79 AD. Volcanic eruption of Vesuvius. The eruption covered 65 acres and 3 cities with a pyro clastic cloud that covered the area in about 7 minutes with clouds of rocks, dust, gasses, and 900 degree heat . No matter where anyone hid or where they went in the area they would not have escaped the eruption. Today the volcano is still active with a million people living in the area.
