Pompeii

On the morning of August 24 of the year 79 AD. Pompey saw a cloud shaped like a pine cone of Vesuvius on hover. About ten o'clock the plug of solidified lava that blocked the release of eruptive material, it cracked under the pressure of the gas, and broke up in the air, turned into lapilli, driven by the wind, began to fall on the area south-east of the volcano for a radius of 70 km. Pompeii was deposited on the first layer of lapilli white, 1.2 m, then a second, of 1.4 m, gray lapilli. The rain continued for four days, accompanied by toxic gas fumes and towards the end, after the fall of ash, formed from the dust deposited on the edges of the crater that opened it, falling continuously in it, was thrust into the air by gas. Supervened frequent earthquakes. Who had no way to escape, he was suffocated by gas. Others remained crushed by the roofs of houses, collapsed under the weight of lapilli. It was a real tragedy. The town was brought to light again and if you choose to be guided seem to be still alive. … and after be inebriated by the roman history drive back to your location.
