The Next Pompeii | Full Documentary | NOVA | PBS
In the shadow of Vesuvius and Pompeii, a lesser-known volcano puts the city of Naples at risk. (Aired February 20, 2019)
Official Website: https://to.pbs.org/4a4WE6k #novapbs
In the shadow of Italyâs Vesuvius, a lesser-known volcano rumbles: Campi Flegrei. An eruption could endanger the millions of residents of the city of Naples. Scientists gain new insights into what happened in nearby Pompeii, and dig into the unique geology of Campi Flegrei. How will they know if the ever-shifting ground is reaching a breaking point? And can an innovative eruption warning system prevent Naples becoming the next Pompeii?

It's not a matter of IF, but WHEN! they need to start reducing the population in the area NOW if they want to avoid massive casualties. there's no way that many people can evacuate in the time they would have to do so.

What if the clams were under some boats? Would it say â..must have been underboats.â? Please. Please learn the difference. Underwater and under water.

Funny how people abandon entire towns because there was no gold left after the gold rush but people continue to live extremely close to active volcanos..sorry but thatâs insane to me. Always that it will never happen to me mentality lol

Sad to watch as history will repeat itself and many will die – watch Aug./Sep or closer to Christmas time as will be interesting if not happened before then but knowing the year is something else to get right- people again will be playing tourists and get stuck in it along with those living there on top of the other issues with human migration , attacks and killings/ wars and some will even use the confusion of that time to kill .
