The people of Pompeii did not evacuate in time primarily due to the initial ambiguity of the volcanic activity. When Mount Vesuvius began to rumble and emit ash, many residents believed it was a minor event and chose to stay, thinking it was safe. Additionally, the lack of prior experience with such eruptions contributed to their underestimation of the danger. By the time the eruption intensified, it was too late for many to escape.

How many people survied in the Pompeii incidence?

Pompeii was left in ruins with the city being buried in pumice and ash. Many more people survived than were killed because they had plenty of warning that something was happening or going to happen and they got out. At the latest count there were about 2,000 victims, which, although horrendous in numbers on paper, was only a fraction of the total amount of people who lived in Pompeii. As we have no exact count of the population of Pompeii, (estimates run from 30,000 to 50,000 people) there is no way to determine how many escaped.
