Is it possible to survive the Pompeii explosion TODAY?

Volcano eruptions can have serious consequences for human society. By understanding what happened two thousand years ago, we can better prepare for future eruptions. Pompeii was a thriving city in the Roman Empire located just five miles from Vesuvius on the west coast of Italy. It was a resort where the noblest and richest people rested. They walked along cozy streets lived in beautiful Villas and had fun beside fountains. The soil in this region was fertile because the ground around the volcano had a lot of useful elements, like olives and grapes from Pompeii. About 12,000 people lived in Pompeii by the time of the eruption, but it was considered a big city in those days. The catastrophe began unexpectedly in 79 CE at first, with everyone feeling the ground tremble and birds flying away from the volcano as far as possible. As soon as the eruption started, thick smoke and ash started to pour out of Vesuvius. Soon, it became difficult to breathe because of all the toxic gases and rocks being expelled by the volcano. Locals couldn't see inside this heavy gray cloud, and then it started raining heavily. The water mixed with ash and soot, and fell on roofs of houses; it broke under the heavy weight of mud.

When the volcanic eruption wave reached Pompeii, it turned the city into ruins on the second day. However, when lava flows out of a volcano and causes a fire, this is a quiet eruption. The last time Vesuvius erupted was in 1944, but even today it's still one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. Three million people live around the mountain about 20 miles from the crater. If the volcano wakes up, it could be one of the most enormous catastrophes in the modern world.

Pompeii was destroyed almost 2,000 years ago, since then Science and Technology have advanced a lot. We're planning to colonize Mars someday, we've created a metaverse but so far we're still powerless before nature's forces. An erupting super volcano can destroy nature around it and cause technogenic catastrophes: in big cities the phone lines would be overloaded and people wouldn't be able to call their loved ones or the rescue service; there would be big traffic jams on the roads; Panic would spread throughout the streets; fires would start because of falling hot soot; all flights would be canceled; and locals would have to hide in airports, supermarkets and subway stations. A large gray cloud would obscure the Sun and make the air hot. The only thing that can help us in such a situation is a preliminary warning about the upcoming eruption and good preparation so if the disaster starts while you're walking on the streets you should take shelter in a car or building- it's better to buy a dust mask in advance that allows you to breathe freely if there's no mask cover your nose and mouth with any cloth- or stay at home if possible . If you stay at home close all doors and windows so volcanic ash can't get into your apartment or home. Even though these incandescent particlescan easily set fire to carpets or curtains put wet towels under door sills while you're outside. If you need to go outside for some reason wear a suit covering your body completely- don't forget about special glasses that have a dust proof function- and remember about masks.
