Ghosts of Vesuvius
Archival Summary & Scope
Paleontologist Charles Pellegrino provides a compelling new look at the AD 79 Vesuvius eruption, bringing Pompeii and Herculaneum's final moments, their people, and the aftermath to vivid life. Drawing on his unique experience at Ground Zero following 9/11, Pellegrino reveals the physics of volcanic 'downblast' and 'collapse column.' He powerfully connects this ancient disaster to modern tragedies, drawing a poignant parallel to the 'American Vesuvius' and revealing how lessons from the past resonate with disturbing clarity today.Archival Categorization Notes
