Yes, some people survived the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD by fleeing the area quickly or finding shelter. For example, the historian Pliny the Younger survived by escaping by boat. Archaeological evidence also suggests that some people may have taken shelter in sturdy structures and survived the initial eruption.
