About David A. Johnston in brief
David Alexander Johnston was a principal scientist on the USGS monitoring team. He was killed by the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in the U.S. state of Washington. His body was never found, but state highway workers discovered remnants of his USGS trailer in 1993. His life and death are featured in several documentaries, films, docudramas and books. The most recent is a biography of his life, authorized by his family, and an effort to overshadow inaccurate depictions of Johnston. To date, Johnston, along with Harry Glicken, is one of two American volcanologists known to have died in a volcanic eruption. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, a son, and a daughter-in-law.
