Yeah, it is accepted by science that Pliny gave the first accurate account of an eruption. Even by todays standards his observations are considered as valid. That speaks for him really being an eye witness, although a remote one, since as far as I remember, he witnessed the events from his mother's villa at Misenum.

His uncle, Pliny the elder, died when trying to rescue survivors with his fleet.
