helens volcano erupted today, it was the worst eruption of that mountain in 123 years. at least five people were killed fleeing down the mountainside and more feared dead. at 8:32 this morning, mt. st. helens shuddered with a strong earthquake. the explosion was heard more than 100 miles away, the volcano spewed out a huge cloud of ash, 2 miles across and up to 10 miles in the air. the force of the blast at least as big as the hiroshima bomb, 100 million tons of rock blown off the top. possibly as much blown up from below. what happened, this bulging twisting north face of the mountain seen here before the blast exploded laterally, the force and heat of the event totally destroyed an area eight miles long, 15 miles wide. volcanic ash was carried as far as the dakotas today. in spokane, 200 miles east, the dust was so thick, some people wore gas masks.
things. so you get the randomness of fire where some homes are chosen, others aren t. the sustained violence and intensity of a hurricane. there s probably nothing worse. that s why we wanted to get up above it to get some perspective of the randomness and just the violence of how this community was torn apart. i also heard an extraordinary thing today, that the power of this tornado at one stage, people thought was maybe three times the power of the hiroshima bomb, for example. when you hear statistics like that it gives you some sense of just how extreme the violence is and we saw those images of it sitting for quite sustained periods of time on certain areas, just obliterating everything that was underneath it. reporter: absolutely. nothing stands a chance in the path of this type of natural force. you see it on every level here on the ground. the girders behind me from this bowling alley, most of them are an inch thick of solid steel, twisted like a pretzel. yet at the same tim
people and a meteor exploded over russia that unleashed a blasted more than 30 times stronger than hiroshima bomb. folks exploring a lake said they found fragments. meteor although police are warning would be buyers should watch for fraud. nasa experts say about hundred tons of space debris hit the earth every day but most of the objects are tiny specks. you can take everything you knew about the moon and forget it. scientists have made a stunning discovery. they analyzed monday rocks that the apollo astronauts retrieved and they said the moon had more water than scientists first realized. that could mean the moon was not created by a debris by a planetary collision. how did it form? they north sure.
we have john bolton former ambassador to the u.n. and a fox news contributor. the ap gets this diagram nowment what do you make of the timing on this as well as the report stph-g. it was obviously leaked by some government or by the international atomic energy agency, and the timing could be explained by a number of things. i think the key is that it shows just how sophisticated iran s thinking is on the nuclear weapons front. this is a country that is making very substantial progress. this diagram is just one of a lot of pieces of evidence, many of which i saw years ago and they still haven t come out and i m sure other pieces of evidence have accumulated since then. jenna: can you share any of that evidence with us, just you and me and the rest of america right now? i can share what is already leaked out. they are working on a very sophisticated approach to weapons. take the diagram you just showed, people say, oh, but that weapon is three times more powerful and the hiroshima bo
necessary evil. the first of those bombs killed 75,000 people instantly. the second one at nagasaki killed 40,000 more people instantly. within a couple months, 150,000, possibly 250,000 people were del dead. killed by just those two bombs. the nuclear bombs we ve got today are roughly ten times the yield of what we dropped on hiroshima. the hiroshima bomb stantly killed 75,000 people. imagine a bomb blast ten times that size. can you imagine us using a bomb like that now? a bomb that size. we have 1800 bombs that size deployed right now. 1800 nuclear bombs, each ten times the size of the hiroshima bomb, all deployed and ready to be fired and we have thousands more in our stockpile. if you can imagine us dropping another nuclear bomb, like we did on hiroshima and nagasaki, how many can you imagine us drop
