Photo prior to or just after St Helens eruption[edit]

I noticed the back and forth editing on whether this photo, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Toutle_River_in_flood.jpg, was taken just before or just after the eruption of Mt St Helens. It looks to me like it must have been taken after, what with all the sediment and trees in the water. But then again, what do I know? I did try to check the source links given on the image's description page to confirm the May 1, 1980 date, and perhaps to see if there might have been some vagueness about the date at the US Army source site. But all three links given are dead. The image was uploaded over two years ago. It says May 1, 1980, but is there any way to verify that? Pfly (talk) 06:20, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed this too but have not yet found the answer. Finetooth (talk) 19:22, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that the Corps is moving its Digital Visual Library but that the move is incomplete. Here is the image data, but the date taken is blank.Finetooth (talk) 19:52, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
