People in Pompeii were trapped during the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 due to a rapid sequence of events, including pyroclastic flows, volcanic ash, and toxic gases. Many residents did not evacuate in time, believing the eruption would be minor, while others were caught off guard by the suddenness of the eruption. The thick layers of ash and debris buried the city, preserving the remains of its inhabitants and their final moments. Consequently, Pompeii serves as a poignant reminder of the destructive power of volcanic eruptions.

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.
