We all know

what cause pompeii to fall to ruin, yes?

Yes.

Tour Guide:
The erruption. The

Volcano.

Tour Guide:
And there she is.

Mount vesuvius.

Yes of course.

Mount vesuvius explode and

covered the city in ash.

But can anyone tell me when the volcano

exploded and destroyed our beautiful pompeii?

Tour Guide:
Yes miss?

79 A.D.?

Tour Guide:
Pefecto Miss.

Can you tell us more about

Vesuvius?

Uh ok. It's probably the most

dangerous volcano in the world.

Because 3 million people live

near by,

All though there is some despute

about the name, it's likely a

hybridized Greek and Latin word

meaning "unquenchable".

Perfecto. feel free to explore.

Tour Guide:
Mount Vesuvius has

erupted more than 50 times.

Tour Guide:
The eruption in 79 A.D.

was the most famous, of course.

Tour Guide:
The dust "Poured

across the land" like a flood,

Tour Guide:
one witness wrote,

and shrounded the city in " a darkness...

Tour Guide:
liked the black of

closed and unlighted room.

Tour Guide:
Two thousand people died, and the

city was abandoned for almost as many years.

Tour Guide:
It wasn't until 1748 that a

group of explorers rediscovered the site,

Tour Guide:
surprised to find

that underneath a thick layer of

Tour Guide:
dust and debris

pompeii was perfectly intact.

Follow me. Throughfare!

Move!

Watch out!

Hey honey.

Did you feel that?

Yes we felt it.

Everything ok?

Ok?

Some of the ruins collapsed.

I think even some of the people are hurt.

Are you and Mykaela ok?

Yeah we're fine. We're fine.

Mykalea and I are fine.

I don't want you to worry about

that baby.

Look, I'm going to reschedule.

I'm gonna come get you guys.

No honey. Really, we're fine.

We're just shooken up a bit,

that's all.

I'm sure we're gonna be back on the bus

and back in town any minute now, ok?

You sure?

I'm positive.

I do not want you to miss that

meeting baby.

Mykaela wants to talk to you.

We'll see you tonight.

How are you guys? Ok?

Is there any place to get a

coffee dude?

Love you.

Hi dad.

Hey princess.

You ok?

Yeah I'm fine.

But?

What is it?

This morning at the news stand

I saw tha there had been an

eruption in the Galapagos.

They said there's been seismic

activity everywhere.

But then...

I have read so many times that there's

always activity near an active volcano.

What are you saying? Do you think

you and your mom are in danger?

No. No. Everything's fine. I'm

just being paranoid dad.

No no no princess. That's all

right.

Look...

I'll call you when I'm done, ok?

Dad seriously, everything is

fine. Don't panic.

Really, me and mom have it under

control.

Good luck.

Ok thanks. You and mom be safe.
