The world's largest recorded avalanche occurred on May 18, 1980 when Mount St. Helens erupted.
A few facts:
* The eruption had the energy of 1000 Hiroshima-sized bombs
* It resulted 2/3 a cubic mile of the north slope sliding down into the valley at over 150 miles per hour. * Debris deposits as deep as 600 feet and as far away as 15 miles
* The adjacent 23 square mile valley was covered with an average of 150 feet of debris.
The largest avalanche on record happened in 1962, when the summit ice cap of Huascaran , the tallest summit in Peru at 6768 meters, broke away, creating an avalanche that dropped 13, 900 feet, traveled nine miles, and killed more than 6000 people. Rescuers searched for days but only found dead bodies. No one survived
The five worst avalanches were:
One of the deadliest avalanches in history occurred in Yungay, Peru, on Mount Huascaran in May 1970. The town of Yungay was buried in snow and ice and approximately 18,000 people lost their lives.
