Really?  I need a source for that.  It seems that most people from Pompeii survived, but I think that means they fled, not that they stayed in the center of town to watch.  Either the ash or pyrochlastic flow would've killed anyone who stayed.

I didn't say I would stay to watch. But it's perfectly prudent to stand in downtown Pompeii, and think, 'That volcano's erupting. Feets, don't fail me now.'

To maximize my 'excellent chance' of living through it, I'd run like a rabbit.
