After a quick visit to the market, Fabia spots her brothers, Lucius and Marcus, crossing the Forum. The siblings begin discussing Lucius’ wedding — but a deafening boom interrupts them. They watch Vesuvius spew smoke, ash, and rock — and realize they’ve been living in the shadow of a volcano. Gary Devore follows the siblings as they attempt to survive the disaster.Lesson by Gary Devore, directed by Totem Creative.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/run-sail-or-hide-how-to-survive-the-destruction-of-pompeii-gary-devoreDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/run-sail-or-hide-how-to-survive-the-destruction-of-pompeii-gary-devore#digdeeperCheck out our full book rec: https://shop.ed.ted.com/collections/ted-ed-book-recommendations/products/copy-of-1990Animator's website: https://www.totemcreative.in/Sound design: https://www.campstudio.co/----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
