| On or around the 17th of October, 79AD, Mount Vesuvius – a volcano in southern Italy – erupted. Ash, dust and poisonous gases were blasted high into the sky, falling like deadly rain on the landscape for miles around. As the eruption entered its second day, all-consuming pyroclastic flows swamped the countryside, submerging and at the same time perfectly preserving the Roman city of Pompeii. 00:00 - Intro 00:43 - Background 02:34 - The Eruption of Mount Vesuvius 08:03 - After the Disaster I tell the true stories behind some of history’s greatest disasters… but without sensationalism or disturbing imagery. Fascinating Horror is all about in-depth research, respectful storytelling, and learning what we can from the mistakes of the past. You might be surprised to discover just how much of today’s world is shaped by long-forgotten disasters from decades gone by. Music: "Glass Pond" by Public Memory |
