The eruption in 79 AD was NOT unexpected. Why do you think so many people escaped? For about two months before the big bang the area had experienced a series of earth tremors and the water supply was drying up. The smart ones got out. The ones who stayed were the ones who, for some reason could not leave or simply "didn't believe it was anything serious". This accounts for the low death toll in relationship to the total population.
