    --
    It’s a bustling day in Pompeii. After a quick visit to the market, Fabia spots her brothers, Lucius and Marcus, crossing the Forum. The siblings begin discussing Lucius’ wedding - but a deafening boom interrupts them. They watch Vesuvius spew smoke, ash, and rock - and realize they’ve been living in the shadow of a volcano. Gary Devore follows the siblings as they attempt to survive the disaster.
    Lesson by Gary Devore, directed by Totem Creative.

      People still do that today. They think that it won't be so bad, so they don't go. Most of the time, they're right, and it doesn't even become newsworthy. But sometimes it does, like New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.
      For the Pompeii disaster, they had lived through previous earthquakes. There were just things to fix, but things were mostly fine. Except that final time was much worse, and there wasn't a city to even return to.

    I visited Pompeii 3 years ago and let me tell you, it was a rather fascinating and unsettling experience at the same time.
    Right at the entrance you can see some of those "living statues" with terrified expressions on their faces. Some of them were apparently sleeping (and I personally think that was the best way to go), some others seem to be grasping for air or for some high ground.
    Later I could see tons of skeletons hidden inside what looked like a cave, I suppose they tried to seek for a shelter but...
    Anyway, I really recommend to whoever has the opportunity (and when this pandemic finally ends) to pay even a small visit to Pompeii: you won't be disappointed.

    There is this... powerful attachment we have to the place we live. Especially people from the older generation. It's not easy to move, it's not easy to abandon a place you call home, which can be like a family member, at the first sign of danger. I move quite easily, because I moved a lot when I was a kid. But I encountered how stubborn people can be first hand when we experienced flooding in Bangkok. We have money, we could have gone north. "But what about thieves, what about our valuables?" "Life is more important than..." "So we are just going to abandon our home every year?" It's gotten so bad my friend had to trick his parents to evacuate (he drove them while they were asleep in his car). Of course, hindsight is 20/20; but at the time we don't know how big or small the catastrophe in front of us are going to be. They record big events, but they never record thousands of false alarms too. So when people say "why don't you move..." Like, where is completely safe? Just in the US alone, California has earthquake, north west has wild fire, the Gulf has hurricane, the north east has blizzard, the middle has tornadoes and mudslide. People are never sure when to just abandon everything and make a break for it, it's not an easy decision to make. Hopefully we never have to make that decision.

    I went to the Pompeii exhibit at our local museum a few years ago, and seeing these people frozen in time, some holding each other, or one that really got to me was someone hugging their dog... it's easy to distance yourself emotionally from something that happened 2000 years ago, but seeing the people, animals, and artifacts in person is absolutely heart wrenching.

    One thing I noted is that you said that "they realized they were in the shadow of a volcano" from several sources I've looked at, it's very likely that they had no idea what was happening which makes it even scarier. To have your entire world changed in a metaphorical instant. Still that one observation aside, this was a very well done snapshot into that horrible two-three day span.
    On an aside, a couple of weeks ago I saw some art that reminded me of this subject and I have been piecemeal poking a fictional account placing some cartoon characters I'm fond of to see houw they might react to these events.

    I’ve been in Pompeii and climbed Vesuvius it was quite an experience :)

    Went to Pompeii this July and it’s crazy, tiles on the floor look like they were just put in, Led pipes are still intact around the city.
    The mosaics in some of the building are astounding, we reached the main forum of the city and it’s a direct view of Vesuvius it’s really jarring, because the volcano looks like it could erupt at any moment and you’re standing in the middle almost of an ancient city that was completely destroyed by it,
    truly an experience with an emotion you can’t describe. It’s not a journey for everyone tbh, it gets pretty hot and there’s a lot dust that isn’t helped by the wind but if you do have the ability to go I highly recommend it!

    another life,
    another day,
    another chance to make it great,
    I'm truly dedicated to watch Ted-ed every day.
    Even though some of the people in the comments make me rage,
    The satisfying voice of the narrator takes all my pain away.

    this always fascinates me, how ancient people dealt with the one thing that hasn't changed since their time to ours: nature.
    great video as always, TED!
