Imagine being a gladiator slave fighting hard to survive when suddenly everyone loses.

[razzy]

I couldn’t imagine being a trading merchant and returning home after a long voyage to see your family. And end up seeing a city covered in ash

[googlesucks]

For those reading, the eruption wasnt as quick or dramatic as this.
Vesuvius began erupting about lunchtime, and soon the ash cloud started dropping ash on the city. The pyroclastic flow that destroyed the city, however, hit about 6 am the next day.

The residents who left in the first few hours survived. Those that stayed were trapped by ash, then annihilated by the pyroclastic flow.

Pompeii: hey can I sustain life here?
Vesuvius: *yesn't*

[cappuccinolatte]

That tsunami be like: "ooo you're not gonna going anywhere"

[soquidsnake]

And everyone’s boss was like “you still coming into work tonight?”

Vesuvius did not look like a volcano back them, it was just a very tall mountain covered in vineyards. The Romans didn't know it was a volcano. If they had, they'd have been more careful. They were smart people.

1% about the volcano
99% about the cameraman survived

[DeckLand]

The scariest part is they didnt even know what a volcano was back then

Job interviewer: Why do you want to be a cameraman?
Man: *Yes*

Amazing how theres still footage of this after all these years, and the quailty is excellent.

[romelnegut]

2 cities, Pompeii and Herculaneum, alongside Stabiae, Oplontis and Boscoreale, were completely destroyed.

Me: "Wow that's horrible, poor people"
*sees a tsunami going towards the volcano*
"What the..."🤨

Mount Vesuvius, a volcano near the Bay of Naples in Italy, has erupted more than 50 times. Its most famous eruption took place in the year 79 A.D., when the volcano buried the ancient Roman city of Pompeii under a thick carpet of volcanic ash. The dust “poured across the land” like a flood, one witness wrote, and shrouded the city in “a darkness…like the black of closed and unlighted rooms.” Two thousand people died, and the city was abandoned for almost as many years. When a group of explorers rediscovered the site in 1748, they were surprised to find that–underneath a thick layer of dust and debris–Pompeii was mostly intact. The buildings, artifacts and skeletons left behind in the buried city have taught us a great deal about everyday life in the ancient world.

This is way over exaggerated. At first, the volcano started to explode and smoke came out at a height of 12 miles. Then, ash started raining down slowly and Pompeii only suffered minor trembles. The volcano gave way and the pyroclastic flows (ash and debris) rained down, swallowing Pompeii. Mr. Vesuvius didn’t explode like a nuclear bomb and rain down humongous meteors and lava that came spewing out like it was the apocalypse.

Vesuvius: *Erupts*

The entire population of Pompeii: ight im bouta head out

[burr]

Volcanoes are so terrifying because they make u realize just how incredibly weak we are in comparison to the forces of nature
