CSI: Pompeii

Pompeii was a Roman city in Italy. It laid under a volcano named Mt Vesuvius, which was a very active volcano.

This event happened 2000 years ago and the 27th of August. It was a regular day in Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius started to smoke, but nobody notice. And if they did, they would not know that Mt Vesuvius was about to erupt because nobody knew that Mt Vesuvius was a volcano.

When the volcano erupted, everybody was in shock. Just after15 minutes of the eruption, the ashes rose 15 kilometre up into the sky covering the whole sky and covering the view of the sun, it was pitch black. The higher the ash rose, the faster it froze. When it freezes, it turns into a magna pebble. Now imagine a magma pebble falling at 2 km/h and lands on your head, wouldn't it kill you, or at least injure you really badly?

After 7 hours, Pompeii's streets were deserted. They were all crowded at the beach looking for help from other cities near by.

A cloud of volcanic gas 5 times hotter than boiling water rushed down the the volcano heading straight at the beach. All the people at the beach instantly died. Brains boiled, teeth and bones shattered and turing the remains of thier bodies into charcoal.

The second cloud of volcanic gas tumbled down the volcano heading stright for Pompeii. The remainig people who didn't flee from the volcano were in trouble. But it stopped right before it hit Pompeii. But leaving it a cloud of toxic gas in Pompeii. This toxic gas burned the people's eyes and throut, killing every last person in Pompeii.

After many years of archiology, the archiologists have dug out the whole city including the victims of the event. If you visit Pompeii now, all you would see is ruins.
