The 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius did not produce lava flows. It was a Plinian eruption, produducing a massive ash plume and pyroclastic flows. Pyroclastic flows are not lava flows, they are masses of hot ash, rock, and gas that resemble avalanches. Nobody was able to clock the speed of these flows, but by comparing it to similar events it is likely that these flows moved at well over 100 mph.

What does a pyroclastic flow sound like?
Strangely, pyroclastic flows are silent. The speed of sound inside such a flow is quite slow, slower than the speed at which the flow moves. Because of this and other acoustic properties, all sound produced by a pyroclastic flow remains trapped inside of it.
What lava flow does Mount Pinatubo have?
Mount Pinatubo is most famously known for its 1991 eruption, which resulted in a massive column of ash and volcanic materials being expelled into the atmosphere. This eruption did not involve a lava flow, but rather a pyroclastic flow, which is a mixture of hot ash, gas, and rock fragments that surged down the slopes of the volcano at high speeds.
