When President Donald Trump speaks at the Mount Rushmore national memorial Friday, July 3, 2020, before the first fireworks show there in years, he’ll stand before a crowd of thousands of people who won’t be required to socially distance or wear masks despite the coronavirus pandemic.

Mount St. Helens in Washington State erupts May 18, 1980, with a fury more powerful than the atomic bomb that leveled Hiroshima. Hot volcanic ash spewed 60,000 feet into the air and turned day into night as the ash fell to the ground. Never before had a volcano erupted in an industrialized country in the middle of a major population center. This photo is one of a series of photos that won a Pulitzer Prize in 1981 in the General News category. (AP Photo/The Daily News, Roger Werth) MANDATORY CREDIT 12/26/99 — Glimpses of a Northwest Century Mount St. Helens had been Washington’s most recently active volcano when it rumbled alive again with internal forces in March 1980. By May its northwest side was bulging ominously. On May 18, at 8:32 a.m., it erupted. The top 2,400 feet of the mountain were destroyed in an explosion that rattled windows as far away as Vancouver, B.C. Wind-borne ash fell thickly in Eastern Washington, disrupting transportation, agricultures and lives for weeks. Fifty-seven people died in the eruption.
