Could YOU Survive Pompeii?

It's an ordinary morning in Pompeii. The bakeries are open and the public baths are heating up. That big green mountain covered in vineyards on the horizon looks completely harmless, and almost nobody in town even knows it's a volcano. You have about 18 hours before all of it is gone. This is the hour-by-hour survival guide to the last day of Pompeii in 79 AD. We start with the warning signs the whole town shrugged off, then follow what the eruption actually did to Pompeii and nearby Herculaneum. The real killer was faster and stranger than the slow lava most people picture, and this video breaks down exactly what it was. Here's the surprising part. Most of Pompeii actually got out alive.
