I’m guessing it cooks.

So I have questions
How long did the heat last? I always think of the pyroclastic flow as a quick wave.
How were there so many looking like they were gasping, seated, clasping, holding, not in the fighting position?

Check out the host of videos at link..many have subtitles...they are a fascinating look at Herculaneum .

Why bother to go to Pompeii to research what happens when you get caught in an eruption? Just grab a flight to Iceland right now. There will be some excellent specimens in a day or two.

I hate getting caught in a volcanic eruption.

A talk show host on Midnight Radio just said the word “Hot Dog”. I think that sums it up, a “human hotdog”. RIP!

That will be a handy thing to know when Yellowstone blows up about 10,000 years from now. I'd love to go back to Pompeii (but not in July...my GOD it was hot!) and I'd love to visit Herculaneum as well. Fascinating stuff!

Hi.

Timeline...

Earthquakes for about a month (lower Italian peninsula)... Plums of sulfur and ash going up 40,000 ft from Vesuvius. Glowing in the dark each night.

Pompeii resident:. Hey, happened before. Pass the wine.

BOOM!

Now they have roughly 5 minutes to tuck their heads between their legs and kiss their asses good bye.

Pyroclastic blast ensues, and they were probably dead before they hit the ground.

At least they were happy.
