Remain of victims covered in ash.

Many of the remains from the eruption were discovered in the 1980s and 1990s, with one that experts are sure was soldier who ran into the ash and gas to rescue residents of Herculaneum. Archaeologists found a leather belt decorated with silver and gold plates around the man's waist , which also held the hero’s sword with an ivory hilt. And he had another dagger strapped to the belt on the other side of his body.

The eruption of Vesuvius on October 24, 79 A.D. buried Pompeii and the nearby towns of Oplontis, Stabiae and Herculaneum under ash, mud and rock fragments(12miles area buried) The eruption is one of the most famous and deadly natural disasters in history. The raging volcano snuffed out thousands of lives in Pompeii in just 15 minutes. The majority of victims died from asphyxiation by the giant cloud of scorching volcanic ash and gases the eruption released. Some were killed by the shower of pumice and volcanic rock known as lapilli, others may have been trampled in the frenzied panic. It is estimated that anywhere around 10,000 residents of Pompeii and nearby Herculaneum were killed on the spot. Today, the ruins of Pompeii are a popular tourist attraction, drawing a million visitors a year. Located on the west coast of Italy, Vesuvius is the only active volcano in continental Europe.

The skeleton was found in October, but unveiled on Wednesday in a press conference, in the same area where the remains of more than 300 victims had sought cover with hopes of being rescued by the ship fleet of Pliny Elder were found in the 1980s. Sirano and his team used special metal blades to slowly and carefully chip away at the lava rock that has kept the man trapped for 1,942 years. The man is believed to be the final victim of the eruption to be discovered as digging at the site comes to a close. An archeologist has compared the impact of the eruption on Herculaneum to the devastation caused by the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, Japan, during the Second World War.

Extraordinary images reveal the skeletal remains of the 'last fugitive' who died a horrific death during the catastrophic Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79 A.D. The remains, who archaeologists believe was between 40 and 45 years old, were uncovered by researchers in what was once the city of Herculaneum. Scientists believe the victim was killed just steps away from the sea as he tried to flee from the scorching magma and a cloud of ash and toxic gas. Unusually, the man's skeleton shows his face turned upwards, suggesting that he had faced the deadly cloud roaring towards him before his death. 'Most of the people we've found her at Herculaneum were face down, but maybe he was trying to reach a boat and turned because he heard the roar of the cloud racing towards him at 100km per hour,' Italian archeologist and site director Francesco Sirano told The Times. The man would have died instantly as a result of the near 1,000F (500C) cloud of ash and gas. 'At 500C, the brain and blood boils and flesh evaporates, leaving the bones, which need 1,000C to burn,' said biologist Pierpaolo Petrone. The victim appears to have been clutching what archeologists believe was a small leather bag containing a wooden box, from which a ring can be seen protruding. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10265421/First-look-Fugitive-Skeleton-man-killed-79AD-Vesuvius-eruption-unveiled.html

Horrific video shows students cowering from a 15-year-old gunman who identified himself as a sheriff's deputy and shot dead three students at the Michigan high school, wounding eight others including a teacher. Chilling footage captured by a student shows classmates huddled beneath desks inside a barricaded classroom as a killer gunman who'd already begun his rampage roams the halls, trying to convince would-be victims that it was safe to emerge from hiding. 'Sheriff's office,' the boy said. 'You can come out.' Students exchanged glances as one whispered 'he said it's safe to come out.' But one skeptical classmate declined to open the door, saying: 'We're not willing to take that risk right now.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10261497/PICTURED-Slain-Michigan-students-Hanna-St-Julian-Tate-Myre-Madisyn-Baldwin.html
