Why is Pompeii a dangerous place to live?

Pompeii is considered a dangerous place to live because on August 24, 79 AD Mt. Vesuvius erupted and covered and preserved Pompeii with volcanic ash. Many Romans died, and the plaster casts of how their bodies looked when they died can still be seen today today. Back then, the Romans did not know Mt. Vesuvius was a volcano. Today, Vesuvius is still active, therefore, it could be still considered dangerous.
