"Of course! The blowdown from the caldera would have obscured the dacite coronal polymorphic schist protruberances. The density current would have been indirectly proportional to the diatreme. The ejecta would have been preceded by fumarolic activity similar to that of the Eocene."Took the words right out of my mouth!

It was worse in Herculaneum.

Alberto Incoronato of the University of Naples Federico II studied 80 skeletons of people who hid in chambers in the coastal cliff face at the foot of the volcano, near Herculaneum. All were found in relaxed poses. This indicates they did not die from choking on the pyroclastic flow of ash and gas that exploded from Vesuvius, says Incoronato. Instead, the intense heat of the flow killed them... Within about one second of the heat wave striking, the victims' vital organs were stopped, their hands, feet and spines contracted and their soft tissues were vaporised, he says.

Y’know, someone sent this link the other day, and I can’t find it in mny old mail. Anyway, posting it in a couple of old topics that are related.
