One example is the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, which destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, resulting in significant loss of life and destruction of infrastructure. Another example is the eruption of Mount Krakatoa in 1883, which caused tsunamis and widespread devastation in Indonesia.
One example of a famous Plinian eruption is the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, which destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The eruption sent a massive column of ash and pumice into the sky, leading to the burial of the cities and the preservation of their remains.
It is estimated that around 16,000 to 20,000 people died in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The exact number of houses destroyed is not known, but the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were both buried under volcanic ash and debris.
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius buried Herculaneum under a thick layer of volcanic ash and debris, preserving the city much like Pompeii. This catastrophe led to the destruction and abandonment of the city, leaving it buried until its rediscovery in the 18th century.
It's simple to survive any volcanic eruption; be somewhere else when it happens. For pyroclastic volcanoes like Vesuvius, hopefully many miles away.
About 200 buildings were destroyed in the eruption.
65 acres were covered and three cities.
As of the year 2016 it has been 1,937 years since Mount Vesuvius destroyed Pompeii in the year 79.
It is estimated that 26 people were killed in the 1944 Vesuvius eruption. However, it is not clear how many people were injured.
None. The last eruption of Mount Vesuvius was in 1944.

The Mount Vesuvius eruption of 0079 killed over 1000 people.
