Disclaimer - this week's episode contains some graphic descriptions of death.
Join us this week as we talk about the notorious eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD/CE that destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. We take a look at the different types of volcanic eruption and walk you through step by step what happened in that fateful 24 hours.
For our ridiculous death we stay in Pompeii and see possibly the unluckiest person in history... Maybe.
