Why are people in Pompeii safer today than they were 2000 years ago?

People living around the area of ancient Pompeii are safer to day than they were 2000 years ago because of modern, very careful monitoring of Mt. Vesuvius. Vesuvius is still an active volcano and still poses a danger, but with the monitoring, people will have warning of an eruption and can take measures for their safety.People living around the area of ancient Pompeii are safer to day than they were 2000 years ago because of modern, very careful monitoring of Mt.

What happend to kill people in Mount Vesuvius in 79 ad?
