The last Vesuvius eruption on March 1944..... ..The Lava was moving at a speed of a few meters per hour, and had covered half of the city with a thickness of about 10 meters. The dome of a church, emerging intact from the building flooded, coming towards us bouncing on his bed of ashes. The whole process was strangely quiet. The black hills of slag shook, trembled and quivered a little ashen blocks and rolled down its slopes. A house, first carefully surrounded and then submerged and disappeared from sight intact. A grinding noise, faint and distant, indicated that the lava had begun to crush her. I saw a large building with several apartments, which housed what was clearly the best coffee in town, deal with the pressure of the moving lava. He managed to hold on for fifteen or twenty minutes, then trembling, spasms of the lava seemed to move its facilities and also began to tremble, until its walls bulged and also collapsed. Those words are from Norman Lewis, a British Combat. This short video was probably filmed by the troupe of John Houston, they was following the American Army.
