Eventually Mt. Vesuvius will blow again. And three million people live in that area today.
Vesuvius a very active volcano has had 27 eruptions since the great one in 79 AD. The last one was in 1944, ruining a couple dozen B25s stationed at a nearby airbase. It is still smoking today, as is much of the coast along the Bay of Naples.
Same is said ob the dormant volcano my house is built on, Hualalei.
But, like Mt Vesuvius, we take the long look and figger we will be worm food long before that happens.
Vesuvius
Tons and tons of molten smegma...
