Claudio Scarpati | Final Moment -- After the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, many Pompeiians fled into the streets in an attempt to escape the rain of pumice, gas and rock. The figure in this cast was among the hundreds of victims who never made it to safety.

I’ve seen some of those castings of victims (years ago at a local museum when they had a traveling Pompeii exhibit) and some of the stories they told were so tragic—especially this one of the lost baby and it’s young mother. :*(

I understand that Vesuvius is still dangerous even today, and the city of Naples could go at any time! Why do people choose to live under that kind of possible death and destruction? Same reason people choose to live in earthquake prone LA, or flood prone NOLA...boggles the mind.

"Life"? LIFE?! You mean a fetus in the womb is in HUMAN LIFE??

I had heard about and read about the Vesuvius eruption, of course, but when actually there was in shock. It was as though the tragedy had just happened. I was creeped out for weeks. I expected an interesting historic experience. What I got was a horrifying human experience. Time vanished. Humanity transcends all barriers.

I think it was Robert Harris who wrote the novel, Pompeii. I remember it as well researched, excellent story and prose. It seemed quite believable.
