Really chilling to see one of those plaster casts at Pompeii up close. Some even contain remements of bone and teeth, and you can see the expresson of terror on the faces. Here is one that I took two years ago:

That’s fascinating. Are those really the guy’s teeth or were they added?

What a horrible end. Pompeii is one place I’d love to visit.
