, he alerted the authorities and ultimately saved many lives. However, he couldn’t save his own life, as he was caught in a lateral blast. He was one of 57 people who also passed away from this eruption.
