    It’s a bustling day in Pompeii. After a quick visit to the market, Fabia spots her brothers, Lucius and Marcus, crossing the Forum. The siblings begin discussing Lucius’ wedding - but a deafening boom interrupts them. They watch Vesuvius spew smoke, ash, and rock - and realize they’ve been living in the shadow of a volcano. Gary Devore follows the siblings as they attempt to survive the disaster.
    Lesson by Gary Devore, directed by Totem Creative.

      People still do that today. They think that it won't be so bad, so they don't go. Most of the time, they're right, and it doesn't even become newsworthy. But sometimes it does, like New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.
      For the Pompeii disaster, they had lived through previous earthquakes. There were just things to fix, but things were mostly fine. Except that final time was much worse, and there wasn't a city to even return to.

    I visited Pompeii 3 years ago and let me tell you, it was a rather fascinating and unsettling experience at the same time.
    Right at the entrance you can see some of those "living statues" with terrified expressions on their faces. Some of them were apparently sleeping (and I personally think that was the best way to go), some others seem to be grasping for air or for some high ground.
    Later I could see tons of skeletons hidden inside what looked like a cave, I suppose they tried to seek for a shelter but...
    Anyway, I really recommend to whoever has the opportunity (and when this pandemic finally ends) to pay even a small visit to Pompeii: you won't be disappointed.

      Don't mean to sound wicked, but, as much as the Roman men, women and children has suffered before death, it is the slaves who are the true victims of the destruction. At least they found freedom in death.

    There is this... powerful attachment we have to the place we live. Especially people from the older generation. It's not easy to move, it's not easy to abandon a place you call home, which can be like a family member, at the first sign of danger. I move quite easily, because I moved a lot when I was a kid. But I encountered how stubborn people can be first hand when we experienced flooding in Bangkok. We have money, we could have gone north. "But what about thieves, what about our valuables?" "Life is more important than..." "So we are just going to abandon our home every year?" It's gotten so bad my friend had to trick his parents to evacuate (he drove them while they were asleep in his car). Of course, hindsight is 20/20; but at the time we don't know how big or small the catastrophe in front of us are going to be. They record big events, but they never record thousands of false alarms too. So when people say "why don't you move..." Like, where is completely safe? Just in the US alone, California has earthquake, north west has wild fire, the Gulf has hurricane, the north east has blizzard, the middle has tornadoes and mudslide. People are never sure when to just abandon everything and make a break for it, it's not an easy decision to make. Hopefully we never have to make that decision.

    I went to the Pompeii exhibit at our local museum a few years ago, and seeing these people frozen in time, some holding each other, or one that really got to me was someone hugging their dog... it's easy to distance yourself emotionally from something that happened 2000 years ago, but seeing the people, animals, and artifacts in person is absolutely heart wrenching.

    I'm currently learning more about Pompeii in my ancient history class . This video is super helpful !. Thank you TedEd !. Also , I feel so bad for Lucius . He couldn't wait to get married to the love of his life and the wedding was only a day away .But in the end , there would be no wedding to celebrate. It was heartbreaking watching him wait for her to return, but she never came . And he dosent know whats happened to her . And the fact that he died waiting for her makes my heart break even more. I hope he can be with his fiance in the afterlife ❤

    another life,
    another day,
    another chance to make it great,
    I'm truly dedicated to watch Ted-ed every day.
    Even though some of the people in the comments make me rage,
    The satisfying voice of the narrator takes all my pain away.
