Mount Vesuvius has erupted several times in human history, however, the terrifying eruption of 79AD is the most well known. On 24 August, Vesuvius erupted ash, mud and toxic gases, completely burying the nearby cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The eruption killed 16,000 people.
Thankfully there have not been any eruptions in Ribbleton (we don't have any volcanoes!) but if we did ,maybe it would look a little like this!
