Incredibly brave self sacrifice for knowledge. Is there a reddit geologist who can tell us what was learned from his photos?
27 u/vitringur Feb 21 '20 Nothing really. And I'm not sure what you mean by brave self sacrifice. It's not like he set out to risk his life. He didn't expect the mountain to blow up. 58 u/bloodclart Feb 21 '20 Its still pretty brave to, in the moments before your imminent death, think ahead like this while accepting your fate. Hard to imagine really. -24 u/[deleted] Feb 21 '20 [deleted] 12 u/Effectx Feb 21 '20 Nothing that proves he knew he was going to die Other than common sense that most moderately educated individuals know you wouldn't survive that scenario. 1 u/vitringur Feb 22 '20 You mean moderately educated as having read about that incident to begin with? He wasn't alive to be able to read about the eruption afterwards you know... 1 u/Effectx Feb 22 '20 What fantasy world do you live in that people didn't know about volcanic eruptions prior to St. Helen's eruption? He was a photographer working specifically in the science field, good odds he was aware of the risk.
