It exploded up and out. During this process, the side of the mountain either blew out as well or collapsed. The atmospheric particle density indicates that something exploded up and it was a big explosion!

after many months of lead-up activity which included the growth of a huge bulge on the north part of the mountain, a moderate earthquake caused the entire north flank of the mountain to slide away in the largest landslide in recorded history. The newly-exposed hot and pressurized rock in the volcano responded by producing the largest historic volcanic eruption

Not really. What happened was that the pressure became so great that a part of the mountain side actually collapsed
