Run, sail or hide? How to survive the destruction of Pompeii | Gary Devore

The video follows Fabia and her brothers in Pompeii as they experience the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Fabia visits the temple, and her brothers work before the eruption begins. As the volcano erupts, they must choose how to survive. Fabia and her family escape south, while Marcus attempts to flee by sea from Herculaneum. The eruption devastates both towns, with pyroclastic surges destroying structures. After the disaster, Pompeii and Herculaneum remain buried until excavations in the 1800s reveal insights into Roman life.
