I said I’d love to watch the eruption of Vesuvius from Pompeii. You said that was bullshit. WHY is it bullshit?

I'd love to as well, but real people actually died in that eruption. I don't want to see that. I love the power of nature, both in it's constructive and destructive side. But I don't like seeing people die as a result.
I get what you are saying, seriously. But when it comes to my life, or yours, if you were in the moment with no place to escape, you would not want to be there.
Everything has an element of risk. You’re aware that 90% of the citizens of Pompeii escaped, right? For me, that’s acceptable. Conversely, I wouldn’t want to be at the site of the Tunguska Event on der tag, or witness the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.
