well what would happen if it was a major eruption and if it was even bigger like then one back in 79 AD then a lot more destruction would happen towns would be whipped out, people would probably die (if they didn't have warning or did not evacuate in time) and it would just be chaos for them.

What would you do if Mount Vesuvius erupted and you were there?

Today millions live around it and there isn't much you could do if it blows up like it did in 79AD. The ash cloud covered everything in the area within 7 minutes. It changed the coastline and buried 65 acres and 3 cities. When you are there today you don't think about the fact you are near an active volcano. I was there and didn't worry about it.

Why people still live near Mount Vesuvius even though it may erupt again?

There already is a city near Mount Vesuvius: Naples. Naples has been there since long before anyone knew Mount Vesuvius was dangerous. The land around Mount Vesuvius is desireable because the volcanic soil is very fertile and excellent for growing crops.


Why is the Vesuvius regarded as the most dangerous volcano today?

Mount Vesuvius still has the potential to produce large, explosive eruptions similar to the one that destroyed Pompeii in the year 79. The population surrounding Vesuvius now is much larger than it was 2,000 years ago. An eruption today would put millions of people in danger.
