The legs of a skeleton emerge from the ground beneath a large rock believed to have crushed the victim's bust during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79, which destroyed the ancient town of Pompeii, at Pompeii's archeological site, near Naples, on Tuesday, May 29, 2018. The skeleton was found during recent excavations and is believed to be of a 35-year-old man with a limp who was hit by a pyroclastic cloud during the eruption. (Ciro Fusco/ANSA via AP)

The thing about Pompeii is, it’s portrayed as a sudden event with no warning. Those poor victims!

Actually, Vesuvius had been erupting on and off for 16 years before that. So there were plenty of warnings that this was a dangerous area, which many people decided to ignore ... and ended up paying the price

Doesn’t Nature / God usually give some kind of warning of big events? Whether people want to heed that warning is their own choice

I've visited Pompeii once.It was in July...temp about 99...humidity about 99%...that visit having caused of the worst sunburn I've ever had.

I'd love to go back there on a cloudy,cool day in January...and I'd love to hit Herculaneum as well.

A new program titled "Pompeii's Final Hours: New Evidence" will be airing on the UK's Channel 5 starting tomorrow. It's a three part series. I subscribe to British torrent sites to find these programs, but it may show up on other torrent sites as well. PBS will sometimes eventually air these programs.

In order to know what upcoming programs are going to air on UK TV, I go to:

Radio Times
